According to the Charlotte Observer:

quote:

Steve Smith, when Cam sat on bench after he was benched, said he lit into Newton with "unchoice words"

Smith was unhappy Newton didn't stand on sideline and watch, absorb like Derek Anderson and Jimmy Clausen have done "for the last 20 games."

Smith said he's more concerned about development of Newton as a man, than a leader, saying leadership is a process.

Second time in as many seasons Panthers captains have had to address Newton's demeanor. @RyanKalil and Jordan Gross did it late last season.

Cam got benched? I didnt watch that far lulz


Smith is right though. The pouting on the bench thing is bullshite and sends the wrong message to the team, not even TTsTowel can deny that

Damn this really ties into the debate going on in the other Cam thread. Wow.

Very interested to see how Cam responds...

Cam wasn't benched. The game was over. No reason to get Ace Boogie hurt, yo.

Is Cam gay? Serious question. Comes off that way at times.

Damn I stopped watching pretty early in the game but it must have gotten pretty heated. Cam is so talented and obviously he is a much better player but it would be a shame to see a vince young type situation happen to him.

Umm Steve Smith isn't the guy to be correcting somebody about a bad attitude. But cam was being a pouty bitch in the post game conference last night. Poor body language, made it pretty obvious he didn't want to be there, gave shitty answers.

Losses happen. As the face of the team, you need to nut up, be a leader, take responsibility for the loss and act like a fricking adult. Not like a little kid who didn't get his way.

Cam isn't a mature, high-character leader?
Shocking.
