Why do has it been forgotten that he was removed from the Florida team for stealing a computer. Actually, that's incorrect. The laptop incident was pretty much swept away (remember Urban Meyer was the coach then). The reason Cam bolted UF was because he was about to get investigated for Academic Fraud, which would have ended his eligibility to play in college, so he left, before the investigation began.

But I can't think of any other quarterbacks out there who would likely have acted much different had they been in Newton's place. Russell Wilson. See: SB 49.

There was another play where his running back reversed field and came back to the other sideline.
Newton was standing there, and I said aloud, “C’mon Cam get out in front of him and block.”
Newton’s a big QB, and I’m sure he could have made a difference for his guy working in a broken field.
Does he have a Joe Namath clause in his contract? The one which forbade Namath rorm making tackles, even if he’d just thrown and interception.

According to Cam: I'm an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven't seen nothing that they can compare me to.
Nope, never seen nothing like him, not Russel Wilson, not Michael Vick, not Donovan McNabb, not Daunte Culpeper, not Steve McNair, not Randall Cunningham, not Warren Moon.
Whitey just can't process this unicorn that is Cam.

I disagree. He has great physical attributes but he’s not the most talented quarterback out there. Up until this year his teams were 6-10, 7-9, 12-4, 7-8, 15-1. He has a career 59.6% completion percentage, throws 1 interception for every 2 TD and a career passer rating of 88.3.
I fully expected him to play like he did last night against the Seahawks or the Cardinals. Once he gets stuck in a game he gets into trouble.

Oh brother Seattle has a black quarterback but he seems mature. Maturity is why Cam is being questioned.
To: napscoordinator
Cam would be wise to look at what has happened to Kaepernick to see his future.

It ainât just Cam...there are several wide-outs that simply step out instead of getting hit.
Unless you need a first down, stepping out is the better move. It limits the chances for turnovers and injuries and allows for a potential late hit that would tack on 15 yards. In Cam's case, however, you have to jump on that ball and risk injury because that's the ballgame.

I'm an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven't seen nothing that they can compare me to. That's Willie Beamen's line from Any Given Sunday.

Another way to put it is Cam has a low Emotional IQ. Nothing to do with race.

Michael Orr and Michael Strahan never act like this. Orr still plays. Strahan retired but never did this childish stuff.
just to add to your already great list.

Young bragadocious African-American Quarterback got his ass kicked by an old white guy. Actually it got kicked by a bunch of black guys on Denver's defense.

I suppose we ought be grateful he didn’t start shooting people in the interview room, as they tend to do when pissed at the world for their own problems. Maybe him pouting and storming off mid interviews is the best we can expect from the best nfl black quarterback.

And boosters paid this flake $180K to come to Auburn while he was still in Jr. College learning how to hold a crayon? Classy.

I disagree if you meant Manning. If you meant Wade Phillips, then you are right because the young braggart was really beat by that defense.
