Newton was too confident and too cocky. He lost the game for Carolina.
If Denver doubles Manning's salary that will keep him in the game for 1 more year..
My concern with Cam this year has been him getting hurt or the old immature Cam showing up during adversity. I'm actually glad he didn't dive into the pile after his last fumble as the game was pretty much over by then and there's next year but I thought it was pretty immature how he handled the after game press conference. That was the old Cam that almost cost Rivera his job a couple of years back . It's been said he's the new face of the league. If the new face is going to be sore losers it won't matter how many balls get handed to kids after touchdowns.Newton was too confident and too cocky. He lost the game for Carolina.
I personally don't like the way Cam plays or how he carries himself, but I give him credit for being 100% honest. The guy wears his emotions on his sleeve and those kinds of people always keep things honest, from my experience anyway. These kinds of personalities want to be great and their emotion can either help or hinder their greatness.I actually like the way he plays. Some see it as arrogant I see it as having fun. I felt he played too tight in the game and this was the first time he was rattled by a defense this year.

Yeah I felt he quit as well. And take it from someone like Kapernick, he is not guaranteed to get another shot at the Superbowl. With teams know you coming and looking to give you their best shot, free agency, injuries from the extra hit in the post season, and heavy expectations, you have to give it everything you have like this is the last opportunity.I personally don't like the way Cam plays or how he carries himself, but I give him credit for being 100% honest.

The way he handled his postgame media interview, handled it the way I expected him to, except for cutting it early. However, in his defense, you could definitely hear Harris being interviewed and that's a position he was put in, something that usually never happens.
I still think he acts like a child though. Has all the fun in the world until he starts losing. He was humbled last night and maybe he'll carry himself and try to portray a better image of himself. If not, then he's just being himself and nobody can really fault him for that, at least he's not being consumed by how the media portrays him.
And yes, I think he quit on his team after that second fumble. Body language can speak louder than words, and he definitely threw in the towel after that. He was in no way prepared to handle that sort of defense and especially on the biggest stage.
