Cam Newton Interview Today


Lilsmitty09

Recommended Posts

Love it when people make statements out of unfounded rumors. Maybe he does want out, but no one that would know has said anything to that effect.

Unfounded rumors does not mean you ignore common sense. Let's see.

1. Cleaned out his locker

2. Sold his house

3. Skipped all but one player workout for a photo op

4. Didn't show up yesterday

5. Refuses to say on record he doesn't want to leave

6. Has made clear he wants a ring

7. Franchise has made clear they want fresh start with Ron/Cam

When did anyone need documented contradictary evidence disproving all of this to be taken credibly? All one needs to do is look at the optics of the situation to realize that if anyone will come close to paying for 89 he is long gone. It's the best thing for him and by far the best thing for the franchise. By a country mile.

1. Knew a lockout was coming

2. Went on record saying that he sold his house because it was way too big and didn't want to set that kind of example for his children.

3. Got injured last year playing flag football, maybe didn't want to risk something while not under league rules.

4. I'll be more worried if he doesn't show up sometime in the next few days.

5. Won't say on record because he honestly might not have decided yet.

6. Wants a ring, yet has been speculated to want to go to San Diego or Baltimore? Neither of them has won a ring any time recently. Ask Lebron, leaving to a new "contender" doesn't mean poo. And the NFL is an easy league to go from worst to first in.

7. The organization has stated they want to talk with Steve and see where he is at and how he fits with their plan. I never heard anybody say we want a fresh start with Ron and Cam so bye Steve.

Maybe Smitty really does want to go. Hopefully he doesn't. But just because ESPN says something 1,000 times doesn't make it fact.

:yesnod:

My 13 yo daughter said "I wonder if he is willing to play receiver, he would definitely win jumps against most defensive backs." :lol:

The fact that your 13 year old daughter knows what a defensive back is makes me want to cry tears of joy. You raised her well papa.

    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
