Congratulations to Coach Rivera and Cam Newton on first W of their careers

The game could have been called a lot better from a offensive end (D was not tooo bad...once they focused more on the run), but the W, no matter how acheived is awesome!

We have a team that is young & has some studs on it. I would argue that the team as a whole has never been in such a great position. Even the year we went to the super bowl...which was very obvious to all the following year. I love the fact that we FINALLY have a franchise QB & a young & upcoming team as a whole (apologies to Delhomme, Beurlien, Collins...hee hee, not serious about Collins, he gave up on us).

One stat people forget to mention is the No sacks an no turnovers stat. Cam didn't have a superstar day stat wise but he got a win and thats all that really matters in the end.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
