Rookie QB Cam Newton will join WR Steve Smith at his football camp this Thursday and Friday at Ardrey Kell High School. Smith runs the annual camp with about 250 boys and girls participating. Smith will be working with Partners for Parks to provide scholarships for disadvantaged youth.

Yep, this guy sure is an a-hole talk about being an egomaniac. :rolleyes:

Personally my take is , as long as you don't pull a carruth , you can be as big a dick as you want, no legal trouble , be the biggest jackass known to man .. Produce on the field and im a fan of yours .. that is all. However I like that he's making this effort to get involved .. if he can do this and produce like we expect , I may forget all about the Auburn foolishness and become a fan.

Edit: I don't mean the scandal , I mean the constant War Eagle chants I had to hear on a daily basis from people in south GEORGIA ... who know nothing of football.

Cam seems to thoroughly enjoy working with kids. He mentored kids at an Auburn elementary school for months last year and he told Jay Leno he hopes one day after the NFL to own a day care center.

I would like to see the Panther organization get behind him and help sponsor a ticket program like "Cadillac's Kids" in Tampa Bay.

I will be the first one to admit, Cam has been completely opposite of what I was expecting thus far. It scared the heck out of me to see what he was going to be like with $50 million. I guess time will tell, but he is doing all the right things. Guy must not sleep.

Good for him. I am so glad that so far, Cam has turned out to be the complete opposite of what all of the haters thought about him at first, myself included.

i didn't want to draft him but I didn't have any doubts about his character other than the difficulties of transitioning into the NFL that most rookies face.

That one report about his fake smile was so over the top there's no way it would be true. It was more just how he threw the ball non-nonchalantly with such ease, it's going to take some serious coaching.

Agree 100%.

Cam has definitely impressed me so far with his attitude, work ethic, and personality.

Let's jsut hope it all comes together and translates to huge success on the field.

I don't think even Cam supporters were expecting him to be like this. He reminds me so much of Tiger Woods with his smile and the way he deals with the media. Let's hope it translates on the field.

Hope is is much better than Tiger.

Tiger's "choir boy" demeanor was a complete fake.

It was, but he is still one of the most polarizing figures in sports. I think Cam has that potential if he can win some games on the field. He just has the "look."

This is exactly how I felt with Cam at first but seeing him strive to be great has really turned me around on him.

I think Cam will be a good football player even if he were to never reach that level of "elite".

He's worked too hard to show he will not be a jawalrus type of player. If he gains the respect of the vets, learns the system to a t, and has a ok season next year woah daddy this could be a fun decade.

On the artilce if I remember right the author is a Bama grad so he probably would have written this way about Gandhi if he went to Auburn

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
