CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Panthers quarterback Cam Newton suggested for the first time Wednesday that race may play a factor in why he's become a lightning rod for public criticism.
"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.

He ought remember this is the NFL, where on any given Sunday, odds or not , bad juju can happen..
Ask the Bills and VIKES.
Field conditions could be a factor if El Neenyer delivers a big one prime time..
BS. I remember Randall Cunningham, and Cam Newton is no Randall Cunningham.
Moreover, if all goes well, in a few years Jameis Winston will be outplaying Cam, and it won’t be because he’s black either.

Coldplay doing the half-time show.
Not anymore if they can scamper
Newton thinks he is the Michael Jordan of football.
Newton thinks he is the Bath House of football.
Newton’s behavior is nothing but graceless, low-rent braggadocio.
That HGH sure made his wife lovelier than ever, ayy?
Play ball now,, litigate later I always say. ;-l
It would be ironic if Cam Newton ends up getting beaten by a Slow White Bronco...

Shut up and marry your girlfriend and maybe I’ll root for you; however, being so arrogant is the reason I stopped rooting for you and switched to Peyton Manning, even though I am a Bengals fan and Patriots fan and once lived in NC.
Can't imagine how he would have done if the Bucs had ever put an offensive line to protect him.
My first thought was that he looks like the Persian King in the movie 300.
So I take it you’ve got nothing from when you were 19 or 20 that you would be embarrassed for the world to know?
Because no one has ever second guessed or hurled nasty criticism at a quarterback before. It must be because he’s black.
There are plenty of egomaniacs to be compared to.
..I think OJ used to say something similar...
