Robbie Anderson: Fans shouldn't bring negative energy

Players adored Marty Hurney in 2010 too they gushed about him like he was part of the family. It took us years to flush that mentality out of the locker room and in the process our franchise quarterback was dragged through the mud for being a sore loser.

Everyone loved Marty.  Nice guy that paid people.

Doesn't change that fact that he is losing and knocking fans.

Fields came out apologized for it though.   Claimed a little bit of the Cam Newton defense that he is a poor loser and was rushed in front of a microphone to speak to a bunch of reporters he had no interest in talking to in that moment.  So Fields is at least self aware his words weren't good.  Robbie don't give a fug.  I think Robbie is one foot out the door.  He probably wouldn't be here if he wouldn't of had to give money back.  Think he was ready to retire.

I actually watched the Robby Anderson interview on YouTube. I didn’t take it as bad as this thread is portraying. He actually complimented the fan base more than he called them out, but the tweet preferred the latter.

In other words, Fields spoke his true thoughts in the moment about fans booing and then walked it back after facing backlash.  Realizing "his words weren't good" is irrelevant, it's about this type of dismissive mentality towards fans.

So much for the Cam comparisons.

I mean, in fairness, Fields really didn't walk back much.   He stuck with his core thought.  It was just worded poorly initially. 

Fields is young.  Fields hates to lose.  Fields hasn't lost much until he got to Chicago.  And he needs more time in front of a mic too.

For someone who hates it he's doing a lot of it....and he is doing his part to ensure it.  The jury is still out on whether we'd be in any better spot if he was our choice last year.  The evidence to date doesn't help the case.  We'll see.

Cam hated to lose.  He lost a lot at first too. 

Fields isn't in a position where he is going to have any success.  He has no offensive talent and is now on his second offense already in year 2.

Cam threw for 4000 yards his rookie season.

There's no comparison.

I mean, it's also apples and oranges.  You are making too much of the fact Cam's name was spoken. 

Cam also had several pro bowlers on the OL his rookie year, two stud RBs in the backfield, two stud TEs in Olsen and Shockey and a HOF WR.   And all those studs around him were veteran studs. 

Fields wasn't drafted into a place where you he was going to see success.  As a team or individually.  Where you get drafted matters. 

Trevor Lawarence wouldn't of looked the same if he found himself in Cam Newton's scenario vs where he found himself in Jacksonville with Urban and no talent.

Cam is just a different cat altogether he made some serious magic with very mediocre ingredients. I remember that preseason game against the Bengals. He put the league on notice right then and there. Sigh....

I'm a Cam stan.  But Cam didn't land in a bad spot his rookie year.  He landed in a great spot his rookie year if you look at the talent that was around him.   Not many high draft pick rookies get that year 1.   And on top of that, as much as we like to bash the coaches, they were willing from day 1 to mold things around Cam and not trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Receiving wise he had weapons in 89 Olsen and Shockey and he had Gross (and a young R Kalil) but that was about it. As far as the build around him he was the lone man standing from the entire draft the year we selected him that's pretty damn ugly you should at least get one other starter out of a whole draft. For the most part the Panthers got by on the save me Cam formula we would have had a Lombardi trophy if they had not squandered so many chances to properly build a line around him in his prime. But it's the past now.
