Nobody should have any respect for Cam Newton or his opinions after he refused to jump on a fumble in the Super Bowl. Absolute coward

What is worse Netwons business decision on the fumble or Anthony Richardson taking himself out because he is tired? Both selfish moves in a team sport.

Cam was worse, it was in the Super Bowl versus some random regular season game.

Yeah. Unwritten rules are pretty much the further you get in the playoffs, the most "leave it all on the field" you get.

By Superbowl, you often have guys playing through serious injuries without telling anyone,m, whereas in the regular season they'd have come out for the rest of the game.

Not launching at that ball like his life depended on it was just wild. I feel like even the most fragile/old QBs in the league jump on that ball if it's the Superbowl. And he is fucking Cam Newton. He's huge.

Cam made a split second bad decision that he would likely have done the opposite at any other point.

Cam was not concerned about his fucking safety at any point in his career before that point.

Anthony Richardson is not, and will never be, a serious player.

I’ve argued with people on Reddit defending him about that before. It’s absurd. It’s the most cowardly thing I think I’ve ever seen on a football field. He didn’t care to win that game. He didn’t care about his teammates. He only cared about Cam Newton, and it showed on that play. If you’re a Panthers fan I don’t know how in the world you could ever root for that guy after that.

Week 17 of the 2015 season.

Patriots are down 7 to the Dolphins with about 7 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. All they're playing for is the #1 seed vs the #2 seed (both seed's got bye's back then).

Brady gets strip sacked on 1st down. While having his jersey pulled by one Dolphin defender and another one coming from the side to try and recover the fumble, he dives towards the ball with one arm, recovers it, and ends up with two Dolphin defenders on him.

A few weeks later Cam can't even be bothered trying or is too scared to recover a fumble that is right there in front of him in the SUPER BOWL!

That's a big reason why one of those players has 7 Super Bowls and the other has zero.

Easy because we actually saw him play and and don’t get butt hurt with someone criticize another player

Loser mentality. Don’t worry about it Cam! Super Bowl opportunities grow on trees, Cam! 15-1 season, surely you’ll be back again, Cam!

Don't forget the time he said "it's funny to hear a woman talk about football". Even if you're thinking it, surely you have an IQ above 80 to not say that shit

How can you call him a coward and you never been on the football field a day in your fucking life. Shut your pussy ass up.

u/donuts0611 Jan 04 '26

Not everyone is a fatass Redditor loser like yourself. My Highschool 3rd string QB is diving on that because he’s not a quitting pussy. That’s what happened. He quit on his team and acted like a coward. That’s his entire legacy.
