(Chris) Simms & Kefkoe podcast: Cam Newton deserves more respect

[tiger7_88]

Advance to 1:08:30  for Panther's talk.  

Excerpts:

(Simms) "I'm sick of the disrespect for Cam Newton. It actually really is starting to bother me."  (Hey Chris... call your Dad.)

(Simms) "The Cam Newton Effect is real."

(Kefkoe) "Surprise!  Bootleg!  How can you cover one side where McCaffrey is gonna run that's going to take all of your speed, but in the back of your head going "I also need to be ready to stop on a dime and go back to the other pylon because Cam Newton's strides are like the size of my body."

(Kefkoe, with sarcasm dripping) "Will he fall on a fumble?"

(Simms) "Don't think about "will he fall on a fumble", forget about those other 150 times he's run over middle linebackers."

(Kefkoe) "When you're a little cocky, man, people get really upset."

(Simms) "He's giving the ball and wrist bands to children."  (Kefkoe, sarcasm again) "What an asshole."

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Good to hear good press. 

[PntherPryd]

Simms is very entertaining.  Only listened to the Panther blurbs but great job.

Agreed the Cam hate drives me absolutely nuts and I’m tired of the fumble joke too. Yes he should have jumped on it. Yes he will hear about it until he dies. But, honestly, Carolina wasn’t winning that Super Bowl regardless of Cam’s effort.

Offensice line was middle of the pack at best. 

Receivers wouldn’t start on most teams.

JStew and DHall weren’t game changers.

Outside of Norman our secondary was suspect.

Denver’s defense was perfectly built to shut that team down with insane amounts of pressure and by covering subpar receivers with above average corners.

The picture of his current stats compared to his MVP year so far is stunning.

Great analysis of the panthers offense.  Have to cover entire field and with so much movement its hard to know where the ball is going.  Its an offense never before seen and its because of #1.  A lot of respect for Cam in this vid, nice to see for a change.

Plus if he had fallen on the fumble it would have been 4th & more than 10-15 from your redzone, Ron would have punted, not sure if there was more than 3-4 minutes left. Plus they needed a TD not a field goal to tie/take a lead

You forgot the refs consciously cheating us out of the game. That was the biggest factor.

Needed receivers to convert 1st downs. Cam Newton was hitting them in the hands and they could not catch.

Who would have thought not addressing the receiver position would have ever been a problem.

I've distanced myself from it since that night and probably won't come near that stuff until we win it all, then it can just become apart of that journey and make the eventual win all the better. But yeah no chance I'm torturing myself like that.

[Bartin]

Simms is an absolute dumbass but I’m happy he loves Cam.
