Cam Newton: Self-proclaimed entertainer, icon


MHS831

Recommended Posts

Get ready for the Cam-brigade to sweep in stating that it's just a tweet (or claiming you have to have arrogance in the NFL)...

That said, it's not much, but is brought to peoples attention simply because of what has proceeded this.

Again, it really isn't anything, but if I were him I wouldn't be touching any social media, interacting through anyone other than his agent (oh wait, it's his dad...) and only doing very controlled media interactions

Personally I don't care, but in this day in age, you ought to have the smarts to realize that you have to watch what you say. It doesn't matter what it is, you have to all times watch what you say and how you say it. He'll take his poo storm like a man...as he should. Still alot of time left to go.

Well, I hope he knows he gets paid to play football first and foremost. Does the comment itself scare me? not really. Does it bring his maturity into question, without a doubt. He has a lot to learn. Personally I was ok with the icon part, but entertainer? That is just a side effect of being great at football, same with being an icon and I do hope we don't pick someone just for attention, he isn't an icon or entertainer in the NFL.

    • So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?
    • I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing
    • While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
