Winston says Benjamin blessed to play with Cam

[top dawg]

And some people tried to intimate that Jameis Winston is dumb.  Well, he is sounding kinda smart in his assessment of Kelvin Benjamin's situation.  

 

“I tell K.B. every time I talk to him it’s a blessing he got the opportunity to play with Cam (Newton),” Winston said Sunday. “As I was coming up I always loved Cam’s game. I feel like we have some similar qualities—obviously he’s better. But K.B. going from me to Cam, that’s amazing.

 

 

 

 

Did he just give Cam more props...?

 

 

 

He did admit being an Eagles fan (on the downside), but nobody is perfect.

 

“I was blessed to have an opportunity to play with Kelvin,” Winston said. “And no, I'm still not a Panthers fan, but I am a Cam Newton and K.B. fan. I am an Eagles fan, to answer that.”

Yeah Winston is a big Cam fan.  Cam was one of the first names he brought up when asked about his game-winning drive in the national championship game.

 

He said something about the great QBs and specifically name dropped Cam out of no where along with Tom Brady... in fact I think those might've been the only two he mentioned. :P

 

The Winston-to-Newton is going to be a good transition for Kelvin... a lot less adapting because they both seem kind of similar in both personality (from some of the interview I've seen anyways), throwing motion, the way they move around in the pocket, and arm strength.  Although I'm sure Cam probably tosses it harder than anyone Kelvin has ever had throw it to him before.

 

edit: double checked and he in fact did mention Brees and Manning as well... but strange enough it seems like damn near every article edits out his mention of Cam.  Lol, why am I not surprised?

Winston is probably gonna be a Buc or Raider next year

Winston had a better oline

Man, I was trying to find that quote where he mentions Cam as a great QB along the likes of Brady, Peyton, and Brees just to find the actual quote itself, and I began to felt like I imagined the whole thing.  The unedited one with Cam's name is hard to find.  It's crazy and it's ridiculous the amount of articles that just blatantly edit out Cam's mention for whatever reason.  Lol why the fug would you even remove that?  It was part of his post game speech.  I've got nothing against Luck, but I damn sure bet his name wouldn't have been edited out if Winston mentioned him instead of Cam.

 

The closest I could find, and finally relieved me I wasn't insane and hearing poo (and it wasn't from any of the actual national articles):

 

No mention of Cam, but a commenter points it out: http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/400565/gene-frenette/2014-01-07/gene-frenette-jameis-winston-his-best-title-stake

 

 

Other than that the only mention I saw was from the actual transcript from when he said it:

^ I specifically remember that too. I remember saying "what?" With those other names he listed.

And yes media was editing out his name

[xerxes]

The other three are all Super Bowl winning QBs... Also Cam is black. So there's that.

I haven't wrote a paper in a while, but aren't you supposed to add a ". . ." when you remove a segment of a person's quote that transitions to the next part?  It's supposed to let the reader know that it wasn't quite the full quote, but it's what the author thought was the most relevant for what they were trying to convey.  They go straight from 'Drew Brees' to 'that's what they do' without even acknowledging there was a missing part in between.

 

That kind of pisses me off actually.  Some grimey journalism there.

[Razeyfingers]

If we take certain givens, like some media is indeed paid to ignore or hype certain things, then we have to assume that this wasnt racial but monetarily driven. If it was monetarily driven then someone has to make money somehow somewhere for investing in it in the first place.

 

I feel like, and this is a long shot, big money* wants Cam out of Carolina. He would be have gigantic fame across the country (and the world) if he was in Washington, or perhaps Dallas etc. He is a marketing dream so far. Stays out of trouble, motivated, hell of a QB, speaks like a preacher and inspires people. I feel like since his first season passed some big players with lots of money are paying to keep the hype down on him so they can make a play when his contract is up. Idk, its a pretty weak argument.

 

 

*not to be confused with Big Money

I remember how the 2012 Bears loss was edited to look like Cam's pick 6 (Smitty's slip) is what really lost the game for us. Just to continue the Cam can't close and he's not leader bs that they loved to force on ppl.

Let's not forget all the out of context overblown press conferences.  Cam could've done a better job with them, but that poo was so stupid.

 

Hell, even after the playoff game ESPN doctored that conference to make it look like he walked out on the media when asked about the Kap Superman thing when in reality he finished up and the conference was over.

 

I really don't understand why they push that agenda so hard.  Cam is a marketing gold mine if they'd open their fuging eyes and realize it.
