LeBron James on Cam Newton: ‘He’s a rare talent’

You get a text from Cam Newton telling you that he needs you, well, you appreciate that.

15 minutes earlier, the talkative Bay Area native had to excuse herself from Opening Night at the Super Bowl to compose her emotions.

“I got to see how they watched film and how the communicate and how they see a play happen before it does”, Curry told Yahoo!’s Marc J. Spears. “He does a great job utilizing the personnel that we have around him”.

No, that is not what the Panthers are trying to do.

Newton was asked at Super Bowl 50 media day Monday if he sees himself as the LeBron James of the NFL.

The Panthers, despite their youth, are favored, mainly because there is so much skepticism that Manning can turn back the clock one more time.

“I still feel like I’m in la la land dreaming”. Newton quietly volunteers on Tuesdays throughout Charlotte during the season and is not above any player in his locker room. I’m in this position.

“What dancing after big plays?” Defenses aren’t sure if they’re defending a run or a pass. With some of Newton’s option reads, he doesn’t even know if he’s going to be running or passing until the middle of the play.

“If you look around at our team, everyone gets along and everyone has fun”, Kuechly said. We’re talking about a black Joe Namath in the making. And then he got cut by a lousy team, and recruited by “six or seven” other, better clubs. “It’s hard for me to give you like a direct answer without bringing both sides out”.

Cam Newton may divide opinion with his carefully choreographed touchdown routines but a consensus is rapidly building that the Carolina Panthers star may be the greatest dual threat quarterback the sport has ever seen.

The Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos each conducted their first formal practice of Super Bowl on Wednesday, which begins the final countdown to kickoff.

Newton doesn’t boast the sexy stats of an Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees, and he’s not an elite pocket passer like Manning or Brady – but he doesn’t need to be. “I think we have to understand what the situations and circumstances are within the game”. There really is no next game.

“We talked about things like that years ago, about how he could best meander through the biases and that he couldn’t use that as a crutch”.

Yet Newton’s admirers far outnumber his detractors, and there remains the suspicion of an underlying racial dimension to some of the criticism, the sense that as a black athlete, he is held to a different standard to white peers who celebrate touchdowns every bit as exuberantly, without drawing complaints. With the second pick, the Denver Broncos select Von Miller, linebacker, Texas A&M.

Before Sims in 2014, Andrew Zow was the last African American quarterback to start at Alabama, playing from 1998 to 2002.

“I’m happy”, Newton said. “I mean, it’s Cam Newton”.

Mitchell says Oher had a tough year last year with the Titans, but that the move to Carolina has been a good one, reuniting Oher with a former coach. “We just have to go out there and take advantage of it”. “He’d be a tight end”.

The 2015-2016 National Football League season has been dominated by the emergence of the Carolina Panthers as an elite franchise.

Just one year later, Scot was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a childhood cancer, in June 2012.

“I’m an African-American quarterback”, Newton said.

I think it’s his arrogance. “People look for anything they can find to say about somebody”.

“(Football) is something that you’re always going to be passionate about, something that you’ve always loved, going out there and getting paid for it, so why not enjoy it?” You have N.C. State.

Another reporter followed up and challenged Newton to back up his original comments.
