Cam Newton on First Take

Recommended Posts

What do you guys think about this? Have you watched him on this show?  He sounds a bit unrefined for live TV, but he's got a great "keeping it 💯 " sort of vibe and made some great points in little time I watched him.

Its a little surreal to see him as an analyst on TV.  It's kinda hard to believe he never got another shot to be QB. 

I've been following his podcast/YouTube show a bit. I'm glad he found some other way to still be involved with football even tho seemingly he's unofficially retired .

Cam was never the greatest public speaker. As you said he speaks well enough to get his point, but he does have some cringe moments.

 

ESPN is looking for hot takes and Cam will be fine in that area. I like Cam because he's a Carolina Panther. He's in Charlotte this weekend doing an event. The guy still bleeds Carolina.

 

I would love to see him debate that lady from ESPN who tried to shame him on Nat'l tv I think her name is Kimberly Martin. That would be hilarious.

He doesn't really have the arm to keep up with a full season and he's just too big of a presence for a backup role. 

that said...i do miss him being our QB and i will forever hate the refs, broncos, and TJ Watt for the damage done to him.

nods sadly

Also kelvin benjamin for literally giving up on the route and subsequent pick 6 in which Cam injured his shoulder

When you think about it: Cam is 35. If he never hurts that shoulder he is probably still our QB. 

Ah who am I kidding Rhule would have cut him because he was a sniveling coward and scared Cam would be a bigger presence in the locker room

Probably not wrong. Rhule wanted his college posse and nothing but a bunch of his type of spineless tools who would revere him like ted lasso.

It's very easy to point the finger elsewhere, but the Panthers bear a LOT of the blame for Cam's abbreviated career. We never adequately attempted (or attempted at all, really) to build an offensive line around Cam. We're still dealing with the aftershocks of that decisions now, because our line has been a liability for going on a decade now.

He's entertaining. Him and Shannon can be pretty hilarious when they start cutting up.

What's nice is they all seem to be having more fun now without Skip making things awkward with his racist dogwhistling. It's more like the NBA on TNT crew now which fits First Take better than treating it like serious analysis.

Skip killed his own career sadly. Dude would come to work spiked off the diet Mtn Dew causing hell in the workplace. People forget he ran off 2 women before the Shannon stuff. He was always making things awkward with his coworkers.

Watching Shannon get under Skips skin was one of the most entertaining things ever to me.  I understand why Shannon left, but it was a sad day for me.

Skip Bayless lol. He is smarm in a sports coat. Just can't take him. The adversarial concept of 'you argue this and I'll argue against you and we'll say outrageous poo to get attention', I cannot be complimentary to that toxic poo - I better not start. Oops.

Skip was okay was writing for the Dallas paper, and I only say that because I never used to read the Dallas papers

    • I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?  
    • I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.   
    • I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
