Notice the media slowly building Cam up?

[Zod]

As predicted, they are starting to build Cam up. The only thing they like more than tearing an athlete down, is a story of redemption while building him up again.

[FootballMaestro]

They'e also preparing themselves, for the almost inevitable demise of the much talked about Rookies (and that very fortunate 2nd yr QB) of 2012, and Cam and the Panthers being good in 2013, therefore getting more pub. 

 

We'll see?

building him up...or has he changed in a more positive direction?

 

and before anyone blows their top assuming i'm implying newton is/was evil incarnate...you can be good and still become more positive.

I think that he is doing better himself as well.  During the Bears game he was on the sidelines cheering everyone on and acting a lot more like a leader than before.

I've still lost a ton of respect for some of those guys. Peter King, SVP, Prisco, Cowherd (very little to begin with) etc.

Unless they come out and straight up apologize, I don't care how much they slob on the proverbial knobs.

[Kettle]

I've not seen anything positive.  Please give examples.  The only thing I saw this weekend was on NFLN they did a blowthrough on the weekend's games, and they only showed one play(the int) from our game while saying something like, "can't do that Cam".

The day the Superbowl participants are decided by an AP poll is the day I give a rat's ass about what anyone in the media thinks of our team.

What is the right way for the media to cover the panthers? Since it seems like we bitch whenever they diss us, ignore us, or hype us up.

Just some good ol' fashion journalistic integrity is all I ask. 

 

That includes not doing the following:

 

- pulling quotes out of context a la Peter King "entertainer and icon" tweet

 

- sensationalizing a la SVP saying Cam is just a "me me me guy" or Cowherd saying Cam may be a bust after he breaks nearly every rookie QB record in the books

 

- taking blatant cheap shots at a player or team a la Prisco's probowl article one year late or NFL.com which has taken shot after shot on the Panthers and Cam this offseason

 

I get that a large portion of media now a days only cares about ratings.  They literally will say or write anything just to get a rise out of people.

 

The rest of the national media are really just bandwagoners.  They don't have the effort or will to pay attention to small market teams like Carolina, so they just follow each other's tails wherever that may lead them.

fug the national media (most of them anyway)! They have lost ALL credibility when it comes to covering Cam Newton. We don't need any Johnny-come-latelys telling us what we already know and knew.  Lucky for them,  they are dealing with a gracious and classy kid who naturally displays decorum and sweet southern charm because he's really that guy.  If it were me, I'd be saying "Oh, now you wanna get on the bandwagon?  Like Martin always says, 'Get to steppin!'"

 

 

 

Furthermore, they are ready to Pearl Harbor him at a moment's notice. I'll never trust them.

And it's working. God this poo is so easy to just ignore I don't know how you guys do it.

[bleys]

it's inevitable because Cam hasn't changed through 2 years and will only be just as successful this year..  what else are they going to say?

Started winning at the end of the season?
