It's amazing how much hate Cam Newton still gets...

...from callers on Charlotte sports talk radio. I don't know if it's because so many other fan bases infest this city and just hate because they are asshole transplants, or if it's because our fan base is just totally misguided? It's freaking pathetic.

I think it's partially the fan base, as well as the hate he's still getting from the Auburn scandal.

Haters gotta hate.

Maybe they are afraid that he will lead us to a superbowl? There are very few real fans who have anything bad to say about Cam. He & Beurlien are the only NFL caliber Qbs this team has ever had.

Delhomme did good things for the team, but in his case it was the same as The Golden Calf of Bristol is experiencing in Denver...Foxy's commitment/insanity to stick with the run game is paying short-term dividends, but will not end in a championship.

Go Panthers & go Cam!

I think the Huddle is misguided. I don't think people are hating Cam Newton. I think most people not so obsessed with him can see he's making a lot of game-costing mistakes and it's mainly been the offense that's dropped the ball in the end.

People will stop criticizing him when he leads our team to wins and starts playing the game better. It's that simple. When we win everyone will love him. But most people aren't so damn up his ass that they don't know losing 6-7 close 4th quarter games when your offense has more tries than anyone else in the league isn't the QB's fault and the offense. Or when they see so many things he clearly does wrong.

Just people here. Dudes who expect people never to criticize him think it's hate. But in reality, it's just straight talk. And it also comes with the territory of being the #1 draft pick. And he brings a lot of poo on himself because of the things he says.

He'll be fine if he learns. He can't get better without acknowledging, being shown, or told what he's doing wrong in the first place.

Criticism is fine, it's the NFL. But I still hear a lot about his vocabulary, his mannerisms on the sideline, the f*cking towel on the head bullsh*t, his supposed inability to lead. It's a damn shame.

Unless you are winning majority of your games... fans on local call in shows tend to find anything to criticize a player for... Even A-Rod had to deal with some in Greenbay until he truely proved himself. Heck when I was in Atlanta Matt Ryan started his career strong, but that dude was getting blasted in Atlanta left and right.

Most people calling in are not gonna be your resonable fans who are content with things... it's usually more extremist either one way or the other. But call in callers should not give you the temperature of the fan base as you don't get as many objective callers.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
