Think Cam will keep a level head?

[Mother Grabber]

Losing the game helps keep everything in check. It's hard to feel good, no matter your individual performance, if you lose.

[Jai.]

I don't see that being a problem, the guy just want's to win, im so excited going forward. Will there be bumps in the road, of course, but those are to be expected!

[bleys]

was this a serious question?

[chknwing]

yeah because he didnt keep a level head when he won the title game or when he was draft #1 over all.

was this a serious question?

The whole "entertainer/icon" flap was probably the genesis of this piece.

Given recent events though, I'd probably worry more about Mark Sanchez in the "level head' department than I would Newton.

i think whitlock has to make more accurate points than "educated guesses" for me to take him more seriously.

"There was absolutely no pressure on Cam Newton on Sunday. No one cared about the Panthers-Cardinals game. "

do these writers intentionally spout reckless garbage in attempt to get people to mention their name?

[King Taharqa]

Jason Whitlock sucks.

Cecil Newton has done a fine job keeping Cam level headed thru out all his success,struggles, and constant character attacks from the media. Cecil has raised a fine young man who is both intelligent and very tough. We in Pantherland are very lucky to have him as our QB.

honestly after one single game I think wondering if Cam can handle the hype is a bit... ehm, premature. the guy has handled things way bigger than having a great rookie debut, and handled them well.

next week we'll get to see how Cam handles his first loss in some time, and see if he can bounce back.

edit: also I can't help but find myself agreeing with KT here... Cam does seem to have been raised pretty well. No doubt the stardom could get to him a little bit, like it does nearly everyone, but I think his head is in the right place.

What on god's green earth is this. If I saw mark sanchez on the street in this get up I would round house kick his face.

[PntherPryd]

I think the pressure is all on the media, not Cam.

The pressure is on the media to treat the Panthers as a relevant NFL franchise. It is something that they haven't had to deal with in 6-7 years.

Look up "Mark Sanchez GQ".

Aaron Rodgers made fun of him for it.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

The media will continue to take every possible jab at Cam they can, while Mr. Newton will continue to write his own story and let his play do the talking.

Teams tend to take on the personality of their head coach.

With that in mind, I expect Newton to become a stoic, grumpy, angry-faced perfectionist for whom nothing is ever good enough.

Nice. I love Rivera. In a few short months he has become my favorite NFL coach by far. Extremely happy he is the Panthers head coach and the exact type of guy you want coaching a guy like Cam that is going to get the attention Cam will as he progresses in the NFL.

On a side note, Chizik was a perfect coach for him last year also. Chiz is not big for hyperbole and kept the team humble and focused all year. I expect Cam's demeanor to stay the same. Cam is Cam. Extraordinarily confident but with the fear of failure that often drives the great ones.

[Clicheking]

Lmao at there was no pressure for him in the Arizona game...Yea because being a rookie in your first game on the road in the NFL with the whole world rooting for you to fall is no pressure

Cam will be fine. He is a level headed as they come and he knows one game doesn't make an NFL career.
