The season was over and there wasn't one thing he could say that would matter or change anything. The questions were stupid and the timing wasn't right. Oh well... LOL

Well... I guess we'll just disagree on this one. I get everything you're saying, but after watching hundreds of interviews with superbowl losing players, I haven't seen this before. I'd like to see a guy who's all about himself have a better showing when it matters. And I'm not talking about his on-field play. Answering questions in August doesn't change anything either. It's just part of their job.

Anyone remember how Steve Smith went off on Cam a few years ago ? ... http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/84...ack-cam-newton

the real Cam was on display yesterday. By the third he was disgusted and appeared to have given up by the body language he had on the side lines and the field. He took a pounding and could not handle it. Saints MO for years was hit Cam soon and often to rattle his cage. Denver did just that.

now after the game he was a baby. media wants to defend it so be it. Does not change a thing. BABY

He came a lone way as a player but still has a long way to go to being a man.

My last rant on Cam ...

Take the yoke of responsibility even in defeat. Remember how horribly Carson Palmer played against the Kittens 2 weeks ago? He faced the music & answered tough questions post game. By talking to the media, you (Cam) as a QB provide a shield to your team. Do what you must, do it with a square jaw. His press conference was a total of 2 minutes

.

By walking off the way Cam did, he opened himself up to even more criticism.

I hear you brother but it's a lot easier to look like a leader when things are great.

How many here defended Mike Smith every time he had a hissy fit and threw his headphones to the ground during a game?

Just wondering.

His red face was very funny

There have been 49 Super Bowl losing QB's prior to Cam. He's the only one that I can remember that walked off during the post-game presser. If you can dab and smile and hand out balls to kids when you're winning, but act like this when you lose, then what you really are is a PUNK.
