Even more proof Newton is a Tool... - Lt.Fro - 12-05-2012 05:41 PM
On second thought hes the whole damn shed. Apparently at this past Pro Bowl he wouldn't take pictures with a players family and dissed Ray Lewis.
Check out this column by Pete Prisco. It might shed some light on why Carolina quarterback Cam Newton has struggled in his second season, after putting together a record-setting rookie season.
Newton
Newton
Prisco writes that Newton came across as arrogant and distant to other players at last season’s Pro Bowl. He reportedly refused to sign an autograph and pose for a picture with the family of another player. Prisco also reports that Newton dissed veteran Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis.
Putting two and two together (and getting some players to confirm it), Prisco also writes that the AFC defense went hard after Newton in a game that usually is very mild.
Some people have said Newton is shy, but that wasn’t the impression he gave at the Pro Bowl.
"Look, it was his first Pro Bowl, so he should have come and acted humble," one AFC player told Prisco. "But he didn't. He acted like he was better than us."
What does last season’s Pro Bowl have to do with what’s happening with Newton and the Panthers this season?
Perhaps a lot. If Newton’s teammates perceive him the same way the players at the Pro Bowl did, he might not be a popular figure in the locker room. If your quarterback isn’t popular in the locker room, that’s never a good thing.
That (as well as a bad defense) might be a major reason why the Panthers are 3-9.

What an douche nozzle. I really hope we bring it to him hard on Sunday and wipe the floor with the panties. GO Falcons RISE UP

I can almost bring myself to pull for y'all against that asswipe. Probably not, but there are a few more days left for me to mellow.

I am getting really sick of hearing how bad the Carolina defense is as the "excuse" for why they're losing. The Panthers are 14th in the NFL in total defense. They're 20th in points. The Panthers have lost games in which they've given up 16, 16, 19 and 23 points.

I'm disappointed at his total inability to act like an adult or professional in the NFL, but I'll always look back to his 2010 season with fond memories.

I have never been a fan of Newton. But I do have one question, when we win on Sunday is Ryan allowed to say get the Fuck off my field again?

The guy is proving to be more and more of a tool, with his head under a towel and being a little bitch in general.

Might as well, at this point it doesn't affect the Saints if the Falcons win.

Not against the Panties it doesn't. But, damn, it would feel so weird. I'm really not sure if I can handle it.

You need to root for the Falcons else the Saints might yet come in last in the division. Of course if you have already flipped to the "suck on purpose to improve our draft status" strategy, then you can root for the Panthers.
