Did Cam’s dabs and grandiose celebrations lead to his downfall injury wise?

Can't agree.

If you want to say he drew some extra hard hitting, that I could understand. But shots to the head are dirty. Nobody deserves those, especially not just for celebrating or even showboating.

i didn't say he deserved it.  he didn't.   its supposed to be regulated out of the game.  you embarrass enough defenders and then superman its gonna happen, period.   that's sports.  you played.  

anybody complain when we sent jarrod cooper in to give mcnabb cheap rib shots?   these are the same defenders, black by and large, who vote cam the most underrated qb in the league.   its not racist.  it has no bearing on what color cam is.  its just football.   i don't think you can regulate the notion of revenge out of the human heart, but you're supposed to set an example of the player doing dirty things to take it.   they didn't.     don't think coach backing up the shots helped the situation, but he told you, as a defender, he would take those shots.   that's how it works.  maybe one day humans will evolve past the notion of revenge, but we're not even close yet

Definitely a factor.

Every play/tackle the opposing player has the option of giving a little "extra".....Cam's histrionics insured that he got a little "extra" on a regular basis. 

In addition to that the ill-advised celebrations have cost the team valuable clock time.

"With 34 seconds left in the first half on Monday night, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton ran up the middle for a first down. The clock was running, and he should have either called timeout immediately or hurried the offense back to the line. That’s not what he did.

Instead, Newton got up, walked toward the end zone, made a first down signal, and then slowly walked back toward the line of scrimmage, stopping to exchange words with Saints linebacker Alex Anzalone. The Panthers finally called timeout with 23 seconds remaining before halftime.

Newton had wasted 11 seconds, and two plays later he threw an interception in the end zone."

I understand what you're saying, but I'd point out that in a lot of cases it probably has less to do with the defender's opinion of Newton than it does what kind of person they are.

A guy like Luke Kuechly probably wouldn't make a dirty hit even against someone he hated with a passion. Vontaze Burfict on the other hand might have all the respect in the world for a particular opponent, but he'd still try to hurt them because he's a piece of sh-t.

I would add that even in cases where you've got a coach that teaches dirty play, the players still have to agree to it

One thing that has been apparent over the years is it really seems like Cam brings out something in opposing defenders that other QBs don’t. It always seems like when opposing defenders hit or sack Cam, they do it with an agenda and with intensity other QBs just don’t experience. 
 

I think back to alll the times other defenders have mocked his Superman pose and dabs when they sack him. Then the Titans game a few years back when he got in the defender’s face after a TD and rubbed it in.

Or the Bucs game where he slowed down and held out the ball before he reached the end zone in a taunting manner. It’s almost like players see that and it’s frowned upon so they make sure to go extra hard after Cam and “humble” him.

Look at the sacks Kyle Allen has taken so far, just very light, garden variety sacks, definitley not with the same force and aggressiveness as with Cam.

Incontrovertible proof that Cam Newton makes people stupid.

Most of the fans that continually want to drag this rotting carcass that is the endless negative circular discussion about Cam Newton seem to be in the 40-50 range age wise. Seems like the kind of group you'd find at a Trump rally.

And then some of us in that age range and like the President don’t fit your generalization at all.

But good job making clear your own self-approved prejudices.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
