SuperBowl Week

[calia]

I get that he was pissed. And I agree with Lombardi -- "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser" (a quote that Cam made earlier today, as I understand it).

Having said all that, there's a difference between being pissed about the loss and not being OK with it, and acting as he did. And I don't care about the celebration in the background upsetting him either. You got beat. Badly. Deal with it. Be a man.

I have found Cam annoying all season (I hate the showboating -- maybe I am old school, but I miss Riggo and how when he used to score, he'd hand the ball to the refs). But the Superman nonsense? The dabbing? STFU and play football.

He did play football, his team went 16-2.

Seriously, his play speaks for itself.

The other stuff is for the drama queens to get all worked up about.

I think at times we forget these guys play a GAME for a living. It's supposed to be fun.

Well, for one thing, there's more than just guys born in the 1940's watching pro football. There's children of all ages, young people of all ages, and the celebrating is as much a part of the game as the field goals in their eyes. I personally think people should lighten up and not get so butt hurt over Cam Netwon (not referring to you Calia, just a general statement to the masses.) He dabs. He does his Superman thing. Who cares? Ickey Woods did his Ickey shuffle. The Fun Bunch did their group high five in the end zone. Some of the older Cowgirl receivers used to do their silly little six-shooter celebration in the endzone. Dez does his X-factor thing. You have some players who are low-key, others want to be seen. Such as in life. And of the most part, ol' Fig Newton has backed it up with a solid year. He's a good player.

I mean, maybe the fans should just do golf claps when their team scores instead of yelling and screaming and doing chest bumps? Sounds silly, right? Why not let the guys have fun? And come on, I'd be pretty bummed too if I just lost the Super Bowl. Unless your name is Tom Brady, who's to say your next chance to get back into the big show is within another year or so?

@josephperson

As for not diving on the fumble, Cam says he would've had to contort his his leg in a certain angle to do so. ...thereby risking injury





This is a HUGE problem for Cam. I can't believe this idiot actually told people this. No way in fuck would I ever want this clown on my team. He's no leader. You have a guy out there playing with a broke arm, and another with a broke foot and this pussy won't dive on a ball for fear of being injured? In the god damn Super Bowl at that.

You're complaining about a guy that pretty much plays as his team's second running back and takes a TON of hits, in a league that protects QBs? Just let it go man.

Hey, he said it. Not me. This isn't something I conjured up. He could have dove on the ball and potentially kept his team in the game but didn't due to fear of injury? What kind of pussy says that? No way in fuck would I want a QB on my team that would puss out in the biggest game of the year. How can he look Jared Allen or Thomas in the face after those two played with broken bones?


...are you shitting me? If Kirk Cousins (or RG3) had did some shit like that, DC would be going apeshit. (including you)

Lol I think you're overreacting. Cam takes as many hits as any qb in the game today, he's clearly not a pussy. Maybe he had a brain fart? If he did, would you still be reacting like this? Would you go apeshit if Kirk Cousins had a brain fart in a critical moment like that? Just to refresh your memory, Kirk Cousins did have a brain fart at a critical moment in a critical game during our season, but since we won all was forgiven.

The Panthers lost because they were dominated on offense from start to finish. Maybe they recover the fumble, and go on to continue to lose, again because they were literally being dominated from start to finish. Or what if he dives on the ball and breaks his leg, and they still lose? One play rarely makes or breaks a game (exceptions being the Packers hail mary game, etc.) This one was not going to be the exception to the rule.

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.

Yes, because I am a Redskins fan. You're going apeshit, like you own Panthers season tickets.

Personally, I think it is a stupid answer, because EVERYONE knows Cam always takes a ton of hits, so it doesn't make any sense. I don't know how you can call him a pussy, when he has taken more hits than any QB on the league.

Once again, not saying what he did is justifiable or right; but you're acting like Cam committed a crime or something. I just don't get the outrage.

You do realize I pull for Carolina when they aren't playing us right? How can you not be shocked when a guy who bulls people over and wins MVP say some stupid shit like he did. No, it doesn't make sense, but I'm not the one that said it. He did. He's the one that said he didn't dive on the ball because he didn't want to get hurt.

He didn't commit a crime, but he committed one when it comes to the football world. Not giving it your all in the Super Bowl would probably be one of the biggest faux pas there is in the sport.

I don't disagree with this post. I just thought the sulking was pretty pathetic, and coming off a season of showboating, it was inevitable that it would irk folks (admittedly, myself included).

I also don't disagree that Cam was lights out this year (and I will bet he continues to play well for years to come -- he's an uncommon talent). And I do think there's a difference between some of the endzone celebrations (e.g., the Fun Bunch which was a group celebration or Alfo Mo swinging for the fences as a nod to the little league team that supported him during his first training camp v. Cam's stuff). But no need to debate the relative merits of different celebrations, I think. I'll just say I would have been a lot more impressed with him had he angrily said during the post-game conference, "We got beat, but we're better than what we showed today. And I'm pissed. And I am going to use this as motivation to have an even better season in 2016" before storming out. But the monosyllabic and monotone responses were just lame.

Yes! Yes I do!

(OK, no I don't. Just observing the lameness of it all.)
