Cam Newton wouldn't trade MVP Award for Super Bowl Ring


Recommended Posts

Objectively speaking, MVP is a much, much greater accomplishment than winning the super bowl.  Only 11 players in history have won multiple MVPs.  Many, many, many more have won multiple super bowls.  To be the absolute best player in the league is an individual accomplishment only one guy can achieve each year.  Winning the superbowl is something 53 guys each year get to achieve.

Winning MVP isn't really an individual award in reality.  Cam doesn't sniff that award without the 2015 Panthers D doing the work they did. 

Cam completely 59% of his passes that year and was 16th in passing yards...leading what wasn't technically a top 10 offense given they are ranked by yardage.  And at the time, he was logging his worst yards per carry since arriving into the league. 

The team did have a lot of TDs.  A massive part of why they had a lot of TDs was the defense ***No defense in the last 10 years has had more takeaways than that unit

Now, I'm not really trying to poop on Cam by saying that.  I just don't think individual awards in the ultimate team sport carry the weight some give them.

You can weight things the other way as well.  They had one of the least talented offenses in the league that season with complete cast offs to throw the ball to.

True but it wasn’t like he put up some one in a decade type season for his MVP….

the D did something unique

    • That works for me too.  I just felt like not enough have converted to Bluesky and that was why he was "forced" to use X.
    • I know every jersey thread goes in this direction, but I feel the need to say it.  The Chinese knockoffs are not your friend. Not only does the money not go to the panthers, but you don't control where it does go. The athletic did an excellent podcast on the business of counterfeit shirts not too long ago. I could care less about the legality of it, but the morality of it is no bueno. Now I need to wash off the "defends billionaire class" off myself, but like don't give your money to those people. If you can't afford a jersey, just go to ebay, or a thrift store, or wear a t shirt. 
    • A friend of mine, Chip, was taking an exam in a business course that he had failed twice before.  He would have to drop out of his major if he failed it for a third time--he claimed the professor, Dr. Brown, despised him, and several others who had Dr. Brown's class with Chip confirmed that Dr. Brown's hatred for Chip was obvious.  Before the exam, Chip was up all night cramming, confiding to his roommate Jeff how nervous he was.  Jeff was understanding and listened carefully.  During the exam (an evening course) Jeff was at work delivering flowers for a local florist.  As Chip describes it, a woman (another student who worked with Jeff) entered the classroom with flowers and a card with the words "Dr. Brown" written on the card.  The professor immediately sent the girl out; Jeff was watching from the hallway.  She left the flowers on his desk and scampered out.  Chip laughed because he thought the professor, a man he hated, was being pranked.  A few minutes later, the professor opened the envelope, and read the card.  Chip was still laughing.  He walked toward the students, still taking a timed test, and stopped at Chip's desk, staring at him.  Chip stopped laughing.  He dropped the card on Chip's desk while snarling at him silently.  Chip read the card, "Dr. Brown.  I can't tell you how much I have grown under the three semesters of your tutelage and guidance.  You are my role model.  I will miss you." --Chip Fxxxxx.  Chip made a C.
