he celebrates touchdowns like he's won the superbowl during games that he is getting demolished.

In that Giants game the TD made it a two possession game in the third quarter.

Not at all dissimilar to RG3 celebrating when they cut the lead to 13 late in the 4th quarter.

I'd say it's a little dissimilar.  At least the Panthers had a reasonable chance to make a comeback.  RG3 needs to take lessons from our backup and start taking this poo seriously.

And even in that Giants game, that was a two score game at that point. He was probably trying to be motivational, trying to reverse the psychological momentum. There was still plenty of time in the game to turn it around.

That is exactly what he was trying to do. The fans in that stadium were all but dead. He was doing whatever he thought would get the fans back into it, he even said as much after the game.

i was reading in the comments section of that blasphemous article about Cam being a "prima donna" at the pro-bowl.

 

And someone had brought up that superman celebration against the giants. A giants fan commented about how he was at the game right there in the front row touchdown area and all the kids were screaming for Cam to do the superman.

 

I also thought he was trying to pump BOA stadium up. He kept screaming "let's go!"  I didn't take his celebration as look at me, look at me

I don't disagree. But if he's winning, I don't care what the media is saying about him. Honestly, I don't much care now.

For me its not even about the media. It's the idiots you meet in Charlotte that talk out of their ass and even a guy like Hawk, who is normally pretty level headed, spewing a rediculous statement in this thread. I suppose its the media that creates these people, so maybe it is about the media.

I was in Northern PA during this game, basically out of touch with society, and could see this.  Even having a conversation with several people when I got back where I had to explain the circumstance.

 

some people are just going to ignore that little piece of information to build up this fabricated story that Cam needs an attitude adjustment.

 

 

I don't know about most people, but anyone who has ever played any form of a sport in the last 5-15 years would go to war with that cat and knows exactly why.  That is, if they haven't lost touch with their competitive spirit.

 

The more jaded people get to sports, who mostly read articles and never watch a game, become a little more neurotic in their opinions..  That is unless they are a complete homer for their college team and then they just become laughable.

Cams attitude is, has been, and always will be fine just the way it is. The media gives mentally retarded people a bad name. At least handicapped people cant help it. Cam is awesome and these nitpicky little worms with their smarmy little sideways remarks are just secretly jealous of our incredible QB, his charisma and smile, his athleticism and abilities, and they hate the idea of a young confident kid being so successful so early because they were such abysmal failures when they were young and still are slimy sad little failures of a human being and know damn well they will die that way.

Oh how quickly you forget or just want to ignore but remember this from the ever beloved Steve Smith going to the media and starting adding fuel to the fire? 

 

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/steve-smith-rips-cam-newton-loss-giants-quarterback-180025405--nfl.html

 

"I watched D.A. and Jimmy, they don't play in 20-something games last year," Smith told Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer, adding that he used some "unchoice words" in the process. "And they get up and they observe and learn and get those mental reps. I told [Newton], 'You can get some mental reps or you can sit on that bench and sulk.'"

 

And than this from Kalil and Gross:

 

This isn't the first time Newton's teammates have taken issue with his demeanor when things go wrong. Last December, he was told by Panthers offensive linemen Jordan Gross and Ryan Kalil that he needed to keep his head up when situations aren't perfect.

"They always get on me — I have a bad tendency of showing my emotions on my face. I have to change it, and I'm trying to change it. But those guys constantly stay in my ear, saying, 'You've got to be that same leader from the first quarter to the last quarter' ... It made me mindful it can be somewhat of a detrimental conduct to the team. If you're mad. If you're ticked off. Not saying that everybody else is not feeling the same way you [are]. But at the quarterback position, you have to stay even-keeled

 

 

 

To compare Cam's attitude the last couple years to a fiery Tom Brady, Steve Smith, Big Ben, etc isn't even the same topic.

 

Considering Cam himself has been very vocal this year about wanting to change the way he had been reacting to tough situations it is blind homerism to think that he didn't have some maturing to do. I'll give him this, I really think he has turned the corner this year and put all that behind him and people will see that but to say his attitude has always been fine when he and his teammates acknowledge it has been an issue is just sticking your head in the sand.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
