In hindsight though it was not a good idea for The Golden Calf of Bristol to do that, regardless he will be a Jaguar next year anyway. Khan already came out and said that if he were the owner of the Jags when The Golden Calf of Bristol came out that The Golden Calf of Bristol would have been the pick.

What The Golden Calf of Bristol did is selfish on all accounts in a team sport. No way around it

Maaaaan RT @EricDKoch: @GAlexander21 Imagine if Cam Newton did this?

"He just inspires his team to play harder and just wins" to "you know what I'm cool on that wildcat since I'm not starting"

No way around it. It was selfish. No way u can spin it. It was selfish. In a team sport where u must play a role. It was selfish. Period

I hope he kneeled down and prayed after saying he didn't want to play.

What a fraud.

Well that's because he's obviously not, Cam comes across that way to people that aren't a fan of the Panthers because they don't realize that Cam all around plays a different style of football then anyone else in the NFL.

Cam knows football is a business but he also loves to have fun and I guess that just rubs people the wrong way for some reason.

Newton has one of those personalities that makes some people love him and others hate him. Some people are just like that. You probably know more than one in your daily life.

That's not new to the Panthers, mind you. We've had Smitty for years.

Nor is it new to the league. Tom Brady comes off as a colossal prick to many. But to Patriot fans and favorable media, he's just "a fierce competitor".

Best way to overcome it? Ignore it and concentrate on winning games. The more you win, the more everybody comes to understand and accept your "quirks".

Tim has been criticized for his play and been given the benefit of the doubt in every situation. Cam has been criticized for his character and not been given the benefit of the doubt in any situation. I think that's a fair statement. This is a bad move by The Golden Calf of Bristol.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Not sure if serious.

Last year The Golden Calf of Bristol was criticized just as much as Cam. I know this because I got to Liberty (where The Golden Calf of Bristol fans live) and had to hear all the homers complain that The Golden Calf of Bristol was being treated unfairly. I myself am not a The Golden Calf of Bristol fan because he's not a good quarterback but the criticism that followed him was absurd.

I mean seriously, to say that a man is only good because of God is ridiculous (ESPN's First Take).

I'm chuckling at it, cause the Jets are such a dumpster fire right now.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

The Golden Calf of Bristol sucks, have fun in Jacksonville you pansy

That's an insult to dumpster fires.

Agreed, that was pretty much my point.

I don't think it's criticism when he actually can't throw.

[Gabeking]

The Golden Calf of Bristol will be praised by ESPN for doing it.

We all knew this was coming.
