1) If Cam Newton fails as an NFL quarterback, something that doesn't look all that likely after two weeks as a pro, it won't be because he isn't trying to do things the right way. Known as a celebrity quarterback coming out of Auburn, it's pretty clear that Newton has won over his teammates and is, to a degree, showing an ability to grasp an NFL offense. And my understanding is he's doing the right things when no one's looking, too. In fact, here's the kind of story you'll be hearing down the line if Newton really makes it as an NFL star: On the set of an Under Armour commercial that he shot with Tom Brady, the young Panther, a locked-out rookie at that time, was very inquisitive of the reigning NFL MVP. I heard that Brady walked away impressed with Newton.

Passage underlined is total bullpoo... he wasn't "known as a celebrity quarterback". He may have been REPORTED as "a celebrity quarterback" by folk who didn't have a clue, but he wasn't KNOWN.

All the people, players, and fans that KNEW him KNEW that he was a good kid who was well grounded, practiced hard, and was a leader who was totally respected by his teammates. Only the reporters/writers who didn't have a clue (or had an agenda) saw him as a "celebrity". And haters nationwide took their reporting and irrationally ran with it.

It's not bullpoo. He WAS known as that, but that doesn't mean it was true. Sounded like he was defending Cam.

When he said "known" he meant his national reputation.

If Auburn quarterback Cam Newton did not have enough critics, then his recent comments to Sports Illustrated writer Peter King promises to deliver more.

During a recent phone interview, Cam Newton told King that he sees himself as more than a mere, mortal football player.

Newton: “I see myself not only as a football player, but an entertainer and icon.”

let it go .....move on.

Cam doesn't play for AU anymore and the only things that matter are the things that happen from today foward.

you fit in perfectly as a panther fan though.......they love to be looking in the rearview mirror.

And yet again you, as well as King when it happened, pull the words totally out of context.

Well done. You too are part of the problem (most likely willingly).

Once again, he said it HIMSELF.

Newton: "I see myself not only as a football player, but an entertainer and icon.'' Ron Rivera, Chan Gailey, John Harbaugh blanch.

And, once again, you do not provide THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THE STATEMENT WAS SAID.

Odd King never played the recording when he said that, so therefore it is he say. Reporters like King falsely report poo all the time, GTFO.

[Double34Trouble28]

WTF! Why are we still talking about this poo?!

Let.

It.

Go.

It is week 3. We play the Jaguars. Get with it.

Remember how we had to deal with every writer and TV analyst talking about everything that Matt Moore and Jimmy Clausen did last year?

Yeah, I don't, either......

That King article was complete BS. I think Cam learned the hard way about how the writers look to stir the pot. I also think that's why Cam snubbed King during TC.

I've already forgotten about both of those guys.
