Charles Barkley: Auburn ‘paying’ Cam Newton ‘was a good investment’

Cam Newton says he’s not changing. And if you got a bit deeper on that Top 50, defensive tackle Star Lotulelei was a first-rounder in 2013 and is a key on Newton’s Panthers team.

“I’m an African-American quarterback that scares people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to”, said the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Newton. I don’t think people have seen what I am or what I’m trying to do, and I said that prior to me being in this situation.

That includes a repertoire of on-field dances and celebrations, posing for pictures on the sideline, and, after a divisional win against the Seahawks, yanking a “12” flag from a Seattle fan during a post-game celebration at Bank of America Stadium and throwing it to the ground. “More about what you have accomplished, what you have done”. “I think we are all guilty of it at times, but if we look in the mirror or look in our own closet, we see that we’re not ideal”.

“Yet, people are going to say what they’re going to say”.

While the Panthers will work hard leading into the Super Bowl, don’t expect them to slow down and eliminate the fun factor that they have been known for throughout the season, especially with a quarterback like Cam Newton. Some expressed their annoyance with what they said was the 26-year-old quarterback’s “arrogance” or his “classlessness” every time he celebrates a touchdown.

“I say we ban Andrew’s petition and ban him, while also banning any other bandwagon fan that tries to create any other dumb petitions”, Murray said.

“People should be scared of a quarterback with his skill set, because that’s who he is”, Rivera said. I still don’t get why he has to (be criticized). “We really just can’t appreciate the greatness of Peyton and clearly Cam is on the track to become one of the greatest players ever”. “I think that is what drives him, to be able to transcend those boundaries, which I think is great”. There is a lot of money involved, but at the end of the day it’s about entertainment.

“Find any way to win a football game”, Newton said, “because when you win, that gives them something else to talk about”. He added the true fans will still support the team no matter what happens against the Broncos on February 7. “People are going to have their own opinions on certain things that I don’t have control over, nor does anyone else”.

But Newton claimed there is no change in approach, and said that’s a big reason the Panthers are still around.
