At 21 I was overseas fighting to stay alive. Also, at that age, I got married and began a serious education. I would not have gone crazy with any amount of money. Newton has proven that he prone to do bad things. He isn't a kid. By the way, he is almost 27.
At 21 I was on the ground in Sunny Southeast Asia as a guest of my Uncle Sam. I stand by my original comments. ........ if given that amount of money in a contract I may well have ended up in trouble well before 27.
But, that being said, I think he'll do just fine as a citizen. I truly don't believe that you'll see him doing the dumb things off the field that other NFL'ers are caught doing.

Everyone is different and responds to stimuli in different ways. It all has to do with the way a person is raised and other influential/environmental factors. Some people become rich overnight and invest wisely and secure their families comforts and their future. The dumb ones blow it within a couple of years and end up worse than before. I can say that if I had been given millions when I was 21, I would not have gotten into trouble. I know a few that have faced this and invested well. It's the DNA.

But since you didn't have millions of dollars at age 21 the world will never know. A wise man/woman knows better than to speak in absolutes. Get off your high horse....you're as prone to fck up like anybody else unless you were born in manger.

No, I had an at home dad and I learned to be humble and charitable. I'm different than you. I never cared for big gold chains, flashy cars with idiotic hubs, or keeping up with the bros in the hood, etc. I am rich enough and still rather humble. You obviously have a very low self-esteem and self image and dream a lot.

The irony and lack of self awareness is striking...
I really like Cam. He is young and I like that he has his own style and that he is exuberant.
I think for the most part he has acted admirably on and off the field. Much better than many of his counterparts on other teams. He agreed with Rivera about the penalty and he seems to take responsibility for his actions.
I hope he stays with the Panthers for many years!

Cam is a good runner and at best a mediocre passer. He certainly isn't worth what he was paid.
He won the NFL MVP award and took the team to the SB last year. Many franchises would kill for a "mediocre" player such as Cam.
