I have to assume all college athletes want the success and fame that comes with their own success. The way they like to celebrate and bring attention to themselves shows they love the attention. So now that JM is getting all the fame he's ever wanted can he handle it? I guess we are gonna find out. I see him starting to crack. I think Cam handled it pretty well.

If not, does he have the "chest" to play for LSU?

It's all about chest in the SEC. AJ's tats, Gunner Kiel's no-show, Petrino's bike-mate...it's all about the chest, Baby.

Thus far he has proven that he does not. What he does in the future and how he learns from his mistakes has yet to be seen.

Cam was older, and he won the Heisman and the championship at the end of his college career. He knew that he was not coming back the next year, and he didn't disrespect his school.
He was more mature than Little Johnny and apparently his dad was also.

Cam Newton is light years tougher and much more
"savvy" than jony bigtime.

It goes without saying that I'm not a Cam fan. FTR.

You think anyone would hear about it if Cam signed
a cattle trailer full of Barner gear for 10K?

Define "handle".

Do you mean in his personal life or on the field?

Those are completely different things for Johnny.

Personally, he's already proven he can't handle it. On the field, being hated-on and doubted seem to make him BETTER. See: last year's OU game. Word from practice yesterday is that he was throwing fricking lasers and looks better than ever.

I don't know how it works at A&M, but at Bama the "word from practice yesterday" is usually that the 4th string QB looks like Joe Montana and at least 5 or 6 of our true freshman could start in the NFL right now.

Then the season starts...

Last year he actually looked like crap in practice and scrimmages. A lot of us who had seen him were pissed and wanted Sumlin to start Jamail Showers.

Then the season started...

It was an impressive season. Enjoy it a few more weeks and then let's do it all again.

No kidding... can't wait to kick this thing off. It's killing me. We've got the game of the year lined up if they don't suspend our little douchenozzle first.

I think you can answer this all on your own.

I also think you're trolling like 80% of the other threads on SECR
