Cam gets defensive in an interview

[Highlandfire]

During the interview/presser on NFL network, one reporter asked Cam about the stolen computer, 4 counts of cheating at UF, and STEALING FROM TEAMMATES' LOCKERS. Cam did not deny any of the comments, only saying that he is focused on the future. I had not heard of the locker thefts before the comment.

If this comes out as verified, I don't know of many teams that will want him. You want your veterans wondering if this kid is gonna steal from them?

He didn't confirm any of it either, yet you're assuming that he's admitting guilt.

All he needs to do is answer those questions in the private interviews. He owes nothing to the NFL Newtwork, ESPN, or any of us, because we're not the one's investing our money in him.

That's where you're dead wrong, fans spend countless dollars on their teams, jerseys and numerous other items.

I assumed he admitted guilt? No, you assumed what I assumed. Find my words that tell you that. If reading and interpreting is difficult, how can you trust your ability to verify the character of someone you never met? He didn't deny such a specific allegation and referred to his mistakes as a whole. I would be willing to bet that the reporter knew something to have such a specific question, and that is why I asked. I don't have any details, nor do people who are still defending his every action. You can bet teams will ask him for a specific response and will not accept a refusal to acknowledge specifics questions. He wants people to invest millions in him, he better lay it on the table.

I am just trying to find out more information because it was something I had not heard. Nobody accused him of anything Again.

Are the huggers switching from a "conspiracy theory" approach to an "It is none of your business" approach? Oh, by the way, if you are a PSL owner, you are invested in the players we choose.

Keep in mind he has pointed to that year as the turning point in his life. he admits to making mistakes at Florida and claims he has decided to better his life because of them.

Wasn't his press conference it was his "private" team interview.

I will only say two things and then let the anti-Cam guys have fun with this.

Without context this is hard to take seriously.

Let me ask you this. How many times has your wife accused you of being defensive when you really weren't?? Happens to me almost every day.

Without context hard to know what to make of this report.

The second thing is whoever the "source" is, is an a-hole. If you were in the room you do not take this to the press without an agenda IMO. Otherwise what is the sources motivation?? He would have none except to hurt Cam.

We have been talking a lot about smoke screens lately. How do we not know that this was the Cardinals trying to manipulate the draft to get Cam to slide to 5??? Why not?? Who knows??

Take this with a grain of salt would be my advice.

Thank you..... and another great post by Teeray.

Not sure what to make of this, if it was true then it would make me sour on Cam quite a bit... but I'm weary of stuff like this around combine/draft time, could just as easily be someone trying to scare other teams away from drafting him.

Seeeeees! I told yous guys he was teh suck.

Winning puts butts in the seat, people wouldn't show up to see Cam ride the pine for 2-3 years while he learns to play QB in the NFL.

Give me someone who has a chance of starting day one.

Just how exactly do you figure Cam would "ride the pine for 2-3 years"? Is Jimmy Clausen/Tony Pike/Matt Moore going to beat him out in training camp year after year?

At this point Clausen would benefit the same if not more than Newton by sitting on the bench behind him. There are no FA QBs that are going to be able to keep up with the high octane offenses of the NFC South and NFC.

Cam Newton would dwarf Clausen in OTAs and TC and very well could be starting from day one. Imagine Jimmy being able to pick up chunks of yardage outside the pocket when his line broke down last year? Cam has more than an arm he can move the chains with (and I'm not even sure Clausen has an arm).

If this makes you sour on Cam then then the source achieved his agenda..this sounds like something Mike Shanahan would do..wonder if there was a lie detector test involved.

Vet FA is how.

Cam can't take a snap from under center yet, Moore and Clausen are significantly ahead of Cam, like it or not.
