Big enough man to admit when wrong: Cam Newton is impressing me today! Said he wouldn't b ready, but sure looks like he is to me! #fb

a lot of people in the media are eating crow. Now maybe they will give him his just due for his passing, instead of talking about his running ability.

I actually might listen to the Herd tomorrow just to hear him either backpedal or eat crow.

Sorry Kurt, but one tweet isn't going to do it for me. I watched too many smug comments about how Cam just didn't have what it takes to be successful in the league. And this coming from a guy that battled for a long time to get his shot.

He is going to have to eat a lot more crow before I'm satisfied. :boxing_smiley:

I dont think anybody expected him to do that well..

Good job Warner. That takes balls to admit that. I wish half the people who whacked on Newton would do the same but then again only a real man can admit his doing wrong.

I know its only one game but then again what kind of Rookie QB has ever made the kind of numbers in his first NFL game like Cam did?

I didn't watch the postgame show,but i was really wanting to see what bradshaw was going to say!

TAKE IT IN THE FACE...bradshaw... and hodge you can get some too

The guy we saw in preseason three wasn't ready.

Two weeks of prep and practice later though, and the difference is night and day. The coaching staff did a phenomenal job getting him up to speed.

But make no mistake. A much tougher test is coming next week. And there most definitely is still work to do.

As a first step though, I'll take it :)

All he ever said was that he didn't think that Cam was ready yet. That's it. He never badmouthed cam or his skills. What do you want from him. He is paid to give his opinion. If Cam had a bad day today instead, I am sure you were prepared to post an apology to Warner even though you aren't paid for your opinion!

No, he went a lot farther than that, and pretty much ridiculed the whole idea of a "run first QB" being successful in the league.

I admit I am not a big fan of Warner as an analyst. Sometimes it is as though he has forgotten his roots and all the struggles he went through to get his shot. As someone that bucked the odds for his whole career, I expect him to be a bit more open-minded.

But that is water under the bridge and there is no point belaboring it further.

I can't wait to see what Skip Bayless says about Cam. I can kind of guess it will go something like:

"ok, i will admit that Cam Newton did better than I expected. But I tell you (whoevers sitting across from him) this will go down as the great start to a bad career. Yeah he threw 422 yards, and had 3 tds but it was against the Arizona Cardinals, are you kidding me. I promise you if it were The Golden Calf of Bristol the Panthers would have won this game 42-7. I'm giving his performance a D- since he couldn't stop Jeff King, Early Doucet, and Peterson from scoring like The Golden Calf of Bristol could."

Wasn't going to start a new thread for this, but read this tweet by Braylon Edwards.

While I cannot dispute Skip's love for The Golden Calf of Bristol, Bayless is actually a Cam supporter. He has been on record saying he thought he would struggle this season but have a great career.

Last week they were ranking their top 5 QBs and someone jokingly said to Skip, "Cam isn't in your top 5?" Skip paused, got big eyed, and said..."Not YET."

But yeah Skip is an idiot a lot of times.
