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 am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.

      Dan Marino sucked too I guess. Washed up Elway carried by Terrell Davis was actually better than prine Elway. Lol
