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

[Mol3m4n]

Get this man on First Take instead of Skip.

I prefer Skip over Stephen A. O_o

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).

Bortles and Gene Smith finished with better completion percentages than Cam. Kyle Orton and Austin Davis had better QB ratings than Cam. If that's not struggling then you have set the bar really low.

Yeah Cam did struggle. But he also had injuries and a bad o-line for a long portion of this season. Completion percentages should not be viewed in a vacuum.

The "media" doesn't hate Cam Newton. The media is a bunch of individuals who call it like they see it. If a media member states that Cam Newton has had mediocre passing stats his entire career ( an objective fact ) that, according to the 'huggers is "hate".

 

It is actually the 'Huggers who hate.

 

They hate Kap...who has finished ahead of Newton in passer rating every season he has been in the league...

They hate Wilson...ditto...and Super Bowl Champion...the knife is twisted...

And they really hate Luck, who threw for 40 TD's and is in the AFC championship game only because he plays in the AFC South, LOL...

 

And get ready for more hate...

 

Because Ryan Tannehill and Teddy Bridgewater have passed Newton as well...

 

Carr, Bortles ???...not yet, but don't be surprised...and Mariotta and Winston arrive next year...

lol at the overreacting drama queens in here talking like our fanbase hates/doesn't appreciate cam.

there is a very noisy but small miniority that feels that way. most think he's awesome.

quit reaching for max effect.

I normally agree with most of your posts but Cam gets trashed on the Huddle all the time. Maybe it's a small minority but they sure make a ton of noise after every game, win or lose and it gets frustrating. I expect to hear the crap on our opponents boards but it would be nice to enjoy a win without a Panther Fans derping on a couple overthrown passes.

As for the drama queen comment, I'd say that applies to your post as much as it does everyone else's. Maybe you are not as frustrated by the Cam detractors, but who elected you the sole judge of how other fans may feel? Seems like you're either seeking attention or simply want to make yourself feel superior. I hope you got what you're looking for. Sheesh.

Please just stop today. You're just making yourself look worse. Come back tomorrow when you aren't drinking at 2 p.m.

because..........after they crucified him before the draft,  and labeled him a bust.. he has basically spit in their collective faces when he wasn't a bust.

 

 

Exactly. The ones that knocked Cam before the draft, hoped he would fail, so they could pound their chest and say i told you so.

 

Since he has exceded their expections, they want to still trash him,attempting to preserve their own large ego and frail image..

[Zaximus]

I'm not going to go into it, but we know the REAL reason a lot of media and fans don't dig Cam.  They have preconcieved notions of how a QB should be in the NFL and he's not it.

[CarolinaSock]

Yeah Cam did struggle. But he also had injuries and a bad o-line for a long portion of this season. Completion percentages should not be viewed in a vacuum.

The person I quoted said he didn't struggle, why I pointed those numbers out. Vacuum or not, Cam was in the bottom half of the league in nearly every qb measure there is. Blame the line, blame the receivers like always, Cam was not good this year. He did not have the worst pass blocking line this year, 7th worst according to pff and very close to the ratings of Seattle and Atlanta. Even including all those supposed drops by our wideouts he finished ahead of only Hoyer in accuracy %. Use injuries as an excuse fine, should he have been playing if they affected him that much? Cam is not the only qb with a bad offensive line and average at best receivers. I don't recall seeing anyone bring up Moose's comments from earlier this week. He feels the first thing that needs to improve is Cam's game to take the next step as a team. He wasn't blaming the weapons, whom he feels were adequate but could be improved. Moose starts around 51:00.

The guy in the video was completely spot on. We need to send that sht to ESPN. I personally hope Cam stays his confident self and showboats his way to a super bowl with us next year. Then rub it in everyone's fuggin face.

TonyN is a parody account?

 

Right?

 

Gotta be... that's the ONLY rational explanation for the hilarity above.

I almost fell over when he said that.  Loved it.

What are you talking about?  Toothpick Teddy has passed Cam!!!  His 500+ less total yards, 5 less TDs, noodle arm, and spotty accuracy are certainly more impressive than what Cam did after ankle surgery, broken ribs, and two broken vertebra. 

[teeray]

Cam Newton's completion percentage this year is identical to Andrew Luck's CAREER completion percentage.

I don't think anyone thinks he has struggled
