Cam is USA Today's "Most Overrated Athlete"

Fun year, eh?

MOST OVERRATED ATHLETE: CAM NEWTON

"Newton is still the best-dancing quarterback of the NFL, maybe the best NFL dancer of all-time. He’s also the most overrated of 2016.

His critics were muffled in 2015 when Newton dabbed his way to the NFL MVP award and to the Super Bowl, where, oddly enough, his descent began. His sub-par performance in the Super Bowl continued throughout the 2016 season, during which Newton’s production and the Panthers’ fortunes have plummeted."

Why did you bring this poo in here?   Aren't there enough poo posts in here already?    You Cam nut huggers kill me with this crap.   You complain and bitch about every article that throws shade on Cam and then proceed to link said articles so that the author gets the clicks they wanted by writing said article.   Oh fug it, break out the pitchforks!

I don't think anyone's overrating Cam Newton, save for maybe a few people here (definitely not enough to warrant national recognition). Most people just think he's a good player having a terrible year -- if anything, people rip on him more than they should.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
