"Is he paying for these interviews?" - NFL fans react to Cam Newton's latest comments on free agency, Tom Brady, and more
Former New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton recently made headlines for his comments on a number of different subjects.
On The Pivot Podcast, Newton talked about his time in New England and his return to Carolina, describing them as "fu**ed" up situations.
Newton said:
"I put myself in another f--- up situation. I was signed on Thursday, I played on Sunday. At what point did you think you was gonna be successful? That next week, I started. That's still up under 10 days of you being on the team, and you're still trying to learn an offense. So before I sit up here and allow the narrative to be made that Cam ain't got it no more, Cam is taking full responsibility and saying that Cam put himself in a f--- up situation."
Newton went on to claim that he considered himself more valuable than legendary quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in certain aspects of the game.
"I saw myself more valuable than a Tom Brady, I saw myself more valuable than an Aaron Rodgers, than a Peyton Manning. Because I can go into their community, but they can never go to my community."
.@CameronNewton: "There's not 32 guys better than me. On my soul."
Then gets a lot of push back on @thepivot

Fans were quick to take to Twitter to discuss Newton's comments. One Twitter user questioned if Newton paid to be put on air.
@NFL_DovKleiman @CameronNewton @thepivot Someone please answer this. is Cam paying for these interviews ? Because there’s 0 reason for him to be interviewed. Many other former players I rather hear from
One Twitter user questioned how the interview had anything to do with being a starting quarterback in the league.
@NFL_DovKleiman @CameronNewton @thepivot How does that have anything to do with being a QB in the nfl lmao
One Twitter user could not believe Newton said he was better than Manning, Brady, and Rodgers.
@NFL_DovKleiman @CameronNewton @thepivot Did Cam just say he’s better than Brady, Rodgers, and Manning
One Twitter user replied to the tweet with a confused Russell Westbrook meme.

One Twitter user took a dig at Newton's accuracy.
@NFL_DovKleiman @CameronNewton @thepivot This the same guy who struggles to complete 7 yard throws lmfao
Cam Newton has struggled in his last two seasons in the NFL
Last season, Newton went 0-5 in the five games he started for the Panthers. He threw for only 684 yards and four touchdowns against five interceptions.
Two seasons ago with the Patriots, he went 7-8 as a starter while throwing eight touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.
He is currently a free agent, but the door is open for him to return to the Panthers.
