Why is Alex Smith Jealous of Cam Newton?

For the last week or so since Mr. Smith made his comments about Cam, I've been wondering why.

Why would you attack another QB. Especially a rookie QB. Then I thought; why would a large market QB attack a QB from a small market like Charlotte.

Then a tv commercial flashed across the screen, it was Cam doing a Gatorade 5th quarter commercial. A couple of minutes later, a Cam Under Armour commercial.

So I said let me do a little research and see what kind of endorsement deals Alex Smith has, maybe that was the reason for the jealousy.

Then I found this

On a serious note my Panther brethren, I think the reason he took the shot at Cam is that, both being #1 draft picks, Cam came out of Auburn with an UnderArmour deal, and literally became the face of the franchise and the NFL; then his so called pouting with a Gatorade towel leads to another endorsement deal. These are national campaigns, I couldn't find in a youtube search any commercials with Alex Smith. Cam is probably making more with endorsements then Smith makes in salary. I think their is a strong jealously argument at play here.

I think that is why he said what he said...

Smith doesn't have tiny hands at all... His are pretty average, bigger than Jimmy's... Smith's are supposedly 9 3/8ths, Cam's are 9 7/8ths.

fwiw, Aaron Rodgers has 9 3/8ths, and Vick clocks in at 8 1/2, so...

Odd that you talk so much about a mans hands...

      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.
