Re-visting a "Cam will bust" article

This is simply amusing to read now, especially in hindsight, to realize how wrong people can really be. I never saw this article before the draft, but after reading it I literally lol'ed.

I think we should hold this guy to it:

Cam Newton is a sure-fire bust. I am so certain of this that if he is the Panthers' starting quarterback in 2016, I will buy a Cam Newton jersey and stand in the stadium parking lot in my underwear when the Panthers come to Tampa Bay and hold a sign proclaiming that Auburn rules over Florida and Carolina rules over Tampa Bay.

Also, this was my favorite line:

In five years, when The Golden Calf of Bristol is leading Denver into the playoffs and Cam Newton is riding someone's bench, remember this article.

Okay....

He's only led his team to 2 wins so how has he not proven to be a bust? Get this dreadful team to 0.500 then we can talk.

Besides his very first game as a pro, the combined records of the team's Cam Newton and the Panthers lost to:

20-8.

Of those teams, two have won the Superbowl in the past two years, one was in the NFC Championship last year, and the other was 13-3 and won their division. Dreadful team??? The schedule has been BRUTAL...A bunch of close losses to playoff experienced, veteran teams. What else could you ask of a rookie? He gave the extremely young Panthers a chance to win every game but in the end, experience won.

Have you watched a single game this year?

I'm prepared to switch my allegiance to whatever team most resembles Reeses Cups.

Congrats. You are now a Raiders fan :eek:

Cowboys had baby Ruth with this tagline.

Like the Cowboys’ fanbase, it serves classic tastes, but it’s mostly made up of nuts.

Jets were Jawbreakers with this...

You get a lock of mouth crackling for not a lot of payoff.

    • More TDs last year in less games (double the TDs) and more yards per game. Those are some tough stats to brush aside. Career stats are good but we are wanting the player for what they are currently. DK had some drop issues too. 
    • I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.
    • That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.
