Falcons LB De'Vondre Campbell Says Cam Newton 'Sulking Attitude' Is The Reason Panthers Were 6-10 Last Year

If Matt Ryan did the same thing as Cam did last year (not taking the stand etc.) the huddle would be all over it.

Want to know how I feel when a person (*any* person) tells the media to fug the hell off?

Happiness.

I feel happiness.

And I would feel that even if it was Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Ca'ssandra Campbell, or Cam Newton.

But you keep reaping that Atlanta fan pie.

While y'all are laughing at Campbell, he's licking his chops at the thought of facing Wonder Woman masquerading as The Incredible Sulk for the second year in a row.
Anyone who's ever coached can tell you that an even keel is a crucial thing for any person in a leadership position. WW simply doesn't have it. Anderson does.

Another day. Another hot take without merit or basis.

This time, today's hot take comes from an overly sensitized "hype" article founding its claims on emotion. Falcons LB De'Vondre Campbell comes in to give his opinion on the state of the Falcons, and decides to give a lazy description of why the Panthers faltered last season:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2724963-atlanta-falcons-super-bowl-loss-interviews-season-preview-2017

Another lazy response and take that has been exposed and countered time after time. Cam Newton's the last reason the Panthers didn't do too well, and it's a well known fact that we only lost 6 out of 10 games by 3 points or less with a large lead in the 4th quarter. Add the fact we had injuries everywhere + WRs performing horribly, and what else could you expect.

However, Campbell still has no right to call out Cam Newton over how he handled Superbowl 50 when you see what Matt Ryan did after Superbowl 51.

For all the flack Cam Newton gets about walking out of a presser and not handling the loss like your typical NFL robot, he never blamed anyone else for the loss. At all. Even when Shula kept repeating the same tired playcalls that are fooling no one, even when his wide receivers couldn't catch a cold, even when Remmers was placed on an island against the NFL's best pass rusher, Cam Newton doesn't blame anyone at all.

No matter what, Cam Newton takes all the blame on himself and doesn't bring anyone down.

For Matt Ryan, it's quite the opposite. When he commented on his Superbowl 51 loss, he didn't point to his own mistakes or take all the blame on himself. Rather than being the big man and owning their loss, he deflects and blames someone else for their loss:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2722903-matt-ryan-says-kyle-shanahan-took-too-much-time-calling-plays-in-super-bowl

Matt Ryan chooses to not own up the loss and blame someone else instead. Ironically, he chooses the same OC that gave him the easiest QB system in the league. 

In fact, Matt Ryan could've saved the game himself in plenty of ways. On the same drive he blames "Shanahan" for, he had a couple of opportunities to save the game himself.

In Matt Ryan's opinion, the playcall took too long. However, if he really objected to the play, Ryan should've called a time-out to talk it over and present his case. By not calling time-out and going through with the play, Matt Ryan essentially goes along with Shanahan and plays a role in it being a failure when he could've done something about it.

Just one example of many.

Cam Newton owns up his mistakes and seeks to learn from it, and his 2016 performance is no exception. With brand new weapons and a new identity, the Panthers look ready to bounce back under the leadership of a true QB, while the Falcons look to make excuses for a blown 28-3 lead with a QB who doesn't even know how to blame himself.

So always remember: The Falcons Blew A 25 Point Lead In The Superbowl

Image result for 28-3 falcons

 

ESPN actually has a decent set of statistics giving expected win totals for a season. We had several wins in 2015 by less than a TD. In 2016, we regressed to the mean by losing probably half of our games decided by a TD or less. 

This is the same reason both the Texans and Raiders are more likely than not to regress in win total this coming season. Both were extraordinary last season in close games, yet history has shown that isn't sustainable way to win from season to season.

When it comes down to it this place is full of contradiction and it's because you guys take everything as if you personally know Cam. It's sad. Stop.

Exactly ..
