Cam is a chicken shit


This is basically everything you need to know about Cam Newton in one play.  This is exactly why I've always said there's nothing special about Cam's personality.  He's not a warrior.  There's nothing about his will to win that enchants me as a football fan.  There's nothing captivating or interesting about a guy who can't get enough attention when things are going good and sits and sulks in the corner when things are going bad.  Last night Cam was so rattled by Dever's D and the moment in general that he couldn't even get it through his brain how important it was to recover that ball.  I can't think of one single quarterback who wouldn't have put his life on the line to keep that drive alive.  If Carolina was up 30 points like they usually are and that ball comes out he probably jumps on it cause that's Cam in his zone.  When everything's clicking he's the best player in the game.  You know how they say you can judge somebody's character on how they handle adversity?  Well that was Cam last night.  When he's kicking your ass he'll make sure EVERYONE knows about it.  But when he's getting his ass kicked he's either off in the corner sulking or not recovering loose balls that may decide the Super Bowl.

Now I don't think his postgame presser was "classless" or "rude" or anything.  I expect him to be dejected after losing the fucking Super Bowl.  I'm sure plenty of other guys on the Panthers and in the history of losing the Super Bowl answered questions that exact same way.  But that's not who Cam has been for the last 5 months.  He's been bombastic in every postgame press conference this season.  All year long all he's wanted was attention.  Dabbing and Supermanning all over the place.  Wearing MVP cleats before the Super Bowl with HIS name and all HIS own stats on them.  Coming off the plane in San Francisco in leopard spotted leggings.  Now he's pissy that he lost the biggest game of his life so he wants everyone to leave him alone.  Doesn't work like that.  I'm not saying he's not the franchise down there in Carolina but I guarantee you there's guys in that locker room questioning his leadership after last night.
