Mayock hits all the Huddle sore spots; Luck vs. Newton, AJ, and Coples

The offseason isn't over. We don't know FOR A FACT that Cam will CONTINUE to work hard throughout the offseason. Any way you wanna slice it, the offseason has yet to end, and you cannot see into the future. I don't doubt that Cam will continue to work hard throughout the season, but that is still NOT A FACT. Learn the difference between fact and prediction. They're two different things.

and again why dont you know that when history says that he will. history are facts.dont be a tough guy on the net bro

but you can predict the future by looking back at the history.

but you can predict the future by looking back at the history.

...and I'll be there to question your prediction, considering it's not fact.

so who will Steve Smith punch in the face this year? Cam?

but you can predict the future by looking back at the history.

Not always. Take for instance Cam Newton.

If you told me that a guy got a scholarship to a great school but only lasted ONE year because he was kicked off the team for stealing a laptop and then throwing it out the window, I would be kinda worried.

Then, he remakes himself for ONE year at a small school but there were accusations of money changing hands with his father no less while on his way to another school, I would be a bit more worried.

Then, while winning the biggest game in college ball, came out with his desire to be an icon, I would worry about the guy being a franchise QB in the NFL.

Yet, history did not keep him from rising above all the distractions to become one of the best rookie qb's in the NFL history. Everyone here hopes history does NOT repeat itself and he continues to improve and carry this team a long way.

Philly fans and the media treated McNabb like crap.

Not to derail the thread but McNabb was disliked by his own teamates and coaching staff much more than he was the Philly fans and media. There is a reason the players on the team sided with TO over McNabb during their fiasco and a reason not one of his teamates spoke out against him being released. They were glad to see him go. Most fans wanted Andy Reid gone and not McNabb.

Hey, way to insult RGIII and make sweeping generalizations about white people while denouncing racism. Well played, sir. Well played.

Not sure I insulted RG3. If I did I didn't mean to. I love the guy and think he could be an electric QB.

The tone of the post (dresses like a clown, etc.) was through the eyes of some white people, not mine, and not all white people.

The truth is that throughout history many white people tend to hate African Americans who are brash and a little cocky. They prefer blacks quite, humble, and non-threatening.

That is why Muhammad Ali was hated by white America during his reign as champ yet Joe Frazier was so loved.

Yet most of white America loved Joe Namath during the same time frame. A guy was just as cocky, outspoken, got the biggest contract in professional football, was an unabashed alcoholic and womanizer, and wore fur coats on the sidelines. That was viewed as cool (it is cool BTW Namath had as much if not more swag than Newton).

That is why there is so much hate on Lebron right now. "Oh noes he did a special to announce him leaving to go to Miami that benefited the Boys and Girls club of America. He is too cocky! I hate him!!"

Everyone loves Aaron Rodgers and few ever said poo about his title belt TD celebration even before he won a SB. Cam does the superman thing and many white folk find it offensive.

Could you imagine the back lash Cam Newton would get if he criticized the efforts of his teammates in the Pro Bowl or criticized the Giants phantom injuries like Rodgers did?? He would be demolished as too arrogant and needs to know his place.

It is the nature of society unfortunately.

Who the hell finds that offensive? Where did you get that?

McNabb was booed, thrown under the bus, dissed, bashed, benched, etc, etc. I am not disagreeing about his teammates but the fans didn't treat him great as implied.

Nothing against Luck, I hope he is as good as all the Luckers say...but does anybody else want him to fail just so all these dumbasses will look stupid?

[panthers55]

Mayock is just being consistent. He wasn't a big fan of him before he was drafted and although he had to give him his due after his rookie season is still skeptical. He acknowledges he has great physical skills but questions other aspects. I don't remember Mayock admitting he was dead wrong about Newton so what is he going to say?

People need to stop caring about what other people think about Cam or the Panthers. If you are happy with him who else really cares. This whole need to be liked and get respect from the league is really ridiculous and reminds of Sally Fields. As long as we win and make the playoffs, people can hate us and it doesn't matter one bit.

I imagine that everyone but Giants fans would agree with him because it's true.

You've decided to make Newton a victim and are going to see everything in that light....it's absurd.

I want him to be great so that the pro game continues to be entertaining.
