I laughed at this bit. 

To elevate yourself into superstardom in the world of sports, whether it is Tom Brady or Kobe Bryant, you need to be the first in and last out every single day. The preparation needs to be elaborate, and the confidence will come as a result. 

Cam Newton is a star in every sense of the word. He plays the game well, he is polarizing, and generates entertainment at every turn. However, he lacks the work ethic to become a superstar. 

Colin Cowherd explains below.

The work ethic thing was a narrative about 2 or 3 years ago.

It was proven to be unequivocally pure bullshit.

He's just trying to get attention.

Oh I know. He also had quarterbacks he would choose over Cam to start his franchise. I think one was Mariotta LOL.

until he develops a work ethic he'll never be the league MVP

Indeed, brother.

I swear, this repeated bullcrap makes me tired.  And ready to use my time that I use on this league for more useful things.

Its ridiculous.  And me being THE "Nut Hugger", its just been worse for me.  And I'm sick of it.

Seriously, Cam is a good dude.  And I have NO FUGGING IDEA why he is required to submit to this constant bullshit.  Constant nit-picking from his OWN fans of "Cam made a mistake! hur hur Nut Huggers won't recognize it! hur hur!"

Sick of it.

He was just heaping praise on Cam a year ago. Like literally, he all but sucked his dick.

The days of real journalism are long gone. It's all about cheap easy sensationalism, and who is first to break a story so they can rack up the most clicks now.

Our local media is a prime example of this. Jonathan Jones was pretty good, but he moved on to better things.

I won't say anything bad about Mariota.

Seems like a helluva good dude and he's doing well.

Good for him that he hasn't been designated the sacrificial target of the NFL, the NFL media, fans of all other NFL teams, and shitty cowardly Panther "fans".

I don't think Cam has a work ethic problem. He puts so much time into his work and goes above and beyond other players. That being said I'm sure there have been other QBs who did more film study and more mechanics practice than Cam, like Peyton and probably some others. If he did that on Peyton's level, I can't even imagine where he'd be. Cam doesn't really need to go way above and beyond like the very few do because of his natural gifts (he can make perfect throws without any mechanics, pretty much just using his arm strength) but it would help to make him even better than he is.

I like Mariotta and his receiving weapons aren't that good and he's succeeding there but damn am I jealous of that Titans offensive line, particularly their tackles. Conklin and Lewan are complete monsters. Great/lucky drafting by the Titans the past two years to grab those two. That dominant o-line allows both their run game and pass game to have amazing success. Titans, Raiders and obviously the best, Cowboys, all have outstanding o-lines which are pretty much carrying their teams right now.

I don't think Cam has a work ethic problem either. But, I get what Colin is saying to a extent. He doesn't just knock on Cam's work ethic, he also knocks on Cam's maturity which I agree with. I think Cam Newton is a tremendous talent that has all the gifts in the world to be an amazing QB. My issue with him is the showboating, pouting, and sulking on the sidelines tells me he does in fact have some growing up to do. I think the face of the franchise needs to carry himself like a man. He needs to be a professional and show true leadership. I think that's Cam's biggest challenge. When I watch Cam, I see a kid with tremendous talent, I don't see a man. He has the potential to be one of the best QB's ever. But, he needs to grow up.

If only Cam was white.

Don't play the race card. Guys like The Golden Calf of Bristol and Manziel are white and both were polarizing college players just like Cam. Russell Wilson isn't white and he doesn't get criticized like Cam does. Its because Wilson is mature and is a professional. Cam likes to dab, show boat, and pout when his team is losing

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
