player
s of all time and not despite those things in many ways because of those things he is human he falls down he makes mistakes he gets up he smiles he scores a touchdown and then he dances and your mother faces me Cam Newton is one of themost
, if not themost
misunderstood
player
s of all time, you're talking about a guy who gives it all up, takes hits I've never seen any other quarterback take, always in shape, loved by his coaches, loved by his teammates team player and at the same time hated by many.Of people he is charismatic, enigmatic and yes dramatic, a complex character who brought joy, passion and, most importantly, fun to the game at one time, but was desperately needed. This is
what
happened
to Cam. He knew it that way. Kameron Jarell Newton was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1989. His father Cecil Newton was one of those parents who emphasized the importance of sports and also emphasized the hard work it took to reach the highest level of them to his three children. Now at some point I have to come here and emphasize how good it is. one player was in high school but we showed Newton, if you saw him play NFL ball, it's not hard to imagine, basically imagine Superman himself playing for the Panthers running around playing against smaller, slower guys and he had to do it in the infield, the guy dominated, okay? he was a five-star recruit and the nation's No. 2 dual-threat QB.Tyrod Taylor was actually ranked number one in that category, FYI Camp committed to the University of Florida at the beginning of his final high school season that same year. A college freshman named Tim Tebow threw for 358 yards and ran for another 469 yards and scored an incredible 13 touchdowns as a part-time quarterback in Florida camp, never someone who shied away from competition decided to attend school. anyway and that being said. There was no way he could have been prepared for the Tebow mania that would come the following year, so in 2007, a guy who would go on to win a Heisman Trophy and a national championship and have one of the greatest college seasons of all time was was stagnant. a bench behind another guy who would win the Heisman Trophy and a national championship and go on to have some of the best college seasons of all time, so there you have an embarrassment of riches in Florida that you can play with sparingly, since Tebow won the Heisman that In 2007, the old camera overlooked many of his teammates in practice, as he was the only quarterback crazy enough to jump onto the Oklahoma box and really dominate the guy, until the To this day, this man somehow doesn't get enough credit for his toughness.
I don't want to hear about any quarterback's toughness if you're not going to mention Cam, you don't talk about it, the next year Cam had playing time in the first game of the season, but he hurt his ankle and was out. lost most of the year. It wasn't long before that. downtime, let's leave the bad decisions, that's it, here we go, stolen laptop,
what
reallyhappened
, the reports do not give a clear picture and even the victim himself, the guy whose laptop was stolen, said that he doesn't know if the cameras, the guy who actually stole his laptop, what we know, these cameras, the guy who ended up with the laptop, so you know, here we go, based on my own personal experiences.I arrived at the theory. I think it probably went one of two ways, theory: One, the guy left a laptop behind. Somewhere the camera was found and he realized that there was no one there to claim him, cutting into his bag he has a new laptop for theory number two, another student takes the guy's laptop and then sells it for a very low price to be able to, okay, if that were the case. I'm sure the price of the laptop would have been low enough to alarm anyone that this is probably stolen, maybe I should mess with it, but again, like 20 years ago at this point, I needed a laptop.
Really, really bad judgment, he now he made a mistake. Funny enough I saw things like this happen in college and he never got as far as this, but the police showed up, they actually did some real police work on this and were able to track the laptop to the camera room. They search the room, see the laptop, but they want to make sure it's there before they confiscate it, so they leave the room to do some police stuff, I guess, but when they come back, they can't tell where the laptop is broken. the laptop disappeared again, bad judgment from my dog's camera, now what happened is the camera threw the laptop out the window, that's the part of the story most people hear like, oh, just is doing that, the window, of course, will be found hanging. now he throws it out the window, he had his son come or someone come and pick up the laptop and take it to a dumpster, you see what I'm saying, that might have worked if they hadn't already seen the laptop in his room and even had his name and login information already on the computer.
See Newton caught red-handed. I still have the same question one day that I had then. Why did a scholarship football player develop the need to illegally acquire a laptop? It just seems like a basic necessity for a college kid, but whatever ends my job, but I know you're making excuses for him, it was a bad decision to make for my 20 year old college kid and some people still judge this man, No, he's 30 years old, they still judge. this guy up Oh, a mistake he made a decade ago because the rules change as to what's forgivable and it wasn't basically up to who makes the rules and why they've gotten into trouble and what their friends have gotten into trouble. for all that. things are forgivable coolants but oh no but you did it yeah that's what i said they took this pretty far and cam was arrested for felony robbery larceny and obstruction of justice behind this so y'all They have a route with yourself just by looking at this.
Think about how incredibly lucky you are for some of the things you did. It took us a long, long time. A camera had broken. It got messed up a lot. In fact, he faced removal in Florida, but he participated in a pretrial program that cleared all charges. will be removed, so Cam ends up transferring to a college called Billy In college three days after Cam announced his intention to transfer Florida, he won the 2009 BCS National Championship, covering the Gators all over television and creating a prison mental inescapable for the camp. I bet wherever he went. Everywhere you looked is Florida's National Championship, the team you could have been a part of, that must be a tough pill to swallow, a tough thing to deal with, especially at that age, and honestly the story could have ended there, but this was it. our first look.
In the face of Cam Newton's remarkable resilience, many guys would have been crushed under the weight of what could have been. We can make the most of what really was in 2009, the same years the former prestigious d1 school won a national championship. Cam led his prestigious night as a junior. college to a NJC Double-A football national championship, okay, this is the definition of making the best of a bad situation. Cam gained nearly 3,500 yards and scored 22 touchdowns. He had refined his game in Florida, he became stronger, faster and much more cerebral as a player. He has something to prove and he showed it.
Cam was once again named one of the top recruits, but this time he was number one. Schools like Oklahoma Mississippi State and Auburn were foaming at the mouth to get managed services from him. Cam chose our load, even that would become later. Controversial as Cams' father was accused of negotiating a pay-for-play deal with the school, an accusation that Cam and his father have now denied. I'll be honest, this is a problem for some people, it's not a problem for me if it's true. I think dad was playing with fire, but kids getting paid to go to certain colleges is not something I care about because I think it should be paid for either way, so you wouldn't have to worry about this kid ever being . a position to feel the need to still have a damn laptop, so if you got stuck in going to Auburn, I mean Auburn fans, wasn't it worth it and a season in the Auburn chamber never lost a game of scene you threw for 2,800 yards, we have 30 passes? touchdowns and only seven interceptions, completed 67 percent of his passes and rushed for nearly 1,500 yards scoring another OK, another 20 touchdowns on the ground were broken, that's absolutely crazy after leaving a school right before they won at Addy, go to JUCO and win the championship there. when Cam brought back the big d1 SEC football, he went right back to the championship game, he got 320 yards, scored two touchdowns and won the damn thing, he also won the Heisman Trophy that year as the best player in college football, sweet redemption as he had just been. kicked off the team two years prior, like literally each of the next two years, the man wanted the championship, son of the gospel, now as you can see the chamber race has already had some massive ups and downs and unfortunately that The same type of trend would continue during Mississippi State Chambers' championship boosters have been leaking to the media that Chambers father Cecil Newton told them it would take more than the scholarship for Chambers to play at their school since On the outside, looking in, it seemed like they were spiteful as partners.
The SEC opponent was going to run, they looked at the name on the cameras dragged and he already had marks against him, so he was an easy target as a school that would later get caught up in its own recruiting scandal troubles. It's clear that the state of Mississippi is not above this type of thing, so my theory and it's just my opinion, I have no proof of that, just my thoughts. I feel like Mississippi State was outbid. You know, I'm saying he went out with Auburn and got mad. In the 2011 NFL Draft, Cam Newton was selected first overall by the Panthers.
Jimmy Clausen refused to give up the No. 2 jersey. I can't wear it at Auburn, so I can't wear a slightly tighter number. Cam Newton started in the NFL from day one, he threw for over 400 yards in his first NFL game and did it again in his second game, although he threw three picks in that second camp, but he had a great season with a quarterback of rookie field that ranks at four. one thousand passing yards seven hundred guards his touchdown interception rate wasn't very good 21 touchdowns and 17 picks but we came and really finished with the quarterback or offensive player, you have to take all of his stats into account so that a nhien cams rush stats and like rookie ran for forty seven hundred yards scored 35 touchdowns and through 17 picks that sounds a lot better and definitely sounds like Rookie of the Year numbers.
I'm not even going to check that not everything was pleasant for Cam, even though his friend was criticized for everything. from the celebrations to his smile, yeah, there was even criticism, this can't smile bro, it's a little ridiculous, it's super ridiculous, but that's basically what it was, basically, one writer said Cam had a fake smile. Sam Cam was very fake and seems very scripted. and selfish, this takes me to a lot of places mentally, but I try to have empathy, so the guy who wrote this I'm trying to see where he was coming from. Well, this basically brings me back to what he was saying in the introduction on camera. one of the most
misunderstood
players of all time says his smile is fake and stupid.It almost seems like you're implying that he has nothing to be so happy about, so I'm going to take that stupid statement and throw it out until the other statements. saying that at times it seems to be written into the script, I can see it and using my empathy I can see how this writer may have seen it, but that's how I see that Kim doesn't come from the same mold as most of the first overall picks, no No, and this isn't even a black and white thing, like you can use Russell Wilson as a good example.
I actually love Russ underrated, but you know, very different people see this clip very quickly for Russell Wilson, so I'm Excited, I get to be a part of the amazing NFL Flag League and we're going to go global with this, obviously, In the United States, we have more than 500 thousand children who play boys and girls with the NFL flag,what do you notice? It sounds similar to how it sounds in an interview a little more casual a little more relaxed but very very similar here is a clip from the camp it is a calm before the storm unlike Russ the job interview is not the first language of the cameras, so when you speak it some things get lost in translation, like a spanish speaking person whose second language is english, sometimes when they speak things get lost in translation the same way you probably would if you were to learn a second language.
I understand that it's not exactly an apple to apples comparison because Cam technically speaks English, but Cams' dialect is very southern. Hip-hop's influence on how you normally communicate is very different from that of the average franchise quarterback, and I'm talking about everything from inflections to body language. nine yards and it's not unreasonable to assume that he had people in his ear telling him that he needed media training and that he needed to learn to talk like a franchise quarterback. Part of what I think this writer might have seen was just a university. kid trying to project the image he thought he needed to project to be accepted and seen as a potential franchise quarterback today we know that's not even necessary yeah my dog Lamar Jackson doesn't try to disguise his dialect when he speaks he's just authentic and free and for the most part I mean, of course, he has his haters, but for the most part people seem to love his personality, still, that may or may not have been the case when the camera came out.
I will say it today. When I listen to him talk, he feels much more comfortable in his own skin. He probably doesn't have as many people in his ear telling them, you need to be like that or you need to talk like that and what he says is normal and his expression is that everything is much more congruent and he definitely feels more comfortable in the skin and that's what happens to As you get older he definitely has some leadership qualities, he is magnetic and if you watch all or nothing you will see how his teammates gravitate towards him but his style is far from perfect, he wears his emotions on his sleeve and his energy is very contagious, the problem is that it can be a double-edged sword when you are feeling good, playing well and having fun, the whole team, but when things are not going well, you sometimes have a tendency to get too frustrated and your negative energy can bring down a little to the team when I was a child I didn't understand this but now that I'm a little older I do understand that the quarterback is the leader and I understand that the leader's temperament does affect the entire group.
I think that's why you see a lot of things. Franchise quarterbacks need to be much more balanced because guys who get very excited can also sometimes falter and that usually doesn't bode well for the rest of the team, which is to say that no leadership style is perfect as quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers have been. It's been said in the past that they're aloof and that younger receivers have sometimes had a hard time connecting with quarterbacks like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, so basically this isn't an indictment about the camp, just an observation and something to say.
I am standing out and I definitely think he can continue to improve in 2013, he was able to make the playoffs for the first time and in 2014 he won his first playoff game despite dealing with a series of injuries, including an ankle problem for which he had have to undergo surgery and an actual fracture yet. that year he led the Panthers to their first playoff victory in almost a decade, then in 2015 in a magical season where Cam led the Panthers to a 15 and 1 record, they won the NFC Championship and reached the Super Bowl . Actually quite similar to that year at Auburn, as Cam almost went undefeated, won the best player award, in this case the NFL MVP, and made it to the championship game, only this time Camp Steam couldn't come out victorious. and it was strange, brother.
I remember during the warm-up I looked at my partner while he was looking at the catwalk and I was like the dog Kim, you don't look good, like what's going on, you know this fear late and although there are so many theories and speculations here, this video is not for that. We're not going to go down the ride of speculation, but what we know for sure is that the camera malfunctioned after the game. Kim received a lot of criticism for leaving the press conference early and being a bad sport, so first of all, let's get it out of the way.
I say this, the real reason Cam walked out of the interview was largely ignored by most of the media. Now listen, I'm not saying that the reason he came out was like it was justified or that he was okay because this is the reason I am. I'm just saying, tell me what really happened and then I'll decide how I feel. What really triggers the exit is this Chris Harris, who is within earshot of CAM, he's in the mood to celebrate, hell, he just won the Superbowl, so nothing, nothing bad. He camped saying that he heard it and that made him angry.
I'm sure he wanted to retaliate. Reply. Do not say anything. He got up and left probably thinking: Why the hell are they having the interview here where I can? Listen to it like this, that's nice, that's pretty cold now, real quick. I want to talk about the quarterback who earned his super payday in Manning. I love Peyton Manning. I love watching him play. I especially love listening to him talk about the game. Actually, I'm very discouraged. That he turned down the Monday Night Football job, he would have been so dumb, but anyway, Hades is kind of a citizen motto as an NFL QB, he's a guy that a lot of people compare himself to.
I remember him saying something that always caught my attention. and it's never been something that's really taken over the Peyton Manning narrative. He said I never like guys who say we'll have it next year, it's supposed to bother you and that was evident when Peyton walked off the field clean after Super Bowl 44 in 2010. He didn't shake hands with Drew Brees, in Instead of that, he took him out of there and he was definitely a bad sport that day. Now my reaction at that moment was the same as that of many. You just lost the fucking Super Bowl, bro.
It happens as if it really isn't like that. big deal, I still feel exactly the same way, the thing is, I maintain the exact same energy when judging other quarterbacks, in this case, Cam Newton, bad narratives have dominated much of Cam Newton's career, At a certain point, it doesn't matter. What You Do and the Camera Narrative was thrown out there in college during the whole laptop thing, then his dad had the scandal where he was trying to apply for a trademark in schools when he was in the play, those came out. two things mixed with the cameras. a strict personality, the fact that he dresses like he wouldn't do what he wouldn't do and looks and sounds different than most of the other quarterbacks in the franchise, it all comes together for you, the beautiful bad guy narrative that the media narratives drive. strong that's why you can live in a photo of Tom Brady and you will see this.
He is despondent because he put it all out there and it hurts because he is so passionate. The same photo of Kam Kam. A selfish look, he is giving up. I know. You guys are having it, not a leader, a leader of men would never let his teammate see them like that. Damn narratives. Brother Kam Lewin led the Panthers to the Superbowl, but once he got there he couldn't get the win and it seems. that his career took a dip after that, in 2016, a year after his MVP season, he had the worst passer rating of his career and then in 2017, that fearless, tough way Kam plays the game finally He began to reach it in the context of injuries.
He had to surgically repair a rotator cuff tear and suffered a knee sprain that year. Now the comments are saying that Kam hasn't been the same since the Super Bowl and while it's true that his wardrobe is already eye-catching, he took another step towards the eccentric. It can be argued that in the first few games of 2018 we saw the best version of Cam Newton. Before injuries took over, Panther started that season with six and two before collapsing at the end. Cam, who still threw over 3,000. yards despite not playing healthy all season he had the highest completion percentage of his entire career completing 68% of his passes, but annoying cameras showed that the injury only got worse as the season went on and he ended up having another surgery shoulder this time in his launch. while he was still recovering from that camp, he suffered two lives with frank fractures, so he's basically been out of commission since 2018 and you know it, and jocks forget there's a new Carolina regime and decided to leave camp after spelling to change it.
That said, while it seemed like the owner was definitely behind the camp, it never seemed like they actually got him to receive weapons. I mean, he had the two years with Steve Smith in the latter part of Steve Smith's career, they tried Calvin Benjamin, but not that. It didn't really work out of course he had manager Greg Olson almost the whole time so that's great but it's a little difficult and then when Christian McCaffrey got there the camera was super banged up then he got injured and he's been out forever. Since a few days ago, in this garbage year of 2020, the Panthers released Cam Newton, people will see this as an opportunity to try to do it with humility, but I really hope he lands on his feet.
I hope that the medical check that our other teams decide to carry out. a look like I know they will once this pandemic slows down and I know a lot of people have already said this, but it makes a lot of sense that the charges have to be in the right place where you want to sell tickets to win games, man. a free agent cam left a lasting impression on Carolina, from all the wish requests to shoe signings, and you can see that he is comfortable and very genuine when it comes to dealing with kids, those are smiles he definitely doesn't have why fake, he is as passionate as them and can communicate with them genuinely when I look at the chambers career up to this point and the reason why I hold the chambers in such high regard and why he is one of my favorite players throughout his career in college football, finishing the NFL for This point reminds me of a song by Frank Sinatra and I in the video with a couple of lyrics.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, when I bit off more than I could chew, but still, when there were doubts. I ate it and spit it out. I faced it all, but I stood my ground and did it my way. Cam Newton did it his way, he didn't settle and he was so close to that Super Bowl brother. This would be a completely different conversation. and he understood it anyway this was the first part, he goes to another team and goes through this season stay tuned for the second part, it will definitely turn into laughter, we will see how this develops.
I'm out of luck next time. my name is phil no raspberries
