Cam Newton talking about his Gun was/is the most accurate things I have ever heard

So back in 2011, Cam was interviewed by Jon Gruden during his QB camp specials on ESPN. 

Gruden made a point to ask Cam straight up about all of the pre/post draft criticism he had been getting by much of the Media. Cam made the analogy that he has a "gun" and that all of that negative criticism he had endured were "bullets" for his gun. His plan was to use that gun to prove his doubters wrong.  And by God, Cam has a big damn gun and is pretty damn accurate with it.  He literally is doing exactly what he said he was going to do; prove his doubters wrong.

My point is this, Cam is very talented and extremely gifted, however he likely would not have been as good of a player as he has become without the scrutiny he endured. In other words, the media created the Cam we all know and love.  I would be willing to bet if he would have been drafted #1 with the same praise Luck/RG3 got, he would be a totally different player and our team wouldn't have endured the same success we have had over the years. 

Watch the interview here:

You realize you just gave the media an "out" now they can say created the Cam we have today, by ignoring him. Not that I disagree at all. But no media should get a pass on the way they treated Cam and the Panthers.

I really don't see how I gave the media an out by what I said. They did everything they could to tear him down and he proved every last one of those dickheads wrong. If anything I am praising the fact the were so wrong and created the monster that is Cam.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
