Rookie QB Cam Newton will join WR Steve Smith at his football camp this Thursday and Friday at Ardrey Kell High School. Smith runs the annual camp with about 250 boys and girls participating. Smith will be working with Partners for Parks to provide scholarships for disadvantaged youth.

Yep, this guy sure is an a-hole talk about being an egomaniac. :rolleyes:

Personally my take is , as long as you don't pull a carruth , you can be as big a dick as you want, no legal trouble , be the biggest jackass known to man .. Produce on the field and im a fan of yours .. that is all. However I like that he's making this effort to get involved .. if he can do this and produce like we expect , I may forget all about the Auburn foolishness and become a fan.

Edit: I don't mean the scandal , I mean the constant War Eagle chants I had to hear on a daily basis from people in south GEORGIA ... who know nothing of football.

Cam seems to thoroughly enjoy working with kids. He mentored kids at an Auburn elementary school for months last year and he told Jay Leno he hopes one day after the NFL to own a day care center.

I would like to see the Panther organization get behind him and help sponsor a ticket program like "Cadillac's Kids" in Tampa Bay.

I will be the first one to admit, Cam has been completely opposite of what I was expecting thus far. It scared the heck out of me to see what he was going to be like with $50 million. I guess time will tell, but he is doing all the right things. Guy must not sleep.

Good for him. I am so glad that so far, Cam has turned out to be the complete opposite of what all of the haters thought about him at first, myself included.

i didn't want to draft him but I didn't have any doubts about his character other than the difficulties of transitioning into the NFL that most rookies face.

That one report about his fake smile was so over the top there's no way it would be true. It was more just how he threw the ball non-nonchalantly with such ease, it's going to take some serious coaching.

Agree 100%.

Cam has definitely impressed me so far with his attitude, work ethic, and personality.

Let's jsut hope it all comes together and translates to huge success on the field.

I don't think even Cam supporters were expecting him to be like this. He reminds me so much of Tiger Woods with his smile and the way he deals with the media. Let's hope it translates on the field.

Hope is is much better than Tiger.

Tiger's "choir boy" demeanor was a complete fake.

It was, but he is still one of the most polarizing figures in sports. I think Cam has that potential if he can win some games on the field. He just has the "look."

This is exactly how I felt with Cam at first but seeing him strive to be great has really turned me around on him.

I think Cam will be a good football player even if he were to never reach that level of "elite".

He's worked too hard to show he will not be a jawalrus type of player. If he gains the respect of the vets, learns the system to a t, and has a ok season next year woah daddy this could be a fun decade.

On the artilce if I remember right the author is a Bama grad so he probably would have written this way about Gandhi if he went to Auburn

      I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.

      Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
