Brian Billick is a hater too

“When you look at some of the actions of Cam Newton at the end of the season — the workout for the media, the comment about being an icon and entertainer — it shows me a lack of understanding on his part what that transition to the NFL is going to be about. And these actions show me that he has surrounded himself with people with questionable judgment.”

Thought I'd post this since everyone who says something nice about Cam gets a thread, this is for the realists.

Cue the huggers

True but I'm not in the back & forth Cam hoop-la, personally I'm gonna wait till the interviews & combine in general before I feel comfortable with my view on the prospects.

Agreed but for all the no name people that get a thread because they love Cam, I figured someone who has been there should get a thread too!

His workout, his choice of words, and his father will all be an issue worth consideration up to and after the draft.

any other draft prospect says what Cam said and they would be labeled a loud mouth diva who the Panthers should stay away from

but since it's Cam, it's just swag!

The fans and reporters (Cam lovers) are now having to give way to the comments of the experts (former coaches and former player personnel directors) who have a little better grasp of, as Real Deal so eloquently puts it, reality.

And I am not a hater- I see CN's potential. I am a realist. I also see the risk, and opt not to gamble with this pick.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
