I am not a Cam fan but agree with you that he is not a dbag! I hate his antics on the field but off the field he is a very impressive individual. The whole 12th man flag thing has been blown out of proportion. I get why the Packer fans were pissed but someone put a small 12th man flag in his face and he grabbed it and threw it down.......again, someone stuck it in his face. He did not go grab it from someone! I would have a problem if he grabbed one of the full size flags off the rail (and took someone's personal property) and then did something disrespectful but he didn't. Some people are also acting like disrespecting the 12 is like disrespecting the American. I have a 12th man flag in my living room but it is just a symbol of the team I cheer for, it really means nothing outside of that.Rob12":331yvg35 said:TwistedHusky":331yvg35 said:Sure, the Panthers QB is a dbag, but I honestly think it isn't really his fault since I don't think he is smart enough to know better.
Why is Cam Newton a douche bag? I'm honestly just asking. The dude does an enormous of work in the community, and gives football to kids after each Panthers touchdown. He doesn't get in trouble with the law. He seems to be a pretty stand up guy. People hate him or call him a douche bag because he's not our QB, and I get that. But he's plenty smart enough to know better, and he just doesn't care what some Seahawks fans think of him nearly 3,000 miles away. He's smart enough to have shredded our defense twice in one season. I was at the Panthers game this season at the Clink, and what he did to our defense in the 4th Quarter is something that I can't ever remember happening before. And then, he hangs up 24 points in the first half in the Divisional Round against us.
I'm not trying to be argumentative; I'm just genuinely curious how Cam Newton is a douche. Is it because he just beat a team in the playoffs that he has struggled against his whole career, and secured a spot in a cake walk NFC Championship Game? In the video, it's clear as day that a Seahawks fan handed him the flag. We were defending Richard Sherman for the same thing when he went on his post game scream session after we beat the 49ers in the NFCCG in 2013. Emotions and adrenaline tend to run high in those situations... Cam did what many of us would have done, and that's take the 12 flag and throw it to the ground. It's his house, after all. The best way to keep his playful antics in check is to smoke him out next season, like this team is more than capable of doing.
As for all the people saying Cam is such a horrible person we might want to look at our own players antics. Let's look at Michael Bennetts interviews. We know he is a good guy but he doesn't always portray that. How about Baldwin acting like he is pooping on the field during the Super Bowl and Marshawn's antics. We loved Golden Tate but his behavior was less than classy. Cam drives me crazy but he definitely is not a Dbag!
