I tend to disagree with that article (on some respects)... Newton is already doing great on the endorsement front (UnderArmour, Gatorade, Footlocker, Belk, GQ, Windows Phone, SportsCenter, NFL Commercials)

 

If I'm not mistaken that UA deal was a record deal being that he received the largest contract ever for an incoming rookie (to work with UA).

 

That being said, he can still do more by simply getting the Panthers to the playoffs (that is where I agree with the article).

I took the article literally, as asking if can Cam cash in as a pitchman?

 

Well in my opinion, he already has, see my first post.

 

Next to Matthews and Cruz; Newton appears on more current commercials than any NFL player I know.

 

Obviously commercials aren't the only form of endorsements, but they probably bring in the most money next to shoe contracts.

 

I still believe Cam can do more in the marketing realm, but he's not doing bad by any stretch.

On the contrary, I will purchase nothing Griffin the third endorses because Redskin fans are idiots.

 

Well, Bob G3 is tied to Adidas right now, whom ironically could be called the ACL killers lol Bob tore his and so did Derrick Rose. not sure that is a product I would buy anyway

“He’s playing in Carolina," Shabelman said. "If they’re undefeated and they’re 12-0 going into the last five weeks of the season, that’s great, but they’re still in Carolina, and that’s not a major market. Sometimes people even forget there’s a team there.”

 

Ouch...that was a tough one to swallow

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water".

      I'm honestly not sure how much "west coast" plays into it. There's a huge difference between Tucson, AZ and Spokane, WA where he spent the previous two decades of his career. Chapel Hill is significantly different than Spokane but way more similar to it than Tucson. You're talking about a pretty significant plane ride to get back home either way. He and his family would be flying private and direct so we're talking about a 3ish hour flight vs. a 5ish hour flight. That's basically a wash. It's not like he went from Gonzaga to another PNW program. Tucson is a dramatic departure from Washington state. Honestly a far bigger departure climatically and scenery wise than Chapel Hill would be.
