As I've said, you guys are going to have to accept that people don't like Newton and are going to go out of their way to tear him down or not give him credit. We've seen it with Grits and it surely isn't limited to him. A lot of people invested themselves emotionally in their disregard for a "cheating, spread" QB, and his success is only going to make their disdain for him grow. People are going to be immature and hate him as long as he is a pro. The people that did not like him in college banked their emotions on his "guaranteed" failure as a pro. He has now kicked them in the balls even harder.

Rejoice in it, though. if they don't hate you, you're doing something wrong. Look at the Pat's last decade.

I hope that's not the case. None of those won a Superbowl.

So the bar u have set for Cam in order for u to considering him ROTY is to win the Superbowl with this team in his rookie year?

Don't know why some of u just don't give it up. It's beginning to look more and more like ur reasons for setting such unrealistic standards for Cam while easily accepting the usual rookie accomplishments from the other athletes, have way more to do with u and less to do with Cam.

I kinda remember this kind of attitude fake high standard being directed towards Cam from a lot of fans whose college football teams he helped Auburn beat. Some of really do have some extremely misguided hate.

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
