Scam Newton (why all the props?)

jnormand · 12-07-2011, 06:40 PM

Ok, being that the Saints have one more game against the Panthers this year, I have a question.

Why the hell does Scam Newton get so much attention for his rushing TD's? Ok he has an NFL record 13 this year, but how many of those have been from inside the 5 yard line? Last week he had rushing TD's of 1 yard, 1 yard and 2 yards. Big whoop. All I can see is he's taking the stat from his runningbacks. Maybe I'm being a little down on the guy because I can't stand him, but I'm just not intimidated by a guy who runs some TD's in from inside the 5 yard line.

Am I being to hard on him or is this justified?

Oh and one more thing....I hate Scam Newton.

Yea he can score a TD but can he do the tricky part?
Anyone remember this?

I think you're being a little hard on him j. He's having an outstanding rookie year especially for one with only a year(kinda sorta) under his belt.

I'm going with Papz on this one. I think you need to look at his throwing stats this season.

Now Tebow? Yeah, he's the rushing QB. I think Cam has better mechanics than Tebow.

Well Cam was drafted #1, so I hope so. In any case, he deserves the credit. I just wish Tebow and him could trade places.

I never ever liked Fignewton and never will. They make more out of him than he really is, I can't wait for a few years go by and his true colors come out. I'm just thankful he is not in a Saints uniform and prey he never will be.

I typed up a 3 paragraph reply on my laptop on why I also hate him, but alas, somone stole it.

The panthers and saints are the only teams with 3 400 yards rushers. The difference is that the panthers 3rd guy isn't a running back...it's cam newton

He's having a great season and he should win rookie of the year
