Cam Gains Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews' Respect

[ammofan]

Cam Newton is an extremely special player. I saw this last year at Auburn....the guy just has something that other people dont. We have NEVER seen a football player like this in the NFL. He's the LeBron James of the NFL in many ways.....except the big difference is that he's a WINNER and he will win alot of games in Charlotte beginning next week v. Jax.

Cam Gains Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews' Respect

That and about $4 will get you a descent sized cup of coffee at Starbucks! You know what would really earn not only THEIR respect but the rest of the NFL's as well? Beating their @ss!

For a rookie QB playing in his 2nd NFL game and being asked to carry the entire team on his shoulders without a running game, havnig to pass for something like 45 times, against the defending Super Bowl Champions - yeah, he played really well - better than I expected he would at the end of pre-season. At times he is extremely poised and looks like he has been playing for years. Other times he makes the mistakes that remind us he is a rookie. Even in those moments he demonstrates his potential.

I am glad Rodgers and Mathews are impressed, but I would rather they be in awe after having suffered a loss.
