Cam Newton defends actions after Super Bowl: I will not conform
“Important thing is, it’s going to be his decision”, Elway said.
Newton also said that a person who likes to lose is a loser.
“I didn’t get the fumble, but we can play tit-for-tat”, Newton said.
Newton said “that’s cool” if he offended anyone by walking out, but he won’t change his personality. Thirteen of 23 for 141 yards compared with Cam Newton’s 18 of 41 for 265. 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.
Speaking with the media is optional on exit day at the end of the season, but Newton wanted to address the criticism directed at him since then. This year is different. Rivera said there’s a lot of guys who have reacted the same way in post game losses. The locker room won’t be the same.
One player who believes that Manning will not retire is teammate and Super Bowl 50 most valuable player Von Milller, via Sporting News. “It was a matter of him channeling all of his talents in the right way and I think you saw him do that this year”. How would he have handled it? Would we have seen this person do that?
Understandably, Newton was angry and emotional after such a devastating defeat and didn’t really want answer questions from the media. “I like Cam. I’m not going to blast Cam”. “I didn’t want to talk to the media at the time. But at the end of the day, that game wasn’t built off of, we didn’t lose the game because of that fumble, I can tell you that”. “He still has the physical ability and the mental ability to go out there and be great, so I still think he’s got a little bit left in him”.
“I’ve heard numerous quotes about, ‘What if this person was in this situation?”
I doubt it, but Newton – in my opinion – has too many “me moments” and forgets this isn’t about him. “We all handle defeat differently and it’s hard, so understand that everybody reacts differently”. It happened. It happened. Back before the Broncos kicked off the 2015 season against the Ravens, I wrote a piece on five predictions for the season. I am happy to say that. I never proclaimed that I was ideal.
“You can condemn me and say, “Well, he gave up, ‘ ” Newton said”.
