So I tune into talk radio a few minutes ago...

[ctrcat]

I turned off the radio as soon as Marc James went on his Cam Newton/Andrew Luck rant. Especially when they started talking about whether or not the new GM should look at getting rid of Cam. As if a new GM is going to make that call.

You mean it doesn't make total sense to get rid of the greatest rookie and freak in NFL history after year 2? Especially when guys like Alex Smith get 8 years? Marc with a "c" has literally lost his mind.

He's the leader of this team................act like it.

As a Panther fan........... that was an embarrasing press conference.

You're a complete idiot. Please tell me how was that press conference embarassing? Funny how beat writers like Jonathan Jones and Bill Voth find this WAY overblown. Keep believing into what ESPN and sports talk radio is feeding you.

He's a young quarterback on a team with a head coach who doesn't actually know he is a head coach.

The firing of Hurney was a long time coming. Pretending otherwise is just ridiculous.

You watched a different press conference than I did. I saw the one where a 23 year old has to stand up there and take responsibility for the team's 1-5 start. As usual, he shouldered the primary responsibility, whether deserved or not. He didn't throw anyone under the bus, unless you are one of those that want to over analyze his every word.

And no, he is not the leader of the team. Ron Rivera is supposed to be the leader of the team, not some 2nd year QB. Is Ponder the leader of the Vikes? Is Locker the leader of the Titans? Stop comparing him to Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or some other 12 year vet.

Yeah lets go back to sucking when we had Carr, Moore and Clausen as the starting QB on the roster and nobody in waiting..... yeah our future and that was much better.

But is he really? Last time I checked there wasn't a C on his jersey. There is a reason he wasn't designated a captain by his teammates. Me first guys don't make the cut.

[rayzor]

Stay away from sports talk tv and radio.

of you get pissed listening to them...you've only got yourself to blame.

I don't watch espn.

I know what I saw and heard.

Cam is a "me first" guy? Mental midgets, popping up like some sort of retarded game of whack-a-mole.

[Meangelo]

Cam is a "me first" guy?

Any QB who celebrates by himself, in the endzone, while his team is losing, is a "me first" guy.

Exactly. The nature of the celebration itself screams me first. I am superman.

Hand the ball to the ref and thank your linemen for getting you there. That is leadership.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Aside from 1 throw yesterday, cam played well. How many GD drops did Murphy kill him with

Perfect strikes too, both for first downs. We need Gettis for some spark.

[CRA]

...and all they are talking about is Cam Newton. The same thing happened earlier today when I watched NFL network.

Somebody please explain to me why Hurney gets fired, and all they talk about is Cam Newton? Please, because I don't get it.

What am I missing?

Talking about Hurney doesn't do them any good.

They want readers, viewers and ears. That's it. Cam is a media lightning rod....they will turn the norm into something different bc it sells.

Outside of 1 throw Cam played a damn good game Sunday. National talk doesn't want to look at the reality of it.....they see a L.....and that means they will spin a good outing as clear evidence of a struggling QB.

Outside of the Giants game. Newton hasn't been bad in reality.....he has just been a standard young QB.

I mean compare Cam 22 games in vs someone like Eli and only look at there job (not what others on the team has done).....

The "media" is a joke
