People can be so jealous. Just let these guys be who they have always been. Humility is overrated IMO.


I think Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete ever from the state of Alabama and is a really great, and interesting guy. I admired Ronnie Brown as one of the toughest running backs in SEC history. Tracy Rocker was one of the most dominate SEC defensive players in the 80s. All three played for AU all three were great and I liked all three. So why is Newton different?

Other than Bo, who may be the greatest athlete in American history, none of those guys has a brand like Cam. It's a different era, and being subtle doesn't make you a star. JFF knows this too. Admittedly, I'm not a guy who prefers swaggering athletes, but that's largely how it is in this culture. You're rewarded for it.

idk why Newton is different for you. Maybe you're one of the people who likes to see humility from D1 SEC players/professional athletes who make millions of dollars.
