Cam Newton & Steve Smith Interview


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

So I scrolled through and didn't see a thread on this (lock away if it is old news) but Cam and Steve did an interview on "The Drive" yesterday afternoon that was worth a listen to. There is a video of the interview on the link below. Cam really did a good job and it will be hard for any of his detractors not to see him in a different light after this or at least that is the opinion I came away with. Of course all of what he says needs to translate out on the field but it seems like he is really ready to go this year.

 

Enjoy:

While at the Carolina Panthers Training Camp in Spartanburg, SC, Cam Newton talked with WFNZ’s “The Drive” alongside wide receiver veteran Steve Smith about the criticism he’s experienced over the past few years, the chemistry he has formed with his wide receivers, and what he needs to do to be a successful quarterback in the league.

 

 

Steve Smith, who co-hosts on “The Drive” in the off-season, even got a chance to interview Cam next to him and talk about how Newton has progressed with his leadership skills on the Panthers team.

The book Cam mentions is a self-help about interpersonal skills, effective leadership, and personal development. Regardless of the effectiveness of the book, I'm impressed that Cam is working hard at improving himself as a person and not just as a football player.

Wow a video player worse than our own site's.

 

Yea I can't watch it.  Everytime i play it  it plays for about 30 seconds then a fuging ad comes on, restarts the video and 30 seconds later i get hit with an ad again.

 

For me, it gets through about 6-7 min before the page just randomly reloads. fuging annoying.

I couldnt hear them because of all the yelling in the background. You would think they would have people be quiet when they are interviewing two star players...

On the radio you couldn't hear any of that. It really would be good if they had a podcast of the audio on these interviews instead of just a video option.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
