Cam Newton Responds to Critics, Speaks Out on Season & Press Conference Exit

Newton says he has no regrets about how he reacted Sunday after the Super Bowl loss to Denver, walking out during media availability.

Losing Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was in a nearby space inside Levi’s Stadium talking in a low voice to other reporters, and it appeared he could hear Harris clearly while he was answering questions. Who likes to lose? “You know, I’ll take some time to reflect, I got a couple of priorities first”.

“It’s not a popularity contest”. If the Broncos had failed to capture their third Super Bowl victory, Manning may have been more inclined to return to avoid going out with a 1-3 Super Bowl record. I have said it since day one, I am who I am.

So, what do you think of the Cam Newton interview walkout? “I want players who hate to lose”. I think DeMarcus Ware has had a tremendous effect on him, too. I’m glad I didn’t have to play them….

“I see numerous quarterbacks throw interceptions, and their effort afterwards, they don’t go”, he says. Yet, he was saying that people have no right to act as if they’ve never reacted similarly with people to which they didn’t want to talk.

“The game plan, the whole time, we knew, was that we had to contain Cam Newton”, Broncos linebacker Demarcus Ware said.

Oh, and he took the last part of his quote from Vince Lombardi, someone who knew a thing or two about winning. Newton at first moved toward the ball but didn’t dive for it. Newton said he thought his legs would have been oddly placed if he hit the turf.

“People are going to dissect things, and that’s fine”, Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen said Tuesday. As he was speaking, teammates stood around him, shouting “we love Cam”. “I mean that. We will be back”.

Peyton Manning hasn’t said yet whether 2015 will be his final season in the NFL. That’s what happens. As far as trying to be like this person, trying to be like that person… the truth of the matter is I’m not trying to be like this person. We can’t definitively state whether race played a role this time around. “We all handle defeat differently”. “I am my own person”, Newton explained reported by NFL.com.
