I am a Denver/Manning fan. I think this shows Cam to be a good person. On or off the field.
He did, and congratulated him on a well deserved win.
FR has turned into a forum of hate.
I noticed that too, but here’s what struck me: the game is over, and even between series Newton always primps himself with his towel - always. Now here, five minutes after the game and he still has his helmet on. It was like he was trying to hide.
It is not that Cam said nothing and answered no questions. He was upset, and he did not want to go into the details the meida wanted.
That appears to be the issue.
I do think he needs to mature...and I do think that he was set back on his heels by they strength of the Denver defense and pass rush. But heck...he's young.
My biggest issue with Cam remains the way he interjected race into the discussion a week or two before the game when it was wholly unnecessary.
But he actually did answer Press questions last nght. Here's the full transcript:
What's your message to Panthers fans? "We'll be back."Now, that's not nearly as bad as I was led to believe.
Ron [Rivera] said Denver two years ago had a tough time and they bounced back. Do you take that to heart? "No."
Can you put a finger on why Carolina didn't play the way it normally plays? "Got outplayed."
Is there a reason why? "Got outplayed, bro."
Was it pretty much what you had seen on film from Denver? Anything different they put in for this game? "Nothing different."
Do we sometimes forget that defenses can still take apart the offenses in this game? "No."
What did Ron Rivera say after the game? "He told us a lot of things."
Anything in particular that was memorable? "Nope."
Obviously you're disappointed. On the biggest stage it's difficult, I know. [nods head]
Did you see anything that you didn't expect tonight? "They just played better than us. I don't know what you want me to say. They made more plays than us, and that's what it comes down to. We had our opportunities. It wasn't nothing special that they did. We dropped balls, we turned the ball over, gave up sacks, threw errant passes. That's it. They scored more points than us."
Can you put into words the disappointment you feel right now? "We lost."
Did Denver change anything defensively to take away your running lanes? "No."
I know you're disappointed not just for yourself, but for your teammates. It's got to be real tough. [shakes head] "I'm done man."
