Cam Newton says he let people down with post-Super Bowl news conference

[goodoleboy]

He is growing up before our eyes. I said at the time he would learn from it. Looks like he has and i doubt we will ever see that again.

all I hear these days is how he didn't jump on the ball.  Haters gonna hate.

Didn't disappoint me one bit but I can understand how some people would have thought it was childish.  Cam is a winner that absolutely hates losing.  I think there will always be moments throughout his career like this.  Lets just hope for his and our sake that he wins every single game till his career is over :)

Losing the biggest game in the league was more important than 1 or 100 press conferences where some dickhead is loudly gloating literally right next to the losing team. The Broncos have seemingly gone out of their way to be sore winners in all this, but hey, they are the champs, so it comes with the territory.

I didn't honestly care one bit about how he handled or mishandled the press conference. I want him to hate losing. What's ironic about this is, any Panthers fan who isn't a recent bandwagoner should know full well exactly the kind of culture change this franchise had to go through when Cam came along. Guys were content with losing, mediocrity became almost normal. There is no other way to describe it. Newton's presence was a huge factor in gradually changing this, if you want the wins, you have to take the whole package. Cam is who he is, if you have a problem with him being livid about losing, then you can always go watch Jimmy Clausen play quarterback to your hearts delight. Otherwise, pipe down, and enjoy the ride. It's that simple really.

Im proud of him for coming out with this even though he really didnt let me down.

You didn't let me down, Cam.

Fug the haters!!!

I don't like that he came out and said anything.  Personally, I'd rather him stick to his guns as the Nicest Villan in the NFL.  He's cocky, rubs it in your face a bit, an entertainer/icon type.  The anti-Brady/Manning.  Doesn't like losing.  Those are all endearing to me.  That's MY QB.  He's the best player on the field at all times.

To me, the apology is in a way going back on that persona.  You can't really be both, in my opinion.  The funny thing is that the entire NFL, not limited to the Broncos, have gone out of their way to poo on Cam.  Don't open it up with apologies.  Double down in this case.  Continue to dab in their heads.

As a rational adult, I get why he wanted to do that.  But as a fan, I was OK with him being a sore loser of the Super Bowl.  More fuel for next year.  

Or he could be transitioning his image a bit too. Sometimes, Cam's hard to read (like his posting...OMFG!)

Maybe his parents said something to him to get him to change his stance a little. The people who hate Cam will NEVER like him no matter what. It is what it is.

Also, I can understand Cam's tweets and instagram posts when I read them ON THE FIRST TRY! 

LMAO! JK!

I bet his family wanted him to tow the line a little bit more because Cam does get folks everywhere taking shots at him.  Again, I can understand that.  It would be so much easier to be as loved as Payton Manning was..I mean he practically pooed gold.  How many people spewed the hate at Mannings way?  His image even survived the whole HGH and 90s sex scandle.

Anyone that considers themselves a competitor naturally hates to freaking lose. I can never blame the guy for being angry and pissed off right after that kind of loss. I wouldn't have wanted to speak to the media either until I had sometime to calm down and cool off.
