re: Quote from the losing QB

quote:

---

"It was a great measuring stick for who we are and where we have to go," Newton said. "The best thing about this is we have an opportunity to face this team again in two weeks. Those guys just were better than us today. Are they better than us? YES."

This would go over great in Saints land.

This would be a dumbass thing to say for any QB in any city any time whether true or not.

I say it makes him a dude who isn't lying while other guys are lying in this spot.

I get that, but that's not what we're talking about.

this is cam being a sore loser

this is what we're talking about

Look, I am all about being who you really are. Is Brees, Brady and manning FOS when they do QB speak? yes. But they are also keeping their composure. Cam couldn't make it through that press conference without letting his genuine feelings be known. So not only is he trying to do like these other guys, he is failing. one or the other.

that's just an observation, not a criticism

This is just my personal opinion/criticism. Brees thinks the saints are better than seattle, but he has the humility (it's not being full of shite) not to say something, and so defiantly I might add, minutes after getting his arse handed to him.



I guess to summarize:
It's great to have confidence. Cam doesn't come off as confident, he comes off as arrogant and emotionally unintelligent. It's either pretending to be an airplane in warmups/cheering on fights to piss off the crowd and players/doing anything to get attention or it is fricking pouting. The former is more annoying due to the latter. Be an arrogant prick when you're winning, who doesn't like that? Just show some humility when you get served.
