Why do people hate Cam Newton?

I don't hate Cam, but I don't like him all that much either. I'm a diehard Steelers fan, so I don't see the Panthers play much. But I remember a game a couple years ago. He was terrible. He had multiple turnovers, and put his team in bad spots over and over. At the end of the game, after they'd been blown out, he ran into the endzone. Of course out came the Superman ripping open his shirt thing.

I haven't cared much for the player since.

So Cam owes being a sore loser (he acknowledges he is one) and people still crush him.

I have no fucking idea what people want from him at this point. Like I said before, at least I know this is who he is, warts and all. I have no interest in a guy that "says all the right things" and is essentially a PR robot.

I gained more respect for Cam for not walking this shit back like most athletes do. Dude basically said, yeah I was salty and it is who I am. Deal with it.

A guy says he is basically an immature and emotionally stunted jerk in defeat and is going to remain as such and you respect that?

Really???

I guess I am just fortunate enough I don't have to rationalize my QB's shitty behavior since Brees is by and large a pretty high quality person all around.

I respect him not walking it back, not the behavior. The behavior is not what I would do but I respect him not having some fake "apology". If you're gonna act that way, own it.

Hope that helps.

My QB is Case Keenum.

:(
 
Cam owning the fact he's a shit loser that acts like a douche and not walking back to apologize is far more worthy of my respect than the guys who give the same canned answers to everything.

At least he's true to who he is.

I just don't get how that is in any way something to respect out of human behavior? Or even just respecting that mentality. Stubbornness about poor behavior isn't a virtue in my book.

By all means drop the canned answers and be genuine if you want but if what is gonna transpire subsequently is poor behavior, you don't get a pass in my mind just because your confident in doing so and stubborn at remaining as such.

But whatever. I'm just hoping my Saints can eventually do Brees right and give him a defense before he looks like Peyton out there. Cam and Co. are gonna make that hard though.

Edit: I just assumed you were a panthers fan. You might have it worse then I do. My sympathies go out.
 
I don't like cam newton because I don't like arrogant punks who turn into insufferable, self entitled pricks the second something doesn't go their way. You cant show up in gold pants as the king of the world only to punk out like a pussy/give up when the games on the line or slink away from some tough questions.

On the other hand I love MJ, Schumacher, Tiger. These guys are killers, real bastards. not great sportsmen by any stretch but they didn't care about anything but winning.

I don't think he's there yet. Maybe he wI'll never get there. Whatever, that's his issue.

Like I said, I respect the fact, in spite of not being there yet, he isn't hiding behind some empty apology or excuse. He is owning his fuckery.

:(

We better not get Pey Pey.
 
Let's all get on the Cam pity party. Who cares.. but his receivers suck and he couldn't run around like he's use to against a strong defense. Guess he should of worried about about the game then his 700 dollar ugly pants.

Oh yeah,

Ginn Jr was fucking trash in that game as well.
