Cam
Newton has put himself in a situation that he shouldn’t even be in with his
comments made following the 19-14 defeat by the hands of the Dallas Cowboys
Sunday in Bank of America Stadium.
"I'm going to bring in a suggestion box. And I want your
suggestions in that suggestion box, because I sure don't know. I really don't,"
said Newton.
Newton,
is going through what many foresaw would happen, that he’d hit a “Sophomore
Slump”, and he’s not handling it well. Last season, Newton took the world by
storm arguably having one of the best if not the best rookie season statistics wise.
Now have the tables turned dramatically.
The
Panthers struggles all aren’t on Newton, Coach Rivera and the rest of the
coaching staff definitely are taking some heat as well. What the question now
is how will Newton respond? The Panthers have lost seven straight games by
seven points or fewer, and the frustration has been more than evident. Even
Deangelo Williams is feeling it, he went to Twitter to vent retweeting tweets
sent by fans questioning the play calling and lack of touches.
What
Cam needs to do is shake this off and find a way to win games, it’s that
simple. As the leader of a franchise you can’t have this “Woe is me attitude”
after you throw an interception or take a bad loss. He needs to get that
swagger back that he had last season, tune out the media and play football.
What
I do know is this, Cam will either be the player people saw at Auburn and
respond well to the adversity or he’ll succumb to the pressure. Which one will
it be Cam?
