People want to hear opinions. Thoughts on their team, the game last night and what’s going to happen next season. Cam Newton is taking over the NFL. The Carolina Panthers are 15-1 overall and favored to win Super Bowl 50. He’s also one of the best examples of a ‘hot take’ gone wrong. Yes opinions can change. In sports there are a lot of times people are wrong on game outcomes and player performances. Newton’s journey was hot take fire. Questions surrounding how he ended up at the University of Auburn. Did his Dad take money? Does that mean his character is a concern? A great athlete in a simple system. His skills won’t translate to the NFL. He won’t be able to read a defense. We’ll here we are with the potential NFL MVP dabing his way into millions of television sets. He enjoys the game. He dances and that gets under some people skin. Plain and simple, Newton is ridiculously good. He has become a better pocket passer and leads his team with a happy go lucky attitude. It’s not wrong to have an opinion but it shouldn’t be frowned upon to have a take on development. No one wants to he be patient, (Lobo basketball) but it’s a fact of life in sports. Andrew Luck had a tremendous first two years leading the Indianapolis Colts to the AFC title game last year. He struggled with turnovers this season before an injury ended his year. You can look good early, later but one thing that will always happen, bumps in the road. Cam is doing what everyone tries to do, silence the doubters. He has done that and some.
