Cam Newton Dishes On Where QB Positions Going, Ray Lewis, R. Kalil SB Prediction, & His Own Panther Playoff Prediction

Cam Newton gave a speech and answered questions at the Big Atlantic Classic Tip-Off Banquet on Sunday (the one where RG3 couldn't make it). And while he was there, so was The Register Herald to interview him or summarize it.

In the article, Cam discussed the Kalil SB prediction/Ad, and the effect it had on the team. The Panthers not making the playoffs in 2012. The current elite "Old Guard" vs the young, potentially elite "New Guard" QB's (I know that's a hot topic here lately); his views on the Panthers, as well as a Super Bowl prediction, and why.

The article also mentions his interaction with the crowd; Stating he sang Happy Birthday to a fan (I'm guessing it was a female one, or little kid, otherwise that would be kinda awkward, don't ya think)? He allegedly signed upwards of 1000 autographs (Yikes/Good Grief!)--before and after the event, and answered about 30 audience questions.

He even caught a fans pass. Wow! They got their moneys worth for sure. I hope Cam did to?.... Just kidding. LOL.

Here is an excerpt when asked about the Old guard Elite QB's, such as Brady, Manning. Brees. Rogers, etc., vs the potential New Guard Elite QB's in himself, RG3, Wilson, Luck and Kaepernick:

“It’s very different,” Newton said. “The picture that people are painting for quarterbacks in this league has to be different. Gone are the days of the quarterbacks who just sit in the pocket and have a big arm. Nowadays, you have to be mobile, to some degree. I’m not saying you have to be like a Robert Griffin and run a 4.4 or 4.3 and be able to scramble out of the pocket. But you have to be able to pose a threat to the defense.

“Just having that one skill set, it’s becoming rare. It’s becoming extinct. You look around the league, you see Russell Wilson. Andrew Luck has the skill set that he still can be mobile at times. Robert, obviously, and a quarterback that is in the Super Bowl (on Sunday), Colin Kaepernick. You see what he did to the league — put the whole league on notice with his performances in the playoffs.

“So it’s kind of changing, but at the same time you still have to be able to throw the football in the pocket. It’s kind of give-and-take.”

I like that answer. And notice how complimentary, thoughtful and inclusive Cam is, when discussing other players? However, he somehow has a reputation--by some for being a selfish, inconsiderate, narcissist-type thug. SMH.

Cam also had a Q & A session after his talk. Here's one of the exchanges:

Finally, a Carolina fan asked Newton if the Panthers will make the playoffs in 2013.

“You know what, we will make the playoffs,” Newton said. “You can document it.”

Not exactly a full-page ad, but a guarantee all the same.

Before others freak out: Telling a Carolina fan this after a paid dinner, doesn't equate to a Kalil type prediction. LOL.

I'm too lazy at the moment to give further highlights or insight. It's a decent article, if it's just to hear Cam's Post Season comments on the Panthers and the NFL (instead of viewing his photo's by stalkers, I meant Auburn classmates posted on the Internet), while waiting for the Super Baugh, finally, and the draft in April. Here's the link.

2 years from now you're at an Applebee's in Charlotte. You hear the quickening pace of "clap, clap, clap" as waiters and waitresses approach your table to sing happy birthday and you're wondering why in the fug you're at Applebee's. You look up and see Jimmy Clausen singing to you. He invites you to SIN night at Bar Charlotte. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
