Cam Newton Telling It Like It Is? Blames Jamarcus and VY

[wheeler281]

"I can't sit up here and look at it like, oh man, my critics are racist," Newton says. "I blame JaMarcus Russell and to some degree Vince Young. If you have the opportunity to make that kind of money doing something you love to do, why would you screw it up? I'm trying to be a trailblazer. If Baylor's Robert Griffin decides to come out, I want people to say 'He can be the next Cam Newton' instead of 'He's gonna be the next JaMarcus Russell.'"



Cam Newton Blames JaMarcus Russell And Vince Young For The Disrespect He Gets

[gladdyontherise]

I like the honesty. He's right as well, although to be fair his play at Auburn had everyone assuming that kind of play wouldn't translate. Most of us were very wrong.

[B.I.G.Poppa]

Not only is he a beast, but a smart person as well. I like the young man.

[bobjah]

Great smart guy superstar allready

[bakemeister52]

I like him already and I think he will be a good player for awhile in the NFC!

[chris_brown]

he needs to lay the hell off Vince Young,Young didnt fail at anything other than the fact his playing style made him brittle,it wasnt for a lack of talent on Young's part,if Newton's not careful,his personality'll lead him down the same path Russell took in Oakland

I have to agree with u to a point. Young didn't want to listen to his coaches, at least that is what has been said. Not jumping on the Newton wagon as of yet, it has been only 1 season. Next year will be a little bit better of assesment on whether or not if he is the real deal.

Give Cam a couple years then see what he says!

well young did get a little crazy with the suicide deal and all. He had major sideline issues too. SO I have no issues grouping him in. Let alone his play even this year was not even on a varsity level

[tndcollectables]

i still say give cam a couple of yrs and we will c if he is the real deal. right now he is a culpepper wanna be.

[wheeler281]

Oh Man if only culpepper had his running ability. Moss and Moore made Daunte look good IMO

[tndcollectables]

culpepper could run, he just couldnt hold on to the ball. more moss and carter made him look good, really good. oh man the days of old, hmmmmmmm, wish they were back again.
