Cam Newton's apology for "entertainment and icon" statement

Recommended Posts

Everyone recognises that and only the ignorant would hold it over him.

That said, he said it, it was a mistake and it either shows a lack of judgement, preparation or appreciation of the situation he is in.

It's only magnified because there are other things preceding it.

I'd say he was naive and too trusting of Peter King, rather than had a lack of appreciation of his situation.

Possibly, although they were the ones setting up the interview. If he was naive, it just shows he wasn't prepared well enough.

It's not a huge issue, but it's just another reference for people to ask questions.

He is a charming guy....great smile. Obviously great athlete. Anyone know his wonderlic score? I think that is important in evaluating whether a very good spread QB can make it as an NFL QB.

I do think that Peter King was wrong to take Cam's statement out of context and tweet it. He wanted to make news making Cam look bad. Not the action of a responsible journalist.

No it's called being "misquoted and taken out of context."

Yep.

And even when a Hall of Fame Running Back puts the comment in the correct context, he still apologizes.

If he was as arrogant as some people seem to think he is, he could have said, "Yeah, Marshal Faulk is right. I was taken out of Context. Peter King was wrong to mis-quote me.".

Instead, he took the High Road and said he could have used other words to better describe how he felt.

No such thing a a responsible journalist. That is like saying there are responsible news casters. They want what everyone wants when they go to work, and that is money and money comes from getting people's attention. For king it was shitting on Newton, for News it's Murders, Rapes usually the shock value type stuff. He never took Cam out of context, he let the media do that for him. Not very respectful but then again, it's how these guys work and Cam was ignorant not knowing that, but he knows, or does now.

I am also curious to his wonderlic score. Something tells me it isn't very good. I said it before and I really think intelligence/football IQ is his biggest issue, forget about character, does he have the brains?

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
