Sorry Stafford, as much as he was chosen by the media to be the next elite QB, he has to take a backseat to the Peyton brothers. They are more beloved by the media..

And Cam must have gotten more fan votes than Stafford because in all honesty, I would have thought the media would have choosen Stafford over him as an Alt.

Also, please don't be niave to think that our media isn't political.

Who the hell are the Peyton brothers?

And? So are the other 52 Carolina Panthers, and the remaining 53 players on the other 24 teams. Your frustration over Newton having a solid, record setting season is leaking into your posts.

What's funny is that you must clinch to the sack of other players to muster up a weak ass troll at down playing Newton's success this year.

Here's another fact. All rookies following this year will be compared to Newton's rookie year. Not only do you experience his record year first hand, you must now relive it through every rookie that follows him. That must sting.

Pretty sure every rookie playing defense won't be compared to Newton's rookie year.

What are you talking about? They already are. So far I've seen Cam compared to defensive rookies of the past. What makes you think that won't happen in the future?

Really? Every rookie drafted in the 7th round on defense this year is being compared to Cam?

Of course not. Only relevant ones, and that will only happen more in the future when a Defensive player, not just an offensive player, has a significant year to get praise to be considered one of the great rookies.

Being compared to some rookies isn't the same as being compared to all rookies

Use common sense. Obviously the defensive rookie will need some relevance through his performance.

Huge difference there

So you were originally wrong and I was correct? Ok then

No I'm not wrong. The lack of common sense to understand that the last pick in the draft isn't going to garner as much attention or comparison to pick #1 pretty much sums up your ability to articulate the real meaning of what I said.

The exclusion of the word relevant or a rookie of meaning doesn't take away the literal impact or correctness of "every rookie". I think it was quite obvious that every rookie meant one of being mentioned in the same class as Newton.

:lol: So to be correct you have to change the meaning of every rookie. The literal impact or correctness of "every rookie" isn't every rookie who has an all star year and makes a huge impart on his team. Those are completely different things. You were wrong. Not every future rookie will have their rookie year compared to Cam's. It's that simple

Continue to dissect. You only make yourself look dumb.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
