I'm Actually A Little Scared of This Quote

Cam on losing:

“What I hate is when a person tries to console you or talk to you and they say, “Oh man, you can’t win them all’’. What do you play for? You play so you don’t go into each game saying, “I know we’re not going to be able to win this game’’. I play to win each and every game I play and I try to put my best foot forward on every single down. I don’t go into any game saying I know we’re not going to win, we’re just going to play. I put my heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears into this game and I expect great dividends in return.

I love, love, love the desire, but I have to admit that is a scary quote in some ways as well. Just got to get those wins.

Edit: Good frickin' grief guys, I meant scary as in "Wow, this kid will rip the league a new one!"

that crap should only be scary for other teams in the league.

this dude won't settle for losing.

i kept hearing some people say one of the knocks on newton is that he hasn't experienced a losing season. i don't want a QB that knows how to lose. i don't want an experienced loser. i want this guy who can't handle it and won't accept it.

One thing I keep thinking with all these comment's Cam makes is that people on the team better watch out. I fully expect to see Cam tearing teamates a new one ala Tom Brady/Ray Lewis once some of the rookie status wears off. Yes, he's the QB and a default leader, but as a rookie he still has to earn his stripes a bit before he can really start to say what he wants. And with Smitty having his back, i don't see anyone really in a position to tell him to take is easy.

    • Anybody got a clue what this is supposed to mean? 🤔
    • I figured as much. Hopefully he's just resting up and will be ready for round 3 (if we make it that far.)  Sucks to see. Hes been our best defender (besides Slavin) in the playoffs so far.
    • I've never bought into the idea. There's just too much at stake, even for front office people. Jobs are lost, trust is lessened, lives are altered, reputations are damaged and more. Throw in that the average front office person isn't as young as the average player. They may not have ten years ahead of them to salvage their careers. Any given year could be their last. The only person not guaranteed to suffer some direct form of consequence from losing is the owner, and even there you still have problems (fan reaction, team reputation, revenue, etc). You've also got massive egos in play on that front so it can get personal. Mind you, I do accept that there are "fire sales" in order to build for the future, but even those have consequences. They don't exactly guarantee success either. Poorly run teams often just wind up in the same circumstance a few years down the road. Sorry gus, but my tinfoil hat just hasn't fit me for quite a while.
