Cam Newton knows what he wants to hear when the 2011 NFL Draft begins Thursday night in New York. His name.

"I want to go number one," the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback told Deion Sanders in an interview that will be shown as part of NFL Network predraft coverage Thursday. "I mean, I ain't gonna sit up here and lie to you."

People who've seen my posts over the past 7 years know I put a premium on athletes who play with a "chip on their shoulder". Barry Bonds, Steve Smith, Vince Young, Tom Brady, LeBron James, etc. I feel that Cam has that quality and it will make him an exciting player for us.

Looking forward to watching this segment tonight.

Keep saying over and over like Kobe his confidence/will to win is portrayed as being cocky/arrogant I see no problem with it. It's something I want a leader to have rather than just wanting to settle for average and not believing in himself.

To me that shows he isn't the guy. The true greats are motivated without any extra help. This kid needs to prove people wrong to get motivated? Pass on him

LOL, Cam Newton could cure cancer and you'd find a way to knock him for it.

Highlandfire: "Well, why didn't he cure it sooner?"

JaMarcus Russell said the same type of things.

Saying you want to be great and actually going out and doing what it takes are two things.

This is not a debate about whether Cam will or will not be great.....just that a player saying these things in beyond meaningless.

There was this guy named Michael Jordan. He was an o.k. basketball player. He used negative things people said to motivate him. When they stopped saying negative things he made them up.

yeah, who would want a Tom Brady or Steve Smith motivating themselves b/c of their experiences of people not believing in them. good point.

Russell was never great prior to the pros. The proof is in the pudding. Cam has been great.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
