According to Yahoo News on Tuesday Cam Newton reported that he does not want to be seen as a Great Football player. Cam said he wants to be seen as an entertainer and an Icon god has given him this platform. Cams dad took him to a school out in the middle of nowhere and told him you can make this situation a dream or you can make it a nightmare. Cam said that was his fire under his but that’s what gave him the drive to be where he is today. Cam knows that when he gets into the NFL things will change he isn’t just going to take over the AFC like he did the SEC.
I do not like the attitude that Cam Newton has you always have to be confident but the NFL scouts will not like that he said he want to be an entertainer and icon. The scouts would have loved it if Cam would have said I want to be a great football player. Some scouts will not take the chance because of what he said.
Will Cam Newton last? Only time will tell if he will be another Jamarcus Russell or not. I kind of don’t like the choice that Cam made by going to the Draft he should have stayed one last year to gain the experience and get a degree. I know you can always get a degree later but I really thing Cam isn’t ready for the NFL but I can see from his point of view too that’s a lot of money.
I am really curious to see what ends up happening to Cam Newton. I really hope that he doesn’t end up being another Jamarcus Russell that would be a disappointer. So the real question is will Cam be a Entertainer and icon or will he be a repeat of another player?
It sounds like he is in the wrong field if he wants to be an entertainer or an icon. If you want to be a pro football player, use some common sense that is not what you say haha.
ReplyDeleteI think he is a good athlete, but I think that his father has instilled a pis poor attitude in him. Listen, he has a gift with football, but there isn't much more room in the NFL for another cocky 20 year old millionaire. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMonty,
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to predict what the outcome will be for Newton. What I mean is that he really is a good football player and a star athelete and I think that no matter what he says, it probably won't make much of a dent in his career. Millions of people love football and we all love it because it's something that entertains us, so who's to say he is wrong? What if he ment that comment for us to view it as that he is here to entertain us with his fanastic football quality. He may have meant to be cocky when he said it, or he might not have, but all I can say is that he knows he has got the star quality that everybody wants in a football player. I just hope he doesn't play crappy from now on or else his cocky comment will be getting him some puns thrown his way! Don't count your chickens before they hatch, Cam!
