It's been quite a week for Cam Newton, as the former Panthers QB is doing a media tour of sorts, going on multiple podcasts and radio shows, talking about today's NFL. The first set of comments that caused a stir, was him calling QBs like Dak Prescott, and Brock Purdy "game managers", despite them having their teams in legitimate positions to compete for, and potentially win a Super Bowl.
