Cam Newton calls out CeeDee Lamb's mother on Dak Prescott rant, warns of repercussions over outburst: "Just shut up"
Cam Newton has urged CeeDee Lamb's mother to stay silent after she called out Dak Prescott with furious social media post musings after the Dallas Cowboys' playoff exit.
Lamb's mother was not alone among Cowboys fans to feel the frustration of a home loss to the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers at the first playoff hurdle. That the Dallas Cowboys quarterback failed to connect at the beginning of the game with his premier wide receiver, who happens to be her son, exacerbated things.
However, putting it all out on social media might not have been a wise choice by CeeDee Lamb's mom. Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton certainly seemed to think so and said everything she felt need not be put on social media.
The ex-Carolina Panthers star said:
"Listen here mama, baby, I know everything that we think, we don't need to say. Everything we need to say don't need to be posted."
He said that this rule applies to all levels of sports and that if CeeDee Lamb has a problem with Dak Prescott, family members should not get involved in this drama. The former NFL MVP continued:
"I didn't even really want to talk about this because you know, Dallas situation, Cowboy. This is real spill for anybody in the NFL, college sports, it don't matter as a whole. Supporting cast don't make it any better by voicing their honest opinion."
He went on to ask her to respectfully cease giving her opinions and said that her rather forthright opinions would cause further trouble.
Cam Newton continued:
"I say this respectfully. Just shut up. Just shut up. Because it's not gonna do any good. ... you're gonna bring more trouble."
What did CeeDee Lamb's mother say about Dak Prescott that invited Cam Newton's criticism?
CeeDee Lamb's mother went on a tear after the Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from Super Bowl contention. After their Wild Card loss to the Green Bay Packers, she commented on social media that she does not want her son to remain part of the team and that he should seek a trade.
She even went on to say that playing for the Houston Texans with C.J. Stroud might be better for the wide receiver. Most gallingly, she claimed that Dak Prescott does not want to, or have the drive to, win the Super Bowl.
One thing is certain, though. The Cowboys will need the relationship between the quarterback and his main wide receiver to improve. Cam Newton, who went to Super Bowl 50 with the Carolina Panthers, is right in that regard.
