Why does NFL media hate Cam Newton? (Bear fans take on Cam.)

My advice to Cam, you don't need white people to like you and pet you. The respect and adulation from your peers is what will sustain you until death. Brown nosers like Wilson will always learn their lesson in the most embarrassing way possible.

3. I said it earlier I think in preseason, and I got alot of crap for it (and probably will again, but thats ok) that Cam is not the star of this team. Sure, he is the QB and the one that gets most of the attention, but star in terms of performance he is not. That honor goes to 59 and honorable mention to 58.. I really hate how this guys talks about what the TEAM has done last season and this season, and uses it to justify his position about Cam, and completely forgets the fact that our success last year and for the most part this year as well as a TEAM came from the defense...not Cam. Of course Cam played a major role, but I will keep repeating this is a TEAM. To go even further, based on the last two seasons, I would say that if our defense had not played as well as it has over the last few seasons...NOONE would be talking about Cam because we wouldn't have been relevant anyway.

You missed the whole point. Smh. Do I/we need to spell it out for you? He's not saying that Cam is the greatest of all time. He's saying that Cam isn't judged fairly or given the same free passes that the Luck, Wilson and Kaepernicks of the world get. He's not even saying that Cam is better than all of them except for Kaepernick. He's saying that when it comes to assessing Cam Newton there is an unfair bias against him by the media. This video had nothing to do with the Panthers defense that you mentioned. I Don't know why you felt the need to mention that? He's not even assessing the Panthers team or defense which obviously is pretty good. Everything he said was truth.

I don't understand the national media's extreme take towards Cam either. Except Deon Sanders & Michael Irvin & Phil Simms. Most hate from ESPN & I watch only MNF on that station. I think it's because he doesn't fit into any of their pre-constructed peg holes of any shape. He is his own person and always will be and is good at what he does. And that rubs some wrong.

 

It was that way with Aaron Rodgers at first too. He also doesn't fit into any of their pre-constructed peg holes. Over the years and a couple of Super Bowls later, he's now a HOF'er to the media but they still do not talk about him much. And if you're old enough, it was that way with Montana and Staubach and even Elway some.

 

There will always be media people in sports that dislike the guy in their sport who they can't categorize, who they think shines despite himself instead of because of what he does. It's a good thing none of those cover international soccer, they'd all be on Prozac lol.

He's a warrior. A gutsy performance for all-time. No help from his defense. etc etc

Yep, his calf hurts. Poor guy, he did all he could but his teammates didn't step up for him.

can we finally just get cam some damn weapons so we can end this whole debate.

Find a competent WR opposite of KB, pick up a stud LT ... them along with greg olsen and STEW and we finally have the offensive weapons needed for cam to be successful.

If he still struggles, then a lot of the media's hatred towards CAM might just be justified.

Except that he hasn't struggled (ref "still struggles"). His resume and skill set are greater to or equal to any 25 year old in the history of team sports. When he gets these things (and is there any doubt with GMan?), he will be the GOAT and the media will be the GIMP (Pulp Fiction reference).
