Whats up with Cam's Press Conference?

[Khaki Lackey]

I heard that he was mad because we suck and that when his contact was up, he planned on taking his talents elsewhere. He was also mad because JR told him we weren't going to get all black uniforms.

Look, I love Newton, great player, young kid.

He has to learn that he is the face of the franchise.

...and it would probably be good if Marty or the PR group rehearsed him a bit on controlling his facial expressions so he doesn't like the Grinch in 'How the Grinch stole Christmas.'

I swear I expected him to say 'I hate the Whos' in Whoville'

Again, he's a young man but he is the face of the franchise. People listen to what he says and how he says it...happens when a person is an entertainer, an icon, and a would be Superman.

So buck-up our little $25 million buck-a-roo and put on a happy face for your 5 mins with the media who at least in Charlotte, gives you such good press....be glad you don't live in NYC.

As he matures he will get wiser with his actions and answers.

[Catweisers]

Thought his press conference was right on time. No way could u be happy at 2 and 6 and he was watching film of our games. Bet he wasn't trying to critique the defense but looking at how to make himself better. Think Mr Newton has a firm grasp of where he is and where he wants to go! He don't mind the work in between.

[Montsta]

Cam is all smiles during warmups on game day, which is what I care about. Besides, if you had to answer questions from Joe friggin Person every day you'd be looking exhausted too.

[Woodcookedbbq]

He's tired of them asking stupid, repetitive, and redundant questions.

[Actionman0z]

The second question is, why is he always doing press conferences? Nobody else has ever done this.

...That's "little $22 million buck-a-roo" good sir.

[Crixtala]

never understood why so many people cared about how someone handled a press conference... pretty sure they have nothing to do with winning games on sunday

[Chaos]

These pressers are awkward and uncomfortable to watch. He is fulfilling an obligation, but you can tell it's the last thing he wants to do.

The local sports media sucks, and I'm sure the questions are redundant and moronic as previously stated, but why bother even uploading them to Panthers.com. They're depressing to watch.

[Killa Cam 69]

I dont see the big deal..

[rainwater]

Wow. Have you guys ever watched Cam's Wednesday press conferences? They are all the same. He is always extremely focused and tired looking. It is probably because Wednesday is their toughest day of practice during the week. But we probably need about 5 more pages on this thread of over analyze it.

[Razzy]

Frankly, I like that Cam doesn't show off for the media. That might change when we're winning, but it's clear he's getting sick of answering the same questions over and over. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a soundbite worthy blowup at a member of the press later in the season if we don't start getting wins.

[weymouthst]

There is not much more Cam needs to say at this point. We know he has the skills, we know the Panthers have talent and can be potent on offense. The problem is defense, special teams, and all-around solid coaching and game management.

Cam can't speak to a lot of those things. He knows his role, to be a leader and weapon on offense. It's good that he talks to the media, but he doesn't have too much to work with given the current situation.
