Newton tells Sanders that critics inspire him to succeed

And every year there are players that use that to succeed. Steve Smith is a prime example. Would he have been as good if people wouldn't have criticized him for being too short and claiming that he will never be more than a punt returner? I doubt it.

Lets be honest, I think Steve would have done that no matter what. Even Payton Manning gets criticized he just doesnt use that as motivation. all I am saying is I think Smith's motivation comes from inside of him and it would be the same no matter what.

that is a silly conclusion, but whatever.

He said he likes athletes that play with a chip on their shoulder. Then mentioned athletes that have been bad teammates and selfish human beings and one exception.

Then ended his statement saying at least he'd be exciting.

Seems he should be more worried about winning than excitement and asshole players, but hey, it's his fight not mine.

lol, I agree.

Wait until you're in the humidity of Spartanburg in July, then talk about inspiration...

At least he'll get to go to Krispy Kreme and The Beacon.

Yea all that criticism as inspiration sounds nice, but being a QB is more than just using a little extra "umph" like say smitty uses. The nature of the position requires being even keel, you gotta be patient and make good decisions and throws, how being motivated by criticism helps that is beyond me.

What you're really saying is that you believe Cam is a liar who is not motivated to do anything but get paid. Don't beat around the bush...just say it and be done with it.

no I am saying that it is BS that you hear every year from people saying that they have a chip on their shoulder and that they are a gun etc etc. We hear the same thing every year from a guy that was "disrespected". Clausen said he had a chip on his shoulder when he fell to 48. Does that mean I think Clausen is a liar? No. I just dont think that has anything to do with whether you have IT or not.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
