It seems pretty obvious that a lot of the talking heads on TV are a bit nervous about high profile former players coming in and giving their opinions on topics, and doing so while on their own individual platforms. If Cam can link up with a Brady or TO and give their opinion on what happened in a game with a particular player or team, heads will turn, and folks will want to tune in to see what is being said. That's taking eyes away from these daily shows, which is why you're seeing this push to devalue Cam like he was some bum, and not of one of the most influential players in the league's history
Cam Newton ain’t buying the hype with NFL QBs

We might have to re-evaluate "game manager" being a pejorative... cause a lot of times QB's trying to do too much and playing outside of the constraints of their offense is why they don't win games.

This is why I find watching sports media difficult. Expect sticking on topic they had to attack the messenger.
I agree with what Cam said, there's only a few true "difference maker" QBs, but that doesn't mean the rest of the QBs are game managers (or worse).

Cam went out bad in Carolina, and him refusing to take a backup role did him no favors.
So it's going to come across as him being mad that he's not in the league anymore.
I don’t think nikkas know what game managers mean anymore.

You don't win an MVP in a league where the writers vote if you're hated imo
People hated Mike Vick, Cam as far as I know was loved going all the way back to his Auburn days

Game managers are not leading the league in top categories. End of story. People just say that term now to trash players they don't like.

Yeah I’m ok with saying he’s wrong, but when you start talking about “well you ain’t even on a team” and all that it seems a little personal. That Kim chick didn’t even play football… why was she so mad? Then they get mad when people call these espn analysts out that didn’t play sports.

Maybe I'm misremember but I straight up don't remember Cam being hated. I love Cam, but he stuck his fukking foot in his mouth. he deserves everything he's getting, and it's obvious that shyt comes from a place of hurt based on him saying it about Dak for me.

Nah he just said a lot of shyt that wasn't true
Nothing wrong with anyone correcting him on it.
