Cam Newton Blames JaMarcus Russell, Vince Young For The Disrespect He Gets
Posted By: SteveRobWhatever 12-28-2011 , 11:02 PM
   

Cam Newton entered the NFL as one of the most critiqued prospects in the draft, scrutinized because of the investigation regarding charges that he got paid to attend Auburn. We got on him after he called himself an entertainer and icon. His character was destroyed in Pro Football Weekly’s draft preview. We even pointed out that he struggled to call an audible in Jon Gruden’s televised quarterback camp. That’s a lot of scrutiny for one player but Cam says it’s the recent failures of JaMarcus Russell and Vince Young that ruined the perception of him. “But I can’t sit up here and look at it like, oh man, my critics are racist,” Newton said to ESPN the Magazine. “I blame JaMarcus Russell and to some degree Vince Young. If you have the opportunity to make that kind of money doing something you love to do, why would you screw it up? I’m trying to be a trailblazer. If Baylor’s Robert Griffin decides to come out, I want people to say ‘He can be the next Cam Newton’ instead of ‘He’s gonna be the next JaMarcus Russell.’ I had people who can’t throw a football telling me my mechanics were wrong,” says Newton. “I had people taking shots at my character, classifying me as a thug, as a hoodlum. After Week 3 or 4, all these same people wanted an interview. I said, ‘You were giving me all this crap and had so much to say about how I was gonna play, and now you wanna talk? No. Just sit back and watch the show, man.’”

when has he ever admitted to any shortcomings ? is that what he was doing when he claimed to be an entertainer and icon ?

i'm not really that impressed with any of these newer qb's that have come in right away and been successful, not saying they suck but the league has basically gift wraped the game for qb's now.

are you reading the same quotes i'm reading?

his quotes focus around saying his detractors are 'wrong' and inferring they are racist ............... how is that accepting his role and admitting his own shortcomings?

Maybe I'm not reading the same ones. First I see this as the opposite of claiming racism. Heard alt of people around him do that but not him. Most of what I hear exudes confidence, but I have also heard him say he needs to protect the ball better and generate more wins. I see nothing wrong with confidence as long as you can accept criticism

Bingo.

The guy can play, no question. But he's still a dick that needs to learn to shut his mouth, too.

You can only play the 'dissed and dismissed' card so long...

you know what. If that never happened then this would be a dead topic. That is what got me not liking him. His dad shopped him around. You have to have talent to even consider that. But that is how the modern athlete is now days. well most of them. Put Cam back in the 70's and 80's and he wouldn't succeed like he is now cause there would be a feast on him and his receivers. Comes back to the same old topic. Defense is no longer welcomed in the NFL. Imagine what Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Steve Young and such would be like now if they played.
