Maybe I got too excited after the win. I wanted to see what the National media thought of us so I DVRed all the shows. I wanted to see them eat crow and spin it. Most of it was surprisingly humble and positive but NBC Sports rubbed me wrong.

 

They broke down the game and praised the Panthers for an impressive win. Then they started talking about our future. Eric Kuselias asks the question "Can Cam handle playing second fiddle to the Carolina Panthers defense?". Absurd question, I would have deleted the recording but I wanted to hear the panel shut him down first. Scott Pioli agrees with him. W T F. He says that Cam needs the spotlight(which he obviously gets in Carolina right?) and his maturity will become an issue. Then Rodney Harrison starts in on press conferences and inconsistent maturity. He asks facetiously if Cam is worth $100million.

 

I know, Rodeny Harrison and all of the media are idiots. I expect that. My problem is: keep your mouth shut if you don't know the subject you are talking about. If you can't express an informed opinion than don't express one at all. This is why other fan bases think our QB is an asshole, because the talking heads tell them he is. The maturity argument was weak a year ago and worse now it's outdated. Cam has done everything possible to present that angelic image the media expects from him and he's still getting ripped.

 

People knock WFNZ but it's the only media source that keeps up with the Panthers. Every other media outlet lags a year behind.

 

I'm paraphrasing and I really can't articulate just how negative their comments on Cam were. I couldn't believe the ignorance and I won't be watching that show again.

Yea everyone STILL thinks he's this immature whiny little kid I don't understand it the dude is like Brett Favre he's like a big kid out on the field because his job is professional football and it just so happens that he absolutely HATES losing because he is COMPETITIVE i can't fuging stand to lose at a video game much less lose a professional football game, and even though he admitted that he should change his demeanor in press conferences after a loss it's not like it was that big of a deal anyways it wasn't like he was throwing teammates and coaches under the bus he just hated to lose simple as that

 

but these idiots refuse to use logic and continue to just look at stats and say well this is how you should behave this is how you should act, everybody is different and matures differently these people are dumb that's why i refuse to even turn that junk on

Funny how nobody asked rather or not Eli could handle being second fiddle to the Giants Defense in those super bowl years...also funny how nobody talks about how he bitched his way out of SD to play in NY in the first place. But nah, Cams a thug, towels, computers etc

 

actually they did. eli took assloads of criticism leading up to that superbowl run, and even after it the next couple of years were spent analyzing whether or not he could play well without a top notch defense and run game.

 

those questions never stopped being asked until he won that second superbowl.

I don't recall any of that. I only remember him being criticized for sucking, not for being a prick.

I've never understood the need to equate football to real life jobs. Cam Newton can hump the goal post after a 6 yard gain for all I care. They are playing football, not launching rockets.

 

Good thing Cam doesn't work for NASA, he'd miss Mars every time.

The media loves athletes who are humble. Cam isn't or at least comes off that way. It's his decision to act as he will and we're winning regardless, so I'd rather Cam be who he wants to. Though, I understand why he rubs people the wrong way sometimes. It is what it is. Could care less myself.

Cam has always praised his teammates with his Camisms about "unbelievable effort" etc. The celebrations is just a weird generational gap. I say weird because guys like Deion really started it 20 years ago and now guys like Cam are acting like their idols. Some people will say QB double standard but Cam isn't the first QB to celebrate a big play. I call it the Cam Standard.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
