And so it starts. Smith unhappy with Panthers QB Cam Newton
 
Panthers WR Steve Smith unhappy with QB Cam Newton - Yahoo! Sports

We all knew this would happen sooner or later but I figured it would be a little later in the season. Looks like the Giants had the Panthers college style scheme pegged. Its just a matter of time before teams have enough tape on them to make them irrelevant once again. We have them in the Dome next time and will have their number. Look for a beat down next time we play them.

Re: And so it starts. Smith unhappy with Panthers QB Cam Newton
 
I was actually wondering how long it was going to take, too. NFL have enough tape on Newton and the Panthers to contain them (of course, we couldn't). Hell, the Giants shut them completely down with the exception of that one garbage time TD. Tampa contained him, as well. Newton had a magical rookie season, but he is showing his immaturity early on this year and still has a lot to learn about the NFL. However, their defense isn't that great, either. We made them look better than they really are, they played horribly offensively, and we still scored 27 points on them. I still think Steve Smith is a thug, but maybe if he punched Newton in the eye, then this time it would be justified.

*Side note: Ryan Khalil may want to retract his newspaper Super Bowl ad pretty quickly.

Giants did a good job on the Panthers! Cam looked like he was sitting there at the end of the NFL.com high lights clip thinking, what the hell happened there!

What a difference from his last game!

Hope we can nail em when they come to the Dome!!!!!!

I cannot think of anyone better qualified than Smith at calling someone a whiny punk ass. It's his area of expertise.

Funny how last week Cam was the media golden boy but this week they are ragging on him horribly. Just goes to show how wishy washy they are.

How anyone can rag on other teams with the performance of ours is beyond me.

I have no problem with Smith in this case. Cam was pouting. When Smith gets upset he gets pissed and you can see the energy. Have we ever seen Smith pouting on the bench?

I'm not a fan of Steve Smith, but good for him. Tell that kid to suck it up, to stand up, to support the TEAM and make himself better. And after watching us for a couple weeks, with the exception of PT and Jimmy, we could use some Steve Smith fire on the sideline.

Seeing as this team could ruin our chances for a playoff spot, I say the more they implode the better.

As much as I despise Steve Smith, I must agree that I wish our offense would play with more fire.

This may be a good time to activate Ivory. I still think Ingram is the better RB, but Ivory runs like he hates every fibre of your puny little existence. It may be time to add a pinch of attitude to our roux.

Cam ( the sham ) Newton, showing his true colors

Smith was right to do that. When things get bad, Cam holds his head down too much.

He can smell his own ... :)

Dissension in the Panthers ranks is always good news for us. I hope it turns into McNabb / Owens!

Cam Newton is the next great NFL QB. Yeah, dude wears his emotions on his sleeves, and hates loosing. In the end, Cam is going to turn around that Panthers team. It was a great thing that Steve Smith gave him an attitude adjustment. Smith has been there thick and thin and understands the NFL. Cam Newton is still a very young QB who is still feeling his way. In all, he is a true franchise QB still in infancy. Future is very bright in Carolina these days.

Steve Smith is the sort of player everybody hates,unless he is on your team,then you love him.He really gets on my nerves but you have to respect him as a player.
Newton on the other hand is all about ME,I WANT TO WIN,I ANT TO BE CENTRE OF ATTENTION.

It's all amusing as during the week he was saying in interviews."I'll pass,Run,block,tackle do anything the team needs me to do,if it needs me to go and carry water I'll do that aswell".

He isn't the player I'd want with me in the trenches if things were not going well,give me a less talented QB with heart,one who can inspire those around them to pick up their game.

The last thing I would try on this board is to talk up the 'queens, but when I see Christian Ponder play, this is what I think. Little less talented but man that kid has heart and you can tell he hates losing.

Cam would do well to take a look up north for a little attitudinal adjustment. He's got the tools, no doubt, he just whines and pouts like a little girl who didn't get that pony for her bday again this year

I don't think Smith says anything to him if he doesn't strike that Superman pose when he's still down by a few scores. Newton appears to be spoiled and not use to things not going his way when it comes to football. He better learn and learn quick or he may not make it in the NFL...not because of the talent but because he could become yet another head case.

Yep, did you see how pouty he looked on the sidelines during the Giants game? Leaders don't sulk.

Yep. He's got some learning to do. It kinda reminds me of the Vince Young situation.

He needs to grow up. For our sake I hope he dosen't

I gotta' agree with you on Ponder, he looked like a champ against SFran. Still early in the season and plenty of time for him to implode, but if I had him on a fantasy team, I'd start him next week against Detroit. I got an ugly feeling about that game.

Cam is reminding me of those players who had an easy time excelling at the high school/college levels and grew up with their parents/coaches telling them how great they were. Playing in the big leagues is frustrating for guys like this because they're not used to facing adversity and the level of play is so much higher, they become just one of the guys and not the center of attention ... hence the pouting.

lee909 09-26-2012 06:22 AM

I have Rudolph in a couple of leagues so I'm hoping he keeps looking his way.
Got to give them credit for how they have played so far.The Peterson comeback would have done wonders for the players confidence.
