Newton could use a little more modesty and dignity

#39

Quote:In two different posts in this thread, I took Newton to task for not going after that fumble and said, that play aside, he was competitive.

 

Yes I have seen other losing QBs give post game press conferences.  I saw Cam Newton give his.  His answers were not particularly good, and he got up and walked out.

 

But he was true to himself with that response, for better or worse.  Just like you want him to face the music in victory or defeat, if we demand genuineness from our athletes (see:  Nawrocki's "fake smile" analysis), we (media and fans) also have to take the good with the bad.
 

If that's him being genuine then he should be prepared to face the criticism.  I've given Cam credit for having a lot more fun than most during games (and have also questioned going over the line at times), but he could have handled the press conference much better.  Simple as that.
