Re: SuperBowl Week
 

[quote=NC_Skins;1139047]Me overreacting? I can't believe any of you guys are saying this....lol Apparently you don't know how Panther fans are taking this (not good) because they know that Thomas played with a broken arm and Allen with a broken foot. They were down 6 points with 4 minutes. Recovering that ball could have made a huge difference in the game.

This wasn't a brain fart or I would understand that. Him saying he didn't want to get hurt (even though he runs all the time) diving for a ball in the biggest game of the year (probably his life) is something entirely different.

Don't compare what Kirk did to what Cam did. They aren't remotely the same. If Kirk had downed the ball in the Super Bowl because he didn't want to get hurt, you god damn right I'd be furious.

I want a player who's going to leave it all out on the field come the big game. This is regular season. I'm absolutely in shock this dude said this.[/quote]

Lol they're just words. Going apeshit over it does nothing. If you look at the whole body of work, you'd see Cam takes as many hits as any qb in the league. Evidence is suggesting he's not a pussy. Besides, who the hell knows what really was going on in his mind when it happened? Maybe he lied just to get it over with. Either way I don't care. They got dominated and they lost.

Re: SuperBowl Week
 

The answer is simple ... he wanted to try and pick the ball up and make a play on 3rd down, not dive on it.

Cam is in a perfect position and distance to dive on the ball ... if he wanted to do that.

Here, as he starts to reach down, ware puts his arm out and now Cam is too close and his leg is too stiff to now dive down ...

^^ here is a link to a GIF of the play. More clearly shows Cam approaching the ball with the intent to scoop it up ...

Side note on this whole conversation: I've never seen fans of a single team taking such hard stands on a player not even on the Redskins. LOL. :D

Re: SuperBowl Week
 

I was surprised by the Panthers strategy on offense. I'm not sure how much difference gameplan made though when everybody underperformed.

OL was losing to their DL. They couldn't run-on didn't make lanes and RBs didn't create, pass pro wasn't good (to include a key missed blitz pickup by Fozzy). Cam lost 2 fumbles. WRs couldn't separate and didn't make any plays and had drops. Talib made Olsen disappear. Brown's injury hurt and Stewart wasn't the same after he got banged up.

[quote=skinsfan69;1139088]N C Skins...he had a bad play there, it happens.[B] Maybe it was a brain fart or a split second type of thing where he felt he couldn't get to the ball the way he was standing. [/B]Probably came out wrong by him saying he didn't want to injure himself by tying to get the ball. But Cam Newton is not a pussy. How many NFL QB's have you ever seen run the ball into the teeth of NFL defenses the way he does? And continue to stay healthy? Cam's a stud and a tough as nails QB, just had a bad play.[/quote]


I had no problem with the play to be honest with you. I didn't really question the man's effort or toughness, and I chalked it up to a brain fart. THEN....he started to speak to the media and pretty much blew it from there. How can you do so many things that put yourself out there on the field, and then come tell reporters you didn't want to get hurt? Is he really that dumb or is he just that selfish?


[quote=MTK;1139089]Questioning Cam's toughness is just fucking absurd.

He's human, he goofed big time by not jumping on the fumble. Oh well. Such is life.[/quote]

I don't think anybody up here questioned his toughness until he made the excuse about not wanting to get hurt. I agree. He did goof and he is human. So why not just say that? Why say some bullshit about not wanting to get hurt?

I know he's not a pussy, but I'm going to call him one if he says he didn't dive on a fumble in the biggest game of his career out of fear of being hurt. In fact, I'd go as far to say that anybody in the NFL isn't a pussy. You got to be pretty tough to make it that far.



[quote=metalskins;1139110]LOL!!! I think ol' NC is about to hyperventilate! He's either going to internally combust or he's going to shart himself![/quote]


I'm just dumbfounded by the league MVP saying he didn't want to get hurt by diving on a fumble during the Super Bowl. A fumble that could have gave them another opportunity to come back. I assure you I went to bed the same that night and sleep just as good.



Me personally, I think there are a lot of aspects of Cam that is straight up selfish. It's about him. What kind of tool wears cleats honoring his own MVP? (an award he most definitely deserved)

How vain do you have to be to wear some shit like this?....lol Cam is like RG3 in the aspect that he wants and loves the limelight, until that same light starts to burn him. Then he wants no part of it. He too will be humbled one way or another.


I think we've seen the last of "the Dab".

You know it's bad when old man Wade Phillips is trolling you.

I haven't listened to NFL Radio all week because it's just Cam talk 24/7.

Someone please pour me a big steaming mug of who gives a flying fuck.

I think Denver, Houston, and Cincinnati won't make the playoffs.

Washington, Green Bay, Minnesota, Seattle, KC, and Arizona might make the playoffs.

New England will make the playoffs.

I pick Pittsburgh and Carolina in the next superbowl. Ugh.

Is it any different than when RG3 was a thing? Polarizing people are going to dominate the press. That said, I don't listen to any of that shit to begin with...lol Media love to build up a guy just so they can tear him down. It doesn't help when these guys give them all the ammo and fuel they need.

Tough to say before any moves are made, but I think Seattle is a couple of moves away from being a strong SB contender again.

Re: SuperBowl Week
 

denver's D is good enough to be back in the playoffs. they got there with tim tebow at QB and i'd have to imagine osweiler is just a bit better.

that's assuming they can keep the band together. it's more likely they lose quite a few FAs, since people like poaching SB rosters. then all bets are off.
