The star quarterback walked out of his media duties in the aftermath of Sunday’s defeat at Levi’s Stadium, prompting criticism.
Still, Manning sells tickets and if he wants time to figure it out, the Broncos and the executive vice president of football/operations and general manager of the team John Elway said that the would let some time for the win to sink in.
Two days later, with the Carolina Panthers cleaning out their lockers, Newton spoke to the media and confirmed that notion. If they can’t reach a long-term deal with Miller, who likely will seek to become the highest-paid defensive player in the league, they can franchise tag him. “I’ve been on record to say I’m a sore loser, ” Newton said, declining to apologize. “I told Peyton before the game, I said, ‘Man, I want to win this for you.’ I’ve been feeling that way all year”.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton still has more to say. I think the important thing is is it’s going to be his decisions, and so where we get a chance to sit down and talk to him, and that why it’s up to Peyton to see that process.
Elway, who retired after the Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998, said that he really has a deep understanding of what Manning is going through.
“I know who I am and I’m not about to conform or bend for anybody’s expectations”. “I didn’t want to talk to the media at the time. I’ll be able to be with my brothers for eternity”, Miller said.
I was not completely mad at Newton for his comments about Denver’s play.
Backup quarterback Brock Osweiler signed footballs and threw them into the crowd as he rode by on another truck, while Annabel Bowlen, the wife of ailing Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, took a seat next to Miller.
Cam said he felt like his leg was in a bad position and might have gotten rolled in when asked about the fumble he didn’t dive for. “But we didn’t lose the game because of that fumble”.
During the clip, also on view below, Newton says, “Super Bowl 50, of all Super Bowls. Plus, we faced a lot of third-and-long plays, and that was a lot to overcome”.
“I think so”, Miller said.
“It’s not a popularity contest, I’m here to win football games”.
The first thing Newton said to the media after the game was, “We’ll be back”.
Manning endorsing a product should surprise no one, since we’ve seen number 18 appear in ads for Nationwide Insurance, Gatorade, MasterCard and plenty of other products.
“They don’t give you no medal for tryin'”, Cam/Opie points out. Me and my teammates and all my guys. The truth of the matter is we’ve got two losses. “We feel like we picked a good name and we were happy with it”, said Neel Smith.
It meant the world to longtime Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar, the centerpiece the team’s famed “Orange Crush” defense from the late 1970s.
