Maturity is an issue here. Sorry, he's great on the field when he's great, but when it falls apart it literally takes a car accident to get him to really step up and be a leader.

He sailed a ton of passes today and lost a nail biter at the end. A good leader comes out and says "We came so close and I'm proud of my teammates coming back out after the half and busting their asses to try and win this game."

But instead of sitting there for a few minutes and figuring out how to be a leader to team and fans alike, he spent all of his time readying for the next GQ shoot. I know I harp on this a lot, but dang, win some games and you can dress like Pikachu for all I care. Keep losing and this "Icon" and "Chosen One" crap wears thin pretty fast.

 

I understand your point, I disagree though. None of this are reasons for us losing. Wins is what matters and how to get them. Not this extra poo. Not even your comment about what he should say is going to help us win. You can stand there talk talk and talk and it doesn't mean poo if you're not winning games. Frankly, I think Cam is tired of talking. Even Greg Olsen said he's tired of saying the same thing after each loss

Quit wearing dumb hats after you lose tho

Newton is the least of Carolina's problems.  He battled back today with quite possibly the worst set of offensive tackles in the league.

Ron Rivera and Gettleman need to answer for this defensive monstrosity, along with the putrid tackles, not Newton.

As far as Newton, if the Panthers owner and the Panthers PR Dept, and his coach allows the behavior to continue because 'that's who he is' then that is on them.

i am almost as tired of the press conferences, the critique of his press conferences and his satorial splendor as I am of the presidential election.

Fellows, if after a loss we can't criticize Cam then it's going to be a long season here. Is he the only one off limits or is there another guy that under no circumstances we can criticize, too?

I'm just trying to figure out how not to get your panties in a wad.

People will blast him as a poor sportsman but then Bill Belichek gets a pass when he treats the media like that because he's Bill

Everyone goves Bill poo for doing that too

 

But this is typical blogger click bait. Modern media is irritating

1. The media has trashed Cam since the beginning. 

2. The media is fracking irrelevant at this point. 

3. Every single player and coach give the same canned statements, so again who cares. 

4. I like that he is pissed at a loss, does he need to handle it better? Probably, but there is no way anyone can say he is not giving his all.

5. Since the media will not defend him from getting cheap shots, why should he help them?

6. Frack these useless media people and there retread (read retard) questions.

I watched the press conference and I'm not seeing what a lot of people on here are saying about him asking if there were anymore questions and walking out. He answered a dumb rhetorical question with "next question" and then walked out while someone was asking another, so yes, he did in fact walk out of the press conference. 

And the people trying to race bait this when they compare it to Pops or Bill Belichick are doing this thing no favors because there's another huge difference between Cam and those two: Cam wears his emotions on his sleeve at all times, those two give the same dry boring press conferences regardless of wins or losses. 

Having said that, I don't think this is a big deal, but the media will make it a big deal because they love to pile on when things go bad. At some point people are going to realize Cam is Cam and that's who he is and what he does.

Don't blame him. Didn't watch the video so I don't know the types of questions he was getting, but a lot of media people are professional trolls. They need content. They need reaction. It's why it's hard for me to criticize belicheat for the unbearable pressers in which he gives one word answers.

Negativity sells. Making snarky, condescending remarks on twitter also gets the media folks clicks.

They can't wait to parade the emotional players out after a loss and shove a camera in their face. 

They need to do the same for officials. There was certainly some questionable calls that favored the home team. They need to be accountable as well.

So many "we have to find ways to win football games" that you can say. Sounding like a broken record. Its frustrating. I agree with Ron answering for the defense. What's even more irritating is the fact that they tried to bait him into that and now they're mad because he didn't fall for it. 

Im sure Cam or no one in this organization lost sleep over the press conference yesterday. No one but the media. I'm over it too honestly. 

[SportsCrazie4172]

Its amazing how people have selected hearing..

He walks away from Podium but ASKS the media in the background "Is that it"..that is not walking out of a press conference...

I get so tired of seeing "Fans" post about how Cam should act and then give passes to the Pops and Belicheck because "they do it all the time"..GTFOH..

Cam is on record saying he don't like losing and anyone looking at that video can see the media was trying to get him to throw someone under the bus but yall don't applaud that, no you want to b*tch about that he didn't answer questions to add drama for the locker room..

David Newton would be proud of some of yall ..

The media are a pack of ghouls that would eat their own young for a hot take that gave them "clicks".

Pardon me if I don't fall onto the fainting couch when ANYONE doesn't properly genuflect as required in front of the God Almighty Media.
