Comments on: Cam Newton: I did things in one year other players couldn’t in four http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/23/cam-newton-i-did-things-in-one-year-other-players-couldnt-in-four/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 18 May 2013 05:16:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: dgforreal http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/23/cam-newton-i-did-things-in-one-year-other-players-couldnt-in-four/#comment-979484 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:19:21 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=113224#comment-979484 Everytime this dude speaks he weakens the nation.

Ok, not really but I’ve always wanted to bust that line out.

I don’t know about this guy, hopefully his confidence translates to good performance on the gridiron, but I’d be a bit uneasy if he was drafted to the team I follow.

Oh Great!!! He’s got the Jamarcus Russellitis disease in him. What’s the Jamarcus Russellitis disease? Let’s see.

SEC quarterback – check
Freakish size for a quarterback – check
Only had 1 good year in college – check
Won’t last 4 years in the NFL – (still pending)
Still pending my ass – CHECK

Cam Newton is the Kanye West of the (future) NFL.
————————————————-
Hands down, the best comparison I’ve heard yet. Kanye is brilliant, talented, attractive, hard-working, and a great collaborator. But he wrecks it all with his Big Mouth. Sounds like Cam may be following his lead.

@whatswiththehate and bigbigodnarb …

Oh, come on, fellas. I adore last year’s Heisman winner Mark Ingram, and his skin is black. But he doesn’t talk about himself as though he’s the second coming of Jim Brown. People aren’t reacting to Cam’s race, they’re reacting to his comments. If you want to get upset about “latent racial animus,” there are plenty of real examples to choose from–like the fact that most Americans have now become convinced the President is not an American citizen :roll: Don’t try to create a racial issue where there isn’t one.

Whether you like him or not he is right. He made a very mediocre team a national champion.

It wasnt Chizik’s coaching or Malzahn’s schemes that made Auburn a success this year. It was Newton plain and simple. Newton has nothing to apologize for. Some of you including the writer of this article need to get a life.

He has more talent than JaMarcus Russell so you cant compare him there but he will put himself in a position of grandure in his mind and will flop on the field. His game does not translate to the NFL. Thing that sucks the most about this is all the $$$ he will collect while failing. I fail at work, I get shown the door. These punks suck it up and they just keep collecting the green.

Dear Cam,
Stop posting. It’s not helping. Strict radio silence will make you an awful lot of money or in this case keep you from losing any more of it. Nothing you say at this point will impress anyone worth impressing, it’ll only damage your bank statements.

What an ignorant statement. Is anyone allowed to not like someone anymore without being accused of “hate”? Nobody had a problem with Cam Newton until he opened his big mouth and began making ridiculous, arrogant, and egotistical statements. 99% of people don’t like that kind of stuff. Maybe you’re the 1% that does… or maybe you’re related to him.

—————————————-
Find another vocabulary word…

What, he opened his mouth and told the truth and some writer chose to spin it???? FYI, 99% of the people need to look at themselves in their mirrows cause their behavior on this site shows real ignorance and arrogance.

Amazing how quick u folks love to label a black athlete as “arrogant.” Go find another word cause u done wore that one out..

I will make sure when I see another link to this site to check the writer.

Mr. Smith, ur dismissed.

And, FYI, to the many Smith followers on here, if u did ur homework, u would see that Cam also led Blinn to their championship. But it’s clear that these sports writers are intentionally dimissioning his achievements and he is standing up for himself…WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT T HE KID…It’s clear way to many of you don’t have a problem with hating and encouraging bullying.

Do U plan on taking every word that comes out of this kids mouth and use it to show the world the true colors of this society.

Honestly, I wish folks would stop being so arrogant and judgemental and see where this kid is coming from but I guess that is to hard when ur an African-American athlete and some folks feel you should only be seen and not heard.

Way, to do Cam, your honesty is refreshing and obviously way to honest and “transparent” for some.

Keep speaking ur mind cause it’s clear no matter what u say, the haters will come out in fullforce to bash u, so speak on.

Such honestly didn’t hurt Peyton Manning, so I don’t see why it should hurt u….UNLESS

“I did something in one year people couldn’t do in their whole collegiate careers.”

So Cam, it was 1 vs 11 on every offensive play? Something you might want to learn is credit your teammates and be humble about your performance. That is if you want to be like Manning, Brady and Rodgers.

————————————-

Cam Newton: “We had a chance to do something great and we did it.” The next sentence acknowledged that it was a team game but you deliberately left it off to turn him into some sort of stereotype.

He’s confident, but because he’s black, it becomes arrogance and he’s portrayed as “uppity.” He made a factual statement in defense of his one year of college football. He led a team to the National Championship. People claim that he was acting as if he did it all by himself but he clearly said “We had a chance to do something great and we did it.” **WE** He acknowledged that it was a team game. People are claiming that he put himself in the same breath as Manning, Brady and Rodgers. But he did no such thing. All he did was say that he realizes that he has to work hard to be successful.

If you act like an a-hole, people will treat you like one. There’s no “hate” in that, so grow up.

I like confidence, but there’s a difference between confidence and arrogance, especially when you got personal issues that are an open book.

Hey Cam thei is a team sport. Now you turn your back on your teammates and the college/ coaches that gave you the opportunity. Wow! Also the statement that you did more in one year than most do in their carreer is absurd in the fact that the great ones that you put yourself in the same category in in your comments (Manning) continue to do it day in and day out and never make these types of comment. Rediculous. Best of luck in life. You will need it.
