Newton is going to be villainized
- Thread starter MadJack
- Start date
let`s hope not...newton put that "shiftilly-manned at wr" offense on his back and carried them for an entire season...
he`s hands-down the mvp and maybe the most important player on any one team in memory.....
the guy should be a deity in Carolina and should become the face of the nfl(he`s a minority,a great player,keeps his nose clean and is just flamboyant enough to make it all work)........

Did you even watch the video? You sound like Skip Bayless - he didn't understand what Steve was saying....COME ON, Weasie!
(By the way, Skip needs to retire. Holy fuck can he not make a solid point or coherent statement anymore.)
He sounds like Dan Lebatard(spelling?) Dan is always saying people hate Cam because he's black and really good. No they don't you dumb f'ing idiot. They hate him because he doesn't play for their team and is good. The same way people hate Brady, Manning and all of the other good qbs. I get freaking sick of people saying things like it's because of his color or it's because she's female. No, sometimes things are just because and it's nothing to do with their race or gender.
Stop perpetuating racism when it's not there. I see all of my friends on FB talking about how much they like Cam because of what he does for the kids and also because he's a freaking bad ass. I just don't understand all of the "they're going to make Cam look bad." Maybe the press will but that's your people Steven A, not ours. You get a few wack jobs that call into your radio show and you think they speak for everyone.
Enough is enough.

So it's not enough for everything to become a black white issue with Stephen A but now he's playing the black/white card before the issue even comes up? :mj07::mj07:
I can't tell you guys how good Cam is to the city of Charlotte. And this was way before any of the recent winning.

I watched it again...I don`t know whether smith was "implying" unpure motives(ie black/white... I hope not) or not...I said myself in the nfl forum that I knew we were going to suffer through 2 full weeks of "young cam" vs "old manning" b.s...the racial angle didn`t even occur to me...
personally,I`m a bit sick of "peyton"...his time has passed...I`m honestly hoping that cam and Carolina stick a fork the size of Neptune`s trident into manning`s chest and he fades into the sunset....enough with all those lameduck passes and the defense bailing him out...he`s not remotely the same guy and imo,without that defense,denver`s toast......he had a great,great career but that`s in the rearview mirror...he`s no longer carrying a team( I'd almost go as far as saying that peyton`s "nearly" a liability at this point)... that`s my opinion..
I see no reason for anyone to dislike newton....he`s an exciting,multi-dimensional threat with talent and some charisma...
I have to say that one guy in the nfl forum mentioned that the only reason people hated on newton was because he was black...I honestly don`t recall seeing much hate on this site for the guy...and that makes sense because his record this year speaks for itself...I liked the guy that said it but I sort of thought that comment was a little unwarranted(some seem to get their jollies by injecting divisiveness into every topic/see racism around every corner)...I just haven`t seen all this cam hate ..the guy`s the hands-down mvp and it`s not close...he earned it...
and I like Stephen a smith...this time I think he`s just being a provocateur....how can you hate newton unless you`re a dyed-in-the wool manning fan or just a media guy trying to stir the pot?.....if you`re a football fan,you respect what newton`s accomplished this year with his star receiver down(Benjamin)
seems to me like someone is trying to manufacture a controversy or an issue..:shrug:
I don't see anybody hating on Newton either. Anywhere.
Stephen A is saying what you just said. He's about tired of all the Peyton shite too but here he is getting ready for the whole spotlight once again which will take away some of the spotlight that Cam deserves. It will definitely happen, IMO. Nothing to do with black/white at all and Stephen A wasn't going anywhere near that.
His "having fun" comes across as fake to me. He comes across as a show off and although he talks about "team" in my mind he still wants and needs the spotlight on himself.
I'm sure I'm not explaining my thoughts correctly. Basically he reminds me of Terrell Owens.
Great QB though, maybe he'll be one of the best ever. Fun to watch. But just comes across as a phony to me.

Lot's of chatter on the sports talk today about this..... most of America wants to see Peyton go out with a W. I understand and respect this! Cam is not your typical QB in the NFL and he will run you the fuck over if you stand between him and the goal line. I do not think Manning, Brady, or any other QB in the NFL has this mentality at his position. No one else has the physicality to do this as QB....Love him or hate him, he smiles because he knows his team is going to win this Super bowl. He has won on every stage, this is nothing new for him. JMO :0008
And if you do not think he is good for the NFL game of football? Your are wrong, this guy has turned his life around and in the end........that's a great American story!
