When Benjamin went down, I thought the Panthers were done. I thought 9-7 would win that division... I had the Falcons winning it.

Cam should absolutely be the MVP. That said, I can't help but want to his face when he loses in the playoffs. I'm all for having fun on the field, but he takes it to another level sometimes, and I'm pretty tired of it, personally. I feel like he's got another thing coming for the way he's acted.

We shall see. He just makes it hard for me to pull for them. But I would no doubt love him if we're a Titan. I think Mariota is gonna get to Cam's level eventually. What he's done this season is absolutely amazing and it's a shame he gets no credit for breaking tons of rookie records on the least talented offensive team in the NFL.

Yeah I'm getting tired of this as well. With his celebrating in front of a ref I don't understand why he didn't get flagged last Sunday.

I would trade Dez Bryant, our #1 overall pick in the next draft and Gavin Escobar for Cam Newton. Never would've guessed I'd say that before this season. Guess we're finally seeing the fruition of that off-season he spent with Troy Aikman.

What bugged me was that whole team photo stunt they pulled before the game even ended last Sunday. That was flat out disrespectful. I'm sure that didn't go unnoticed across the NFL.

I despise arrogance more than anybody I know and I have absolutely no problem with anything Cam or CAR does. The guys play a game for a living and are having fun. For once, the No Fun League is allowing players to enjoy themselves. Curmudgeons need not apply.

Fair enough, I can see where that would be disrespectful, wait until the game is over at least. The rest of it I'm fine with.

Lol at all the Cam/ Panther hate. The team has taken a picture on the sideline every game. You're only hearing about it now because they're 13-0.

Rivera won't rest players the final two games. He's already spoken about this and thinks it hurts the team more than it helps. He may start pulling players later during the games but there's no way they don't start.

That game was over in the 1st quarter!

Haha, fair enough. After all, it WAS the Falcons.

I remember when they were still undefeated some people were calling them the best team in the NFL.

Jeff Fisher is in his fourth year as coach of the Rams, and it’s his fourth losing season in St. Louis. But that doesn’t mean he’s on the hot seat.

According to two reports today, Fisher’s job is safe with the Rams. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that both Fisher and General Manager Les Snead are safe for 2016. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the Rams want Fisher to return, although Schefter left open the possibility that Fisher might decide on his own that he wants to step away.

Rams owner Stan Kroenke is focused on the possibility of moving his team to Los Angeles and may not want the distractions that go into hiring a new coach. If the team does move to L.A., Kroenke might want Fisher as the coach because Fisher grew up there and played at USC.

The flip side is, Kroenke could decide to completely clean house and start from scratch. That would mean Fisher, Snead and Rams Executive V.P. of Football Operations Kevin Demoff would all be on the hot seat.

For Kroenke, the first priority is figuring out where his team will play in 2016. The second priority is figuring out who will run his team in 2016.

I'm kind of surprised. I would think Kroenke's line of thinking would be a complete fresh start with a new city.

Six games in, the rest of the NFL got tape on the offense and that was all she wrote. They will right the ship once the HC gets his guys in there and gets rid of the bums like Roddy, etc.

That's assuming he going to a new city, and that's looking unlikely. Texans owner Bob McNair said a couple days ago it's unlikely the owners would approve a move of the Rams because it's clear St. Louis is serious about working with the team to build a new stadium, whereas virtually nothing is happening in Oakland and San Diego. Kroenke would need 24 votes from the owners to move to LA and there's virtually no chance he could get that. Where it could become interesting is if Kroenke won't give up his fight for LA he could probably get enough other owners to vote against the Chargers/Raiders move and at that point no team would be in LA next year.

That would be a pretty spiteful move.

You despise arrogance more than anyone, but you have no problem with the stuff Cam does? That's a contradictory statement IMO.

You probably wouldn't have been fine with it if he was dancing around mocking your players and trying to start sh*t at your stadium like he did at ours.

Don't think there are many fans of teams not named the Panthers fine with that crap.

I took zero issue with the sideline photo. Nothing wrong with that... It's purely the way he acts on the field. And I assure you, when he loses in the playoffs the floodgates will open and other teams are going to be mocking his first down crap to him all game long.

Fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion. I take it as the guy having fun playing a GAME. Lest you forget, he flipped his automobile last year and walked away relatively unscathed from a pretty horrific accident (see below):

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...team/20261187/

Maybe he's (A) just happy to be alive and (B) happy to be paid handsomely playing the game that he loves with his boys.

That's not to mention part of his "schtick" is ensuring a kid in the stands gets a ball after each TD, but no one brings that up.

As far as me being fine with anybody mocking our players/team...dude, I'm a Jets fan, the entire LEAGUE mocks my team and has for quite some time. I couldn't give a crap...my skin is far thicker than that from following my garbage team for over 35 years.

I assure you, Cam is keenly aware that should they drop a regular season game or if/when the get ousted from the playoffs, it will be rubbed in his face ad nauseum. That's part and parcel of the whole shebang.

[Tony208]

Giving a ball to the fan is exactly what I would do. Plus some excessive celebration after. I'm surprised more players don't do it.

Again, I am all for excessive celebrations, but Cam takes it too far IMO. I've hated the No Fun League for a long time. I wouldn't penalize or fine Antonio Brown for that goal line post slide. I'm all for that stuff.

What I'm not okay with is the mocking.

You're referring to a different type of mocking. The Titans are mocked by fans because we suck. I even mock our team. We deserve to be mocked in that sense. I'm talking about Cam directly mocking players.

It would seriously be like Brady going up to a random garbage player and dancing in his face. I guarantee you if it were a guy like Brady or Peyton, people wouldn't be like "oh yea, it's totally fine and I love it."

Karma's gonna get Cam in the playoffs. Guarantee it. Then you'll see the guy's true colors. This is the same guy who's had the baby face on the sidelines when his team loses and pouts to the media after losses. Same guy who celebrates first downs when getting blown out.

But as you'll notice in a previous post, I'd give him the MVP. He's earned it. But when the playoffs roll around, he better tone it down and be ready to face some serious adversity.
