Cam Newton wants black QB issue put away for good
So it only makes sense that the festivities around it kicked off in the biggest way possible.
Not only did Cam Newton sign her son’s jersey, but he also gave her a new Super Bowl 50 jersey.
Newton, the irrepressible, buoyant spirit of the upstart Panthers, rocked a pair of zebra-print pants and a black leather hoodie as he disembarked the team plane that landed about an hour after Denver’s. But anything can happen, especially in the Super Bowl. But they all answered questions, joked, danced, and celebrated with almost 5,500 reporters from all over the United States and around the world.
Newton reminded Oher of his text recently. The Broncos quarterback doesn’t have the same arm he once did – he admitted it hasn’t been the same since his neck injury a few years ago – and to this, everybody nods their heads already having seen it on the field.
In his career, Manning has 431 rushing attempts for 667 yards and 18 touchdowns, per Pro-Football-Reference. “It’s just a tremendous honor to be even mentioned and affiliated with the face of the league, but yet I think I have bigger fish to fry on Sunday, and then we’ll worry about the rest of the eight to 10 years after that”.
“I think as a quarterback, I think it’s your job to prepare to have an appreciation and respect for the cerebral part of the game, try to find some type of edge, and for me I’ve always tried to find some type of edge from the cerebral part as a student of the game”, Manning said. And I understand there’s people out there, but what I said is true – this could be it and I’m aware it could be it. I wanted to tell both of them. Manning spends hours studying film, studying the game plan and sharpening the mental side of his game.
“Because when I go places and I talk to kids and I talk to parents and I talk to athletes all over, they look at my story and they see a person – African-American or not – they see something that they can relate to. He is one of the best ever”, said Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly. “If this is his last game, hopefully we can send him out the right way”.
Manning could match Elway’s ring total with a win Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. “He is on the other side – doesn’t matter”, said offensive guard Chris Scott.
Almost 7,000 football fanatics were in attendance at the SAP Center. “Super tough player to take down”, said Miller.
Fans also got to see the full range of insane characters that show up to Media Day. Others do it for, well, other reasons.
