Why is Alex Smith Jealous of Cam Newton?

[redbuddha]

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

He's Alex Smith?

[jarhead]

He doesn't deserve to hold Cams jock strap

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...

Alex Smith is an idiot.

Isn't it obvious?

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...

I wonder what he's going to say when Cam Reaches the Playoffs in his second year and it took him 7.

The only thing that I don't get is why he chose Cam over Ryan Fitzpatrick?

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