CHARLOTTE, N.C. – 2016 was a rough year on the field for Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.After leading his team to a 15-1 record and Super Bowl 50 appearance, Newton laid claim to the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award.
Unfortunately for Cam, that’s where the ride came to a screeching halt. The Denver defense harassed Newton and the Panthers to claim the championship, sending Carolina into a tailspin that lingered throughout the following season.
After a disappointing season, Newton was named the Most Overrated Athlete of 2016 by USA TODAY Sports.
Cant say i disagree at all with the consensus. I dont feel sorry for him as some others do within the NFL fanbase as he brings a lot of it on himself. He has no problem showboating when he scores or the team is winning but when things dont go his way and team loses he is the worst sportsman ive seen in quite a long time. Its even more embarrassing when his HC excuses it. A true measure of a man and athlete to me is one who can be as gracious in defeat just as much as he can in victory. He might have all the skill and talent in the world but mentally he is still a child. Until he fixes that he will always be a loser in my book.
