Newton to be introduced @1230

[Panthers128]

When you are working at your dead end job do people call your father a POS on national television??? Do people tell the world you are a phony even though they have never met you?? Do you have 15,000,000 people sitting around your desk judging every move, smile, smirk, or unflattering moment??

I you take a job and struggle do you have 65,000 people booing you?? Do you have all the sports radio stations taking calls from strangers calling you a bum??

Does your dead end job make you feel you have the fate of the entire city of Charlotte resting on your shoulders while the majority of people around the country are hoping that you fail???

No stress. :) We all know, money makes you impervious to feelings and stress.

Guess it depends on if you work to please other people or if you work for yourself. I don't see how any of those things would be of any substance. You can only do your best. Hopefully coaches would train players to ignore all of that nonsense.

I don't think Jamarcus Russell is crying anywhere about letting Oakland down or the people who make fun of him. He's probably buying nice things and enjoying life.

I can assure you Jamarcus Russell is not happy with his life. That is why he is battling depression and drug addiction.

In a lot of ways Jamarcus Russell failed because of the stress and pressure of being a #1 pick.

How many rich people have committed suicide?? A lot. Dentists get paid well and have the highest suicide rate of any occupation (or at least they used to)

[Awesomeness!!]

I'm sorry but the J Russ comparisons have been beyond stupid imo. J Russ is a dumbass fatass lazy slob. Cam, if all else fails can at least extend plays, like Ben Big. HE has a huge body, so he will be hard to bring down. If he can keep his eyes down field, and pass first, run second, he will be great. The only thing about J Russ was his huge arm, and of course, he was a fatass like Big Ben, the only difference was, he was Offensive live fat, not buff fat. There is a 0% chance Cam flames out like that guy..

[panthersfan#2]

Cam is NOTHING like JaMarcus Russell. JaMarcus was a dumbass and was lazy and screwing around with prescription painkillers.

Cam is a bit like Vince Young running the ball with Ben Roethlisberger's arm. Cam is faster and much quicker than Vince Young though. He's elusive running the ball. He's faster than some running backs. He runs a 4.5 second 40 yard dash. Once he's in the open field he runs like a big wide receiver ... like Brandon Marshall with the Dolphins.

I liked him from the beginning. Though I initially wanted Fairley, Newton sold me. This just solidfies my opinion and #1 pick. 21 Years old and knows he has to pu the work in. Whether he succeeds or fails you cannot fault his desire to be the best.

What more can you ask for?
