Last Week regarding Cam Newton:

“Who wants to support something that puts on a performance of embarrassment? If I was a fan of the Carolina Panthers, I would be holding my head down in shame of the product that was out there today.”

– Cam Newton, after his Panthers lost to the Giants 36-7 Thursday night.

Get a hold of yourself, fella. A bomb didn’t fall on Charlotte.

This week regarding Ryan Tannehill

Offensive Players of the Week

Ryan Tannehill, QB, Miami. After the crushing 24-21 overtime loss to the Cards, Tannehill was obsessing about his overtime interception that led to the winning points for Arizona. Good for him. He should be miffed.

No, no. No double standard here.

I noticed that. I had a what the fug moment myself.

Tannehill is still an underdog. People want to see him succeed so the spin is positive.

Cam came out blasting last year and is no longer an underdog. People expect him to succeed and will be cheering if he doesn't. The spin for him is negative.

fug you world.

It seems like everybody has an issue with Cam. Its like its some sort of collusion to make this kid look bad for doing things all young guys do. He sulks he is a bad leader. He celebrates he is a bad leader. I think its funny that all the ex NFLers on NFL Network are like Cam's still dancing and he should be who he is. The guy hates losing. His parents were qouted as saying he hated it his whole life. I have seen what they do to guys when the media has it out for them. I just don't see what Cam has done to deserve it.

I hate to be the one to ask, but could it be racial?

LOL.

King is the one who wrote that entertainer and icon BS.

Cam then snubbed him at TC and now he is butt hurt.

King using Torrey Smiths tragedy last week to get an extra shot in on Cam was extremely unprofessional. That was something I'd expect to read on a message board not from the nfl writer of the year.

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
