PHOTOS - Cam Newton crashes Roaring Riot party

Recommended Posts

Cam Newton, his parents, Derek Anderson, and Joe Webb surprised the Roaring Riot crowd at our holiday party last night.

He gave a (funny) speech saying how much he and the Panthers appreciate the Roaring Riots support and influence on the growth of the fanbase. Said how the team used to have to "spot Panther fans" at away games. 

Jeremy has a video here

 

He very graciously went around the whole place, saying whats up to everyone he could, taking selfies with them, and signing autographs. He found Braylon obviously, who didn't know Cam was coming, and gave him his Santa hat and fox tail, much to Braylons excitement.

He picked up the tab too.

Really cool of all of them to stop by - everyone loved it.

 

Here's some not-so-great photos.

You know that all of us out-of-town Rioters are insanely jealous, right?

(and also proud that the in-town Rioters righteously represented)

I hope you see this as the door opening to many more opportunities with Cam and not just a one time event you missed out on. Because it is just the beginning  ;)

He really loves the fans, and loves playing here.

Could you, in a million years, ever imagine Brady or Manning doing anything like this?

Hearing all the locker room talk, the interviews, etc.... you know that this year's team is special. It's laying the groundwork for future seasons where Carolina is where other players WANT to come to play, to be a part of the team/the city. Where they will willingly take appropriate contract adjustments in order to stay here. Play their entire careers here.

Winning begets more winning.  Positive attitudes begets more positivity.

Players in the draft already have their NFL dream made... but how many are *wishing* to play for the Falcons (or insert other dreadful team's name here)?   To have an opportunity to play with Cam, with Luke, for Ron (and the rest of the team...)..... I could go on.

Cam is setting the perfect example of what it means to give back to the fans, and the fanbase is giving it back to the team in dividends.  And the rest of the team is following.  

That's what a true leader does. Yesterday cemented that - give that man the MVP already.

This is so awesome!  I wish I could stay up past 8pm most night lol!

Man, this really shows just how special a person Cam is.  He has completely embraced his role not only as a starting NFL QB, but as a shining beacon of awesomeness.  

Man, I'm so GLAD we drafted Cam...how many of us were on the fence...LOL =)

What I love about Cam is he doesn't do stuff like that for the money/attention/media exposure etc etc, he does it because he genuinely wants to be there. You hear in other cases about the big divide between athletes and the general public, I dont think anyone does more to be more accessible than Cam. The ultimate irony of "Tennessee Mom" bashing him for not being a role model is that really, Cam Newton is the absolute role model in quite possibly all of sports, he's certainly up there anyway at the moment.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
