cam newton interview on 'the drive'

[IGSaint]

Its mind boggling how people seem to think Cam has had like 2-4 wins every season.  2 Seasons with Cam we have had a hair below average record.  Cam isn't perfect and he has a lot to improve on, but its freaking unbelievable that so many people think Cam is the reason we don't make the playoffs.

 

Yet somehow guys like Matt Stafford and Sam Bradford were number 1 picks with HUGE rookie contracts and combined they have 1 playoff appearance, yet nobody seems to think those teams have QB problems.  Show some freaking consistency here.

 

Yup it's ridiculous. I never hear the poo about cam that I do about bradford and stafford and their teams have done horribly. Staffords team even regressed like hell last year from the previous winning year yet the media doesn't say poo.

it's because nobody gives a poo about the lions outside of megatron and Cam is a divisive figure in sports talk.

[Mr. Scot]

Here's a media take (Florio, specifically) on the interview.

Newton says Panthers are a playoff contender

Florio invokes the memory of Kalil's full page ad last year.

[The Golden Child]

fuging Florio, always gotta hate.

[CharlottePanther]

i'm worried about the O-line too, but cam's confidence helps me, especially since we're running with the same starting front we had during our last-half winning streak, with kalil added for good measure (and wharton now.)

maybe we will all be pleasantly surprised.

Hmmm, well said. I never did think about it that way. We will have the same O line we had the 2nd half of last season but with Kalil and Wharton. That changes my view quite a bit when you put it that way. Well said.

Its stunning how Bradford never gets talked about in the media. I consider myself a avid football fan and when I watched the Rams game the other night, I had to ask my friend who the Rams QB was because I just totally forgot about Sam Bradford.

Dude is a ghost in NFL media circles.

I mean, what the heck is he supposed to say? "No there is no way we are a contender, i mean have you looked at our division?"

 

I don't get where what he says has any wrongness or confidence at all?

[raleigh-panther]

Once the games start, none of this will matter.

 

Having at least a 2-2 record in Sept, with 2 wins at home would do a lot for this team, its fan base, and Charlotte in general.

[Silent Majority]

I loved hearing him chew them out. He said everything I would want to say to them. After that segment they were all "offended" by how rude he was. I dont know why the panther players even talk to them. They are trolls.

Damn, yous guys are gonna make me play the podcast. I loathe that fuging show.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Love this guy, hope for his success.

Given the schedule later in the year, a 2-2 start would be the worst we could do and still contend for the division title.  3-1 or 4-0 would show we are a contender.  

[Guest Barry McCaulkinor]

Just win cam.
