Cam Newton's disinterest

[Kevin Greene]

It's difficult to have joy in your game when you know the Officials call your game differently from other Quarterbacks.

Regardless, Cam will overcome this and the haters can kiss his (our) ass (es).

[Still Brooklyn]

Cam's just tired. He has to practice, tweet with annoying font, buy obnoxious looking clothing to wear whenever he's on camera, put out shirts for his "brand", promote his "brand", work on his "brand", deal with a girlfriend, deal with a kid, fight off the media, try to improve his icon image, etc. It's not like the old days when a player was just a player. And that's a shame.

steve young a hater.

 

He's just mad cams better than him

[Kakarot]

I see what you're saying, OP. Disinterest is a strong word, but I don't see the swag that was displayed last year. He has been hit a good deal, tho. Plus, what's been going on in Charlotte.

Cam IS disinterested.....

Little Stevie  is pizzed that  Cam  broke his record-most rushing  td's  by a qb.

and he's even more mad that he's going to crush it in a few years time

Cam isn't struggling. The dude had his first real bad game in like 2 years. He's allowed to fug up everyonce in a while. 

Sorry Shula. Cam can't bail you out literally every time.

To me he's seemed angry, not disinterested. I've seen him looking to the sideline fuming several times, usually when he's still waiting on a playcall with 10 seconds left. I think there's a rift between him and Shula right now.

Tomorrow is a huge game for us. We need to play with that that back to the wall type attitude we played with last year.

Small segment on Sports Center this morning about veteran QBs struggling  (Newton, Fitzpatrick,Palmer)

Steve Young mentioned that he felt Newton seemed 'disinterested' and I have to say watching  him live and on TV this season it sure seems that way and I posted such after the first two games, it's like he gives up and goes down.

i don't know if it's all the hits and he is tired of it or something else is going on physically or mentally but I do feel there is something to this and he seems very slow in his decisions and mechanics 

i just don't see the joy that he had last year at all and it's a shame. 

Here is hoping Atlanta's defense is the elixir to get him going again because we know as Cam goes so do the Panthers 

 

Funny how one week changes everything. Remember at this time last Saturday Cam was coming off a great game vs 49ers.

Don't overreact

Made up story...

Cam has taken extreme punishment.  Is he suppose to be dabbing when he pulls his body off the ground over and over?

each week the media totally recreates what players are and aren't

NFL.com has him as the #1 QB in 2016 thus far.  USA has him at #5.  Newton is playing good. 

Everyone around him isn't. 

[Khyber53]

I think Cam is overthinking it. The nine yard drop backs, his running style is more hesitant... And a lot of those "slow developing plays" are also him slowly working through his progressions. He just isn't playing with the same Zen-like quality of last year. 

Last year, he was the game, this year it's like he's just trying to be a good QB. He's not in his natural rhythms and he isn't dictating the action like he has been before.

The rest of the team isn't exactly making it easy for him, but just like he was the lead role in our rise, he's also the one piece that if it slows, the whole team drags down with him.

Some of the things said could very well be true but some things with a six year vet, he isn't doing

if any of you were at the games, and watched the plays develop, there were open receivers and he did not see them even when he had time as he was not doing progressions

i am  a huge Newton fan, even before he was drafted, but what I see of him now, he doesn't seem the same guy

he is the team's engine, they will go as he goes, and as much as I love him, I do not see that joy in him or the rest of the team so far this year and I miss it .

Just watching him with the ball, was worth the price of the ticket.

 

That maybe true but at the same time what can you really do when the league literally changed rules in the off season to keep you in check? I know some of them go to be feeling like if they do the slightest thing it will draw a flag and honestly we have seen that the last 3 games. We have got to be one of the top teams in penalties so far. Wasnt seeing this last year.
