He sometimes brought bad publicity with reporters, so people at some point were going to find out he wasn't a superhero and he wasn't perfect, he was just a guy. He hasn't had a wholelot of room to be a regular guy because of the superhero nicknames and image.
Some of what CamNewtonsaid and did was as questionable as what anybody else says and does. He didn't really ever claim to be perfect, somewhere he got the superhero image and it stuck.
As long as the referees hate Cam Newton being himself on the field, they are going to keep making life difficult for him over him showing any emotions other than smiling or greeting fans and shit like that. He's been in the league long enough to be left alone now, he's already done things no other quarterback has done, and he's not done yet.
A guy that plays better when people don't hate him, because he's human like them.
Cam Newton does things a little different than most people would, but as long as they love what he can do instead of who he is, he's not going to do everything he really could, because he's human.
Cam Newton thinks he is over the hill because of his profession, but he's too young for retirement. His best years don't look like they're ahead of him, but he won't know if he retires, and if football is what he loves to do for a living, why would he?
CamNewton seems to lose focus and determination more than he did in his 20's, at times he doesn't seem like the same guy he was even though he is.
