T master Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Although there eis a lot of huge ego's in the NFL there is one player that stands out to me & although i agree he is very talented i could never stand him from the first time i saw his signature move that he planned in college for when he made it to the NFL . His move is his Superman ripping open his shirt & he is CAM I can't stand the guy ! And now that they are winning it's even worse with his big production end zone dances & such ... What ever happened to being humble when you score ? Andre never use to dance, Thurmon never danced, Emmit never danced, Rice never danced ! It's all about being a show boat now, the NFL has changes so much . I wish some of todays players would take a lesson from the greats that came before them . Favre's enthusiasm was totally different than what they do today, today it is a staged well thought out plan of their celebration but when Brett scored he was just happy like a kid would be these guys today are ridiculous !! And Cam IMHO leads the way with a ridiculous celebration & other antics !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinii Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 If we were 11-0 you wouldn't care if Cam pulled a cell phone out of Joe Horn's ear and called your mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) I love Cam Newton - the guy has a blast playing football and I don't have an issue with his celebrations. He deserves to live it up. Edited December 3, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Cam IMHO leads the way with a ridiculous celebration & other antics !! I don't think Cam is really egotistical I just think that he brings a youthfulness to the league and he's winning while he's doing it. Yeah he does the superman thing but and he dances in the end zone but I don't think that necessarily means that he's egotistical. Sometimes the guys who don't do anything at all are the biggest ones with the ego's. I think JJ Watt has one of the biggest ego's actually, O'dell Beckman Jr, Dez Bryant, and Jerry Jones are probably at the top of the list for me.

xsoldier54 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Rex Ryan, hands down. His continued belief that he is an exceptional coach despite the reality of his record tells me he is a pure egomaniac. I was all for this hire, but that was before I witnessed how his teams perform on a weekly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I never really understood why people get so worked up about someone dancing or celebrating a TD. Who cares? If you don't want a guy to dance in the end zone or after a sack or whatever, stop the play!!! Are you a better person because you hand the ball to the official and jog to the sideline instead of posing like Superman and handing the ball to a kid??? Do we not like Fred Jackson anymore because of his showboating "Infredible Hulk" routine??? Is the Gronk spike a problem or is he just having fun? Maybe it is a generational thing (I hope) but it is really misguided IMO. Having fun and celebrating is NOT what is wrong with the NFL. Domestic violence, concussions, etc... are where we should focus our venom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Cam is the biggest ME player on the planet Why Cam's teammates can't get enough Why does Cam Newton's persona play so well with the Carolina Panthers? Jeff Darlington finds out from those on the inside -- including one ex-opponent who's done an about-face on the QB. Panthers safety Roman Harper used to be like the rest of them. Back when Harper played for the rival Saints, during Newton's first three seasons in the NFL, he used to look at the Carolina quarterback with those same rolling eyes adopted by so many more this year. So yes, he gets it. Yes, he understands the skepticism and the misperceptions. He understands, for those outside Charlotte who can't decide how to feel about Newton, why a guy like him, seemingly just trying to have some fun, manages to come across the wrong way. "Before I got here?" Harper said Wednesday. "I didn't know him. But I thought he was selfish. I thought he was all about himself. Things like that. Before I got here, my opinion wasn't that great, either. But that's because I didn't know him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Although he isn't technically in the NFL anymore, anybody who asks his players to carry him off the field after a win against his former team, has a pretty big ego.

Maybe it is a generational thing (I hope) but it is really misguided IMO. Having fun and celebrating is NOT what is wrong with the NFL. Domestic violence, concussions, etc... are where we should focus our venom. Maybe not better, but certainly a little more mature. IMO a grown man doing a dance every time he does something he's paid to do is pretty silly. I don't have a problem with it because I don't really care, but also find it hard to understand how another grown man watching the game would get excited about it or think it was 'great'. I always thought the Fred Jackson thing was a little ridiculous for a guy who was supposed to be a leader of men. Of course, the league penalizing the team and potentially changing the outcome of the game because of such displays is even sillier, although that seems to have become less frequent since the Stevie Johnson days.

Although I hate seeing it after anything that's not a touchdown, or a HUGE defensive play. Personally, I just think that's the coolest thing you can do. "Act like you've been there before." As if scoring a touchdown is just something that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
