UPDATE! Rick Reilly is a lying dingleberry clinging to his hatred of Cam Newton

I've heard the same from players, fwiw

My coworkers neighbor is Jordan Gross's doctor..Supposedly Gross told the Dr. that Cam doesn't speak to anyone but a select few..that he's the ultimate diva

Don't know how accurate that is..but if it's true it makes me sad..it's one thing to be a diva to the media..but to your own team? inexcusable IMHO

That is very close to what I heard from a player

Jordan Gross has been one of Cam's most public defenders, so he must be one of the select few.

Also, a coworker's neighbor? I'm glad we're going straight to the source.

Funny how everyone bashes the media when they say something they don't like but links the same jackasses when the situation is reversed.

How does it feel to be led by the nose and dance on a string btw? Does it feel as foolish as it looks?

Some of us just bash certain people in the media.

we've already tried losing a ton of games with the aw shucks super nice fellers who you'd want to marry your daughter types.

having some nastiness and arrogance could be a good thing in the long run. flushing out the complacency is something that needs to happen.

This. Give me more Newtons and Olsens rather than the same ole few select players from the previous regime we've continually heard to be "murmuring."

I never proclaimed it to be the absolute truth..hence the "NOT SURE HOW ACCURATE IT IS"

back off

I wouldn't care if it was 100% accurate. This forum is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too hung up on its ludicrous conceptions of how professional players should act and do so with no rhyme or reason on why they feel the way they do. They just assume a QB must be both a humble, team-first guy who cries after every TD and blows kisses to his oline, and yet also a brash, gunslinging prima-donna that instills fear in opposing fanbases.

Cam doesn't have to like everyone on the team, he just has to do his job, communicate with the ones he needs to communicate with, work on his development as a quarterback, and not do anything catastrophically dumb. So far, so good, in spite of crushing losses, piss-poor coaching, unrelenting media scrutiny and a fanbase of retards.

Let the goddamn kid grow up on his own terms, I'm sick everyone making everything he does into a referendum on his diva-ness.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
