Was it only me that has come to the conclusion Cam Newton's teammates secretly hate this guy's guts. I'm sure they like winning....but .....two instances in yesterday's game showed me that this guy is despised.
1) Luke Kuechly takes an INT to the house and then exits up the side lines to be greeted by the over the top/camera mugging Newton screaming like a camera mugging/its all about me jagoff......and Kuechly plus two other defenders looked at him like Newton was the biggest A-hole on the planet.
2) Newton scores his obligatory "screw my teammates I'm gonna run it in for the score TD" followed by the camera mugging dance number....while ONLY two OL wait in the wings to join in....but of course Cam the camera mugging/its all about me jagoff ignores the OL....doesn't even acknowledge their existence....and runs off to mug for the crowd/cameras...etc. He then proceed to the Panthers bench where he ignored teammates he passed (one high five) and players didn't bother to go over and show any love.
Maybe I'm seeing what I want to see.......a self promoting jackass.......but I know I'd hate being this guy's teammate anytime but game time. And even then. I bet the defense resents the over the top publicity Newton gets when it is the great Defense that allows this ultra conservative Panther's offense to not have to play beyond their limitations.
They have a great defense. But I would take SEA's in 2014 and especially 2013 over them.
On another note - looks like this thread caught the attention of the Panthers board

if they are going to lose it will be @ New Orleans.
The advantage Carolina has over NE right now is they are healthy.
I'm real impressed with Carolina being 11-0. I think the last 15 years the Patriots have had the most dominant stretch the NFL has ever seen. The fact that it is in the salary cap era makes it more impressive. During this time, the pats have only started the season 11-0 one time so I'm real impressed with Carolina being 11-0 and I think it shouldn't be dismissed. Parcels said, "you are what your record says you are." Hopefully the pats win Sunday to gain another game toward the bye.
Yawn...don't give them the attention they don't deserve. This team will be one and done.
I think the question about how good an 11-0 team is should be a bit rhetorical. However they seemed to get there, they're doing a decent job with 5 games left in the regular season.
Are they the 2007 Patriots or the 1985 Bears? No, but they certainly pose a threat to anyone they face. As you mention, it's still quite possible that someone beats them in the postseason, which goes just the same for us. The fact that they'll almost certainly have HFA, or at least a bye, obviously helps their cause. You can only play who's on the schedule, so we've seen teams coast a bit into the conference championship by winning one postseason game at home.
They seem to have some decent offensive balance with the ability to run the ball, use the read option, and throw to no name receivers (with Olsen the obvious main weapon). The defense is very, very good. I can understand the comparisons to the Seahawks, who would tend to use the same kind of recipe, even though their schedule was weak like last season.
Some idiot on there just said "We were 2 TDs better than them in the pre-season if our WR could catch".
I can't stop laughing at that.
Also, there's typical ignorant "lololol they can beat us unless they film r practizes lololol" comments
I saw what I saw....I guy who has no interest sharing the spotlight.I think you're seeing what you want to see. What is so bad about seeing football players having fun? I wish more players did it. And that the nfl would lighten up on celebrations. You are being ridiculous if you think his teammates hate him cause he's scoring TDs. Any teammates that feel that way are the ones being self centered jackasses. I mean how many times have we seen Brady piggy back his receivers after they score. Or run across the field screaming after a TD. We've seen Gronk dance in the endzone several times or play up for the cameras after scoring. Remember Brady's lonely high fives from 2 seasons ago. Guess they hated him as well.
Best team in Football right now. They will host the NFCCG. Very deep and no weaknesses to speak of right now.
