The former Carolina Field Marshal, Cam Newton, doubled the recent comments that the Panthers had “a loser costume” before writing it with the first general selection in 2011, saying that his comments were “aggressive” but “true” .
Newton said during the podcast “4th and 1 with Cam Newton” on Thursday that he referred to the performance of the team in general and not individual players.
“When did we become so sensitive?” Newton said. “When did we really talk about what is the reality?
Several teammates, including the Steve Smith Mr. stars, made an exception to the comments that Newton made during an appearance in a podcast with the open receiver of Colorado/Corner Travis Hunter before the Super Bowl. He talked about the pressure that the hunter could face if he is recruited with the number 1 team.
Newton told Hunter that “it has no way of affecting the game as a quarterback does and added:” I entered a loser costume. Simply honest. The boys did not know how to win; the boys did not know how to prepare.
Those comments did not sit well with Smith, the most productive receiver that has used a Panthers uniform and one of the 15 finalists for the 2025 football hall of Football. His feelings through several publications in X.
“53 Man Locker Lightts-1 = 52 Losers. Wow … Last minute news to 89,” Smith published along with an angry face emoji.
Newton said “he has no dispute” with Smith and understands why he made an exception. But I wasn’t going back.
“I’m not speaking specifically those guys,” Newton said in his podcast. “I am talking about the culture that was there before I entered the locker room, and it was a losers’ mentality.”
Newton said the Panthers still had it in their first two seasons when they were 6-10 and 7-9. He also said he needed to learn to win at the NFL.
Things began to join in 2013, when Carolina had 12-4 before losing to the 49ers of San Francisco in the Divisional Round. The 2015 team had 15-1 and did the Super Bowl, with Newton winning MVP honors of the League that season.
“Is it saying that, ‘oh, when I came, I did everything [better]? “, Said.” No. I never said that. What I said was that if you are being recruited No. 1, you go to a bad football team. That is facts. And that is the point I was trying to say to Travis Hunter. Do you see what I am saying? For me, everyone is as baffled, as, ‘Oh, Cam said this’. Brother, it’s the truth. It’s the truth “.
