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...

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
