Cam Newton GQ interview w/ pics (no homo)

Character question raised: Can Cam Newton create trust and lead under pressure? And answered: Last year, as Auburn football was nearly engulfed by allegations that Newton's dad sought payola for his quarterbacking services, Cam delivered the greatest season any college athlete has ever had, replete with no losses, the BSC National Championship, and the Heisman. Did you see that forty-nine-yard pachinko-ball dash against LSU? Or the 24–0 deficit he erased at 'Bama? Time and again, Newton waded into the lagoon in which his ten buddies had driven their pickup and flung the whole thing back onto the road. Gaudy as these exploits were, it was what you didn't see that may be the best indicator of what the number one overall draft pick will bring as a Carolina Panther. No matter how tight the squeeze, you never saw Cam Newton frustrated or even tense. A guy who generates 62 percent of his team's overall offense may be on fire, but he's not tense.

..Because when I think of acute, informed analysis on Pro Football, I think GQ.

JK. Good mention. Got no beef with our franchise guy getting some positive press. I'll have to pick up this month's issue. I just hope he does better then after Jawalrus Russel appeared in GQ.

I'm a huge Cam supporter. I look forward to him on the field. I expect him to make mistakes but I also expect him to those jaw dropping plays that make you say, Damn!! Did you see that? This kid has brought more hype and publicity to this team than ANY other player. I tend to compare him to the freakish athletic skills of Julius Peppers but with more heart and a ton more Charisma and personality.

Go Panthers

They say a picture says a thousand words and what I see with JeMarcus Russell is a private jet and a $50,000 mink coat vs. a kid dressed like he just walked out of the gap or JCrew as well as Cam is holding a bag of footballs. This makes me wonder if either of them had a say so in what they wanted to wear and how they wanted to be depicted.

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
