Five years ago the Carolina Panthers drafted Cam Newton the often troubled quarter back Who had just led his college team Auburn University to the football national championship. His athletic ability was not questioned. His baggage was his question. One year on the field at the University of Florida backing up future Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebo.
The first game his sophomore season a broken ankle led to a red shirt season. Then a stolen personal computer of a Florida student that was in Cam Newton's room until the police knocking on his door found The computer thrown out his dorm window now on the ground.
Off to Binn Junior College where Newton would Win the National Juco championship become a Juco All American and now being heavily recruited for his final two years of college. Newton chose Auburn but Mississippi State alleges that Newton's Father was asking between 120,000 to 180,000 dollars for Cam to play for them. His only year at Auburn the Tigers win the National Championship.
The Carolina Panthers with the worse record in 2010 have the number one pick. The question do you
Pick the best player or do you pass on him because of his past. The ultra conservative Panthers picked the best player Cam Newton.
His rookie season is named rookie of the year. He passed for over 4,000 yards and rushed for 700.. Three times he has played in the Pro Bowl and this year he is the NFL Player of the Year. They say about many players that they have IT. Is there any doubt that Cam Newton whether it his ability as an athlete or his leadership qualities Cam Newton has it.
Newton is suppose to be the proto type West Coast Offense quarterback. His five years the Panther offense has evolved into the Cam Newton proto type offense. He still throws too much off his back foot and when he does throw an interception like his only one in the NFC championship was an over throw. His power despite his only flawed he can overcome . His speed can out run any linebacker and when needed he can run over any defensive player on the field.
Other than snatching down Packer Banners or throwing away the 12th Man Seattle flags when was the last time you heard Cam Newton do any thing that would get him in trouble. He has become the leader that no one in the league envisioned he could be. He leads the high fives to fans along the first row and now every touchdown the cameras follow his run to the first row where eager young fans wait for the Cam's Touchdown football.
The Panther have won the NFL South division for three straight years and 2016 Cam Newton may be leading the Panthers to their first Super Bowl ever. If it happens the Panthers will pass almost half the NFL teams that have never won it.
There are those who still say Cam is not good for the game with his antics. Monday when the numbers come out I think you will find Cam will be leading the Panthers first Super Bowl win Ever and it will be the most watch ever. Cam either you love him or hate him and you will see that they will watch him. Panthers 27-7 Go Panthers!!!!!!
