We're not the only ones that dont like Peter King....

[rayzor]

Dude, you know what the best part is about a qb you initially doubted on a team that's finally winning? You can just manufacture some bullshit about him "proving himself worthy" in some way you thought he wasn't paying off on so that it actually looks like you were still right all along, which would suggest that you actually know what you're talking about! That's like when people rag on cam being immature in his first two years, instead of understanding the process of learning the game and the external variables like defense that have nothing to do with cam, we can say he matured just now, and use some anecdote we found that probably really meant little to back our point, thus confirming everything we initially said about newton as truth!

has he grown and matured the last couple years? absolutley...pretty much everyone does, esp. at that age.

 

the problem is where his base was coming into the league. they painted him as some smug, entitled, raw product lacking real QB skills, and lacking the leadership and decision making intangibles needed in a true franchise QB.

 

the truth is that was never true. he had room for growth, but was never as bad as the narrative would lead you to believento begin with.

As a guitar player........I'd never listen to a person trying to tell me how to make blues bending notes on my guitar that have never even held one in their hands let alone played one.

 

Peter King is such an individual.............

To me it's as if people think maturity is just a light switch that goes on at a certain age, and though it might seem as if, it's really a long process that takes time and could even possibly be irrelevant in the story of cam's ascent. It has more to do with the fact that the defense has gotten gradually better and that the two years of experience that cam had behind him in 2013 that he didn't have in 2011 helps him make plays when it counts now, which is pretty much what people like me have been saying all along about cam since before we drafted him.

On a maturity level in the traditional sense, he's probably not changed that much since 2011. And of course his perceived lack of maturity in his first two years was overstated. He's a competitor, and the way the panthers lost games then was absolutely frustrating. His increasingly masterful grasp of the pro game is what is paying off right now.

Those tweets by @SI_PeterKing duirng NO/CAR are… hard to fathom. Win or lose vs a good Saints team, Cam's season didn't need "saving."

 One of the first parts of the MMQB are about what King was thinking when he made those tweets.

Time was drawing short for Cam Newton to justify why he’d been the first pick in the 2011 draft, and why the Carolina Panthers made him the franchise cornerstone 32 months ago. In the last 20 minutes of the NFC South title game Sunday in Charlotte, he’d gone three-and-out four straight times. Four series with the division on the line, 16 yards. Playing at home. Losing, 13-10, the only touchdown coming on a 43-yard run by DeAngelo Williams. Sitting there at NBC, I’d seen enough. I tweeted: “Has Cam Newton made a play today? One?” Then: “Carolina drafted Newton first overall for games like this, and he’s failing them miserably today.”

Which he was—until the final minute happened. Handcuffed to 157 yards over the first 59 minutes, the Panthers got three clutch completions from Newton, the last a 14-yard touchdown throw on which street free-agent Domenik Hixon made a good diving catch. One of the marks of great quarterbacks is playing big when it counts, and Newton’s 65-yard, 32-second, no-timeouts drive to all but win the division (the Saints need to beat the Bucs and have the Panthers lose to the Falcons in Week 17) was as big as it gets, and on this day, it showed that the Panthers’ faith in Newton in 2011 was well-placed.

Good for Newton, who has morphed from a quarterback too reliant on his running ability to a good all-around quarterback who can make the biggest plays when it counts the most.

Damshek just does not want to encounter the wrath of the Huddle and the Panther Nation again.  We already bitch slapped him once this year.

[Awesomeness!!]

Did Peter King slam Matt Stafford after he actually did throw the Lions season away?

Newton had PLENTY of thing he needs to work on, but King clearly has a bias.

[footballisasport]

 how the quarterback position is meant to played, and Newton—a supremely talented athlete who doesn't fit nicely into any kind of mold—is their next logical target.

 

Maybe they need to stop molding these players. Sounds like they are always trying to play gods.

That guy is right on point. 

 

I have no doubt King had already written at least two paragraphs worth of material suggesting Cam is a bust or whatever dribble he could come up with.

Like the stuff pointed out by folks like King?

 

Can we please separate the what we don't like about someone, from them having "PLENTY" to work on. All I have seen with Cam are folks projecting their personal ish unto him as if he's some blank canvas without feelings. Maybe whatever folks see in Cam that they don't like has more to do with them than him.

 

What Peter King is showing is he's above reproach in his own eye and is taking his arrogant anger out on Cam because he knows it's easy to do. IMO, that is a sign of a coward, not a man.
