For the record I could care less what the rest of the NFL thinks of Cam as long as his own team respects him.

This.

Guess how many people around the league loved Jordan? Magic, Larry, Isaiah all thought he was an arrogant asshole. He called them old and washed up to their faces...then he went out and won 6 championships and led them to gold on the dream team. Guess what...people STILL hate Jordan unless you are living in Chicago or you are one of his teammates with an NBA championship ring on.

Professional athletes are soft these days...expecting "respect" for playing a freaking game. They sound like a bunch of women when the new prettier girl walks in the party and the men all go talk to her instead of them. There's a reason that only Prisco wrote this article...because the rest of the writers that the NFL players talked too gave said players a tube of Vagisil and told hem to suck it up, that Cam was here to stay.

Cam was in Michael Jordan's luxury box last night at the Bobcats game. Coincidence? I think not.

You could get into a whole philosophical conversation about the differences between being a leader on a basketball team and a QB/leader on a football team. Some will tell you its completely different because its much easier just to take over a basketball game than a football game. In football your team has to be much more cohesive as a unit. Those who believe this think that every QB needs to act like Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck and be the guy who is always all smiles and very PR friendly.

However, when you look at guys who have won superbowls at the QB position...they aren't all like that. There is a guy out there right now who has two superbowls by the name of Ben Roethlisberger who was essentially hated by his teammates when he became the starting QB (after Maddox) because they thought he was arrogant. Guess what...the team all did their jobs and they went 15-1 that year and the rest is history. Now nobody talks about the fact that Roethlisberger has made stupid mistake after stupid mistake because he wins.

The bottom line with Cam is that he needs to STOP THE CHILDISH BULLSHIT. He needs to stop celebrating after a first down (it shouldn't be a victory to get a first down). He needs to stop being the guy who does a special dance after a TD (those shouldn't be a surprise either). Go back to the line of scrimmage after a first down and if you score a TD then sure give the ball to a fan but stop grandstanding with the superman pose.

The reason he needs to stop doing this crap has nothing to do with the way he is perceived by his competitors...it has to do with the way he thinks about success. Is it really a success to get a first down or a TD? On a very small level yes...but when you celebrate to the extent that he does it makes it seem like its a huge victory. As a QB who SHOULD be trying to reach the superbowl every year it's not appropriate after every play. Do it when it IS a big deal. Do it when you score a game winner or get a first down to save the drive at the end of the game. It's just getting old...especially when we are 3-9.

Its just a weird media character assassination on Cam..not that he isnt selfish or not the ideal personality...but that is who he is. Accept it...he never was trying to be Peyton manning.

He didnt rape a girl...but the Media cant give Ben Rapist-burger enough slobber.

Sports media: Rape is < Superman pose, putting off taking a picture with the kids.

context is nice...Cam leaving in a car for an obligation....player runs out to grab him to take a picture with his kid...He says "not a good time..Ill be back." ..not so jerky...that player knew where Cam was staying and probally had multiple chances if he wasnt too busy in a strip club away from his son.

People just want to find a reason to hate him...it will not take much for most of them as we see.

I even had a friend make a facebook post:

"Im not a Newton fan but that new NFL commercial is funny with the kid"

first response was:

"yeah, but did you notice they didnt even shoot the conversation together with the kid..Cam thinks he is too good."

uh.....have you not seen the format of all the NFL commercials?..... dumb is dumb and Pete is piling on as he sees national conversation taking shots on Newton. It would be Heretical to actually speak about him really righting the ship last few games.
