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.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
