5 Years of Saltiness (A Cam Newton Hater's Timeline)

I kind of brought it on myself as I visited the comments section of an NFL.com article but it really got to me as there are people still worried about his "attitude" from 4 months ago. Needless to say I felt compelled to post this timeline dubbed the "5 Years of Saltiness":

 

2011: Cam won't make it in the NFL (sets NFL rookie records, wins ROY)
2012: He will never be anything more than an average QB (makes Pro Bowl)
2013: He can't lead his team to the playoffs (12-4 regular season, playoff birth)
2014: He has no heart and he can't win a playoff game (wins a playoff game with a busted ankle and ribs, weeks after a car crash)
2015: He will never take his team past the first round (NFC Championship, SB appearance, and NFL MVP)
2016: He can't win the big one

 

Not sure the doubters will realize the trend here but damn does this make me feel good. It isn't going to be easy but there is little doubt in my mind (aside from an injury) that Cam is bringing home SB51 for SM51.

look at how peyton manning was perceived now vs. before he won his rings, the first of which actually came somewhat later (his eighth or ninth year i think) in his career. 

he was a huge, immensely marketable star and already a legend in indianapolis, of course.  but i clearly remember there being a loud faction who branded him a bad teammate (this reached a fever pitch after the "protection problems" presser), a choker, and a stat padder who beat up on a lousy division.  allegedly he would always fold under pressure and would never win anything that mattered, only individual and regular season accolades.

of course now he's the second best quarterback of his generation behind brady with two rings of his own.

This is where I would add the gif of Cam throwing ones from the club ... Couldn't have said it any better.

I don't really care anymore. He's proven himself via his play on the field. I'm sure even Peyton Manning and Joe Montana had haters.

Brady gets a lot of hate too lol most Qbs face adversity either through media or other fans. There are a few NFL golden boys who are well liked by everyone Russell Wilson and A Rod come to mind

Pie to the thread starter. Seeing that trend made me smile.

As for the hate he receives....embrace it. Embrace it because he will always have those who will dislike him or find something wrong with anything he does. Mafugas never loved us! 

Whenever I go out to watch a panther game at a bar, there's always a group that will let it be known they don't like Cam. I like to sit near that group. I sit near them, and whenever cam makes a great play I'll do Cam's first down point. They can't stand that ish.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
