I find it really funny how some people in the media are so upset when cam does his superman ...yet when Aaron Rodgers does his belt celebration...noone say a thing!

What the fuging fug is this sophomore slump everyone talks about with Cam Newton???!?!? The numbers are easily accessible with a quick search. His second year numbers were every bit as good as his first year, setting aside his rushing touchdown totals and his completion percentage took a small dip. His QB rating was actually higher than his rookie year and the team won one more game than the year prior. When I hear people mention his second year with contempt it pisses all their credibility out the window right off the bat.

Maybe it's because ol Aaron got hurt and hasn't scored a TD for so long that they forgot that he even does it!

I posted in the "season bold predictions" thread that Cam's stats would be similar to the past two seasons but the media would say he is playing better or worse depending on our record.

Well his TD% is slightly up but his INT% is also up from last season. Yet he went from a sophomore slump to MVP candidate in the eyes of the media.

Great Jamaican rum, will people quit pulling out the damn race card every time someone says something bad about Newton.  This is the 80000th time this week.  No one says anything about Kaepernick and his arm kissing thing, nor did anyone give a poo about Lights Out, the Dirty Bird, the Icky Shuffle or any of the other millions of dances people do and have been doing for years.  Calling someone racist because they think Wilson is better than Cam is fuggin idiotic and laughable.

 

The media does not like Cam.  It's not a race thing.  It's a Cam is a god amongst men, hit the damn genetic jackpot, jealousy thing.  He's 6'5", young, rich, athletic, damn good looking, and is now on the verge of being successful at the highest stage.  There will be a ton of googly eyed, adoring fans, as well as an equal number of venom spitting, jealous douches.  Using the race card just makes your argument look weak.

I never saw one post game interview in his first two years where he seemed selfish...not one. He always took the blame for loses and said the right things. The suggestion box comment didnt bother me because the play calling was terrible at the time. They are winning now and all of the sudden he has changed??? GTF outta here

This whole maturity thing ESPN keeps talking about is such fuggin bullshit. They can't acknowledge that Cam is becoming a better passer.

 

Im sorry I don't follow the logic that Cam decides to talk nice in interviews now so somehow that makes him a better QB and makes the team win.Cam is smarter with the football now that's it. We are a more conservative version of 2011 with a defense that can actually be trusted to keep a lead and close games.

 

 

Seriously  if we keep winning I wish Cam do his super man pose in post game interviews and just walk the fug out.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
