It's definitely not just you. But just as CP alluded to, just about everything he does bugs the shit out of me.
In regards to Kuechly, isn't there some type(s?) of brain injury that causes uncontrollable sobbing over nothing? I hope it's not that or anything.
Hightower inadvertently stepped on his foot on the previous play while they both were out of bounds.
On the play that injured Kuechly, Hightower collided with his mask then friendly fire via Thomas Davis occurred to the back of his helmet.
As DOTB said, the guy sells out on every play. Always impressive. He may have thought that his season was over since it took him a month to get back on the field after a concussion last year.
Just watched the video. I hope it's nothing "worse" than a standard concussion. The way he reacted was scary to watch. There are tons of us on here who are closer and closer each day to giving up watching football. What happened last night is one of the reasons why. It is hard, in good consciousness, to watch this stuff each week. Ugh I feel sick.
Didn't even look like a concussion, really looked like he got smoked directly in his sternum and he couldn't breathe,(lung issue?) which caused a panic attack. That looked scary af.
Poor guy, crying and his body closed up, wondering if he was going to choke to death. Yes, that is brutal.
The hit itself didn't look like a concussion hit but the glassy stare afterwards is what really got to me. To me, he looked like a guy who has been told by doctors that he was 1 concussion away from having to strongly consider giving up football and then he realizes it may have happened. At least that's my guess.
We'll know soon enough but I am really getting a Patrick Willis vibe here.
This is my guess also. Tough break for one of the game's good guys by all accounts.
Ten years ago, he'd be cleared to play next week, so it's worth pausing to appreciate the progress that's been made recently.
Someone on Deadspin posted a link to something called "pseudobulbar affect": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4200065/
Apparently, traumatic brain injuries can cause involuntary emotional outbursts like this.

The Cam hate is sad. He is very active in the community and does a lot for the kids. Great player too. God forbid he dance after scoring a touchdown.
You know who is an overrated and uncharasmatic QB to watch? Drew Brees.
Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton, Alex Smith (!!) and Joe Flacco have a better winning % than Brees.

Yeah I never understood the hate for Cam. He gets his ass kicked, dresses flamboyantly, is fairly individualistic, and generally wins. The nerve.
From knowing people that know Keuchly, he's a genuinely good person. Great rep for my moribund school.

What about his play in the Super Bowl not diving for the fumble? That's my only problem with him.
Completely valid. Most hate comes from before that, at least through the people I know that hate him.
Youre unclear why a country that just elected Trump as President doesnt enjoy a self assured successful African American?
I long for the day a sports fan can not be a fan of Johnny Manziel or Cam Newton and not be accused of being a racist or subtly accused of being one. Can a fan just not be a fan of a particular player's antics regardless of the color of his skin? Some of us have ZERO concern of color of skin, but do care about people and their actions.
Well I don't think everyone in this thread is racist. I think that has to do with some people hating him but I tend to hold SoSH in better light than others.
My point is I don't understand what about his antics are more grating than, say, Travis Kelce celebrations or Antonio Brown's twerking. Personal preference I suppose.
I did not accuse any in here of being racist. Do you think a moronic MAGA Trump supporter from down South may be tho? Im sure the correlation between racist angry white dude and doesnt like Cam Newtons antics is pretty high.
Personally dont think Cams a very good QB and hes obnoxious on field but seems like a good guy off of it.
I am far from a racist, and am on record in this thread stating my dislike for Cam. My dislike has nothing to do with his race, nor does it have anything to do with what he does off the field. Since I have never seen him do anything off the field, I can only judge him by what I see on the field. He appears to me to be a "me" player. The towel over the head thing, for whatever reason, bugs me. That's not the only reason I have dislike for him, but it is hard to put a finger on anything specific.
So maybe he is a great guy and I have misjudged him. But that doesn't mean that I have to like him.

The primary issue with Cam is when he's winning, he's all about flexing and dancing and celebrating. Which is fine. But then when he loses, he storms out of the press rooms. He is definitely a "me" player. Except when it comes to trying to get his own fumbles. Then he just gives up.
Still, he takes way too many hits to the head and the NFL doesn't give him enough protection.

I like watching Cam play and have read about great stuff he does off of the field. My pet peeve is that I hate that he ignores his teammates to celebrate by himself. Google any clip of him scoring. I love the way QB's like Brady and Wilson celebrate with their team. We expect this crap from prima donna receivers, but I think it sucks coming from the leader of the offense.
