StefanAVFC Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I don't agree with benching him; you play your best players. But when will Cam grow up? It's not that hard to just wear a tie surely; he'd have known the rules for years by now. I just don't understand his attitude at times. He's a great player but there's times when he can act like such a kid; and he's the leader of the team.

Last season people thought he 'changed' when in reality he was winning every week and had no reason to be a child. During and post Super Bowl he reverted to type. I don't think not wearing a tie makes him childish, but a leader of a team shouldn't be that dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got battered in the Superbowl and then post-game he was doing an interview in mixed zone and Chris Harris stood about 3 yards away quite obviously baiting him and he walked off. Not sure why that's been brought up because it's totally irrelevant. We've been on the west coast for two weeks and he lost the tie whilst travelling. What a terrible leader. All last night was a way to deflect any shit from Rivera, the GM and the coaches, because despite the injuries this year, it has been wholly unacceptable.

All last night was a way to deflect any shit from Rivera, the GM and the coaches, because despite the injuries this year, it has been wholly unacceptable. Quote It all went down on Saturday at the bay area hotel where the team had been staying since playing the Raiders in Oakland the previous weekend. After the players and coaches had boarded their buses to go to the airport to head to Seattle to play the Seahawks ... Rivera got off his bus, went to Cam's bus, and pulled Cam off for a 1 on 1 convo. We're told this was the moment Rivera confronted Cam about his dress code violation -- not wearing a tie on travel day. You can see the look on Cam's face ... he's obviously disappointed and retreats back to the bus. Cam was benched for the first series of the game on Sunday as punishment. After the game, Cam explained, "I didn't follow dress code, and Coach told me I wasn't going to start. I stand by his decision." Cam said he had neckties available -- but the reason he didn't rock one? He didn't feel it went with his outfit. Come on. http://www.tmz.com/2016/12/05/cam-newton-dress-code-violation-ron-rivera/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 That came out after my post, so fair enough. Either way, I'm more concerned about getting our arses handed to us by a team we beat twice last year more than a tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i'm aware turtle necks are considered a suitable alternative to a tie.... Anyway, cutting ones nose off to piss off their face springs to mind.

It was disobeyed because Cam said 'None of the ties went with my outfit'. I'm sorry but that's absurd. You're earning multi-millions as the face of the franchise. Stick a tie on if that's the rule, regardless of whether it's a stupid rule (it is) or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? It's the exact opposite. If you're earning 20 million dollars a year, wear a tie if you're told to. Regardless of whether you're the superstar QB or practise squad fodder, rules are rules are rules are rules. As soon as you start letting people get away with things, as small as they are, you start losing the team. Ron comes across as a strict coach, with military background. If you see your leader breaking the rules, regardless of how small it is, you'll start breaking them yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is a multi-millionaire is more likely to turn up to work not wearing a tie than your average working man who literally relies on that job to survive. To Cam Newton breaking a rule like that and not playing or even being fined means nothing to him so he can get away with saying stuff like "It didn't go with any of my outfits". I'd like to add however that I think he dresses like a dick. Turtle neck or tie, either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 6 from NFC/AFC. 1 - Division winner with best record, first round bye, HFA for entirety of playoffs 2 - Division winner with 2nd best record - first round bye. 3 - Division winner with 3rd best record 4 - Division winner with 4th best record 5 - Non division winner from any division with best remaining record 6 - Non division winner from any division with 2nd best remaining record So: 1st round: 6 @ 3 5 @ 4 2nd round: Lowest remaining seed @ 1 Highest remaining seed @ 2 Champ game: Lowest remaining seed @ highest remaining seed SB: NFC v AFC @ neutral location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
