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...

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
