Cam didn't dive for the fumble because he didnt want to risk injury.

Yeah, here is a bit more elaborate article about it:

 

http://www.businessinsider.com.au/cam-newton-explains-why-he-didnt-jump-on-the-fumble-in-super-bowl-50-2016-2

 

This one is real hard to defend when you have a teammate playing with a broken hand, IMO. But then, you will have folks come here and say "that is who Cam is, that is how he plays, get on board with it..."

 

Von Miller was sure MVP because on both the fumbles that he caused, he was also smart enough to tap the ball out of the congested pocket knowing there will be an outside defender to jump on it. Both ended up with TDs for the Broncos.

 

It is all about attitude and mindset. I saw similar fumbles forced when these Broncos defenders played for Jack Del Rio but they recovered very few of them because they were not in position to do so. It makes sense to get it outside the pocket mess knowing your defenders are lurking around.

The video clip in that link shows cam pulling up much more than the clips I remember seeing during the game...

wow...

Does anyone remember Jack Youngblood playing for the LA Rams with a broken leg???  It was hard to watch, but he was still cracking heads out there.

 

One note from the twitter that jumped out at me:

 

@josephperson so he does flips into the end zone during regular season & can’t dive on a ball in the Super Bowl? He’s an embarrassment

Randy White also played with a broken arm in a SB, he even had a cast on LOL.

I can only remember that line from Spiderman "with great power comes great responsibility", even if it is not off the field, at least on the field.

Interesting you've mentioned Youngblood, thinking about some of the main storylines coming from this past SB, I've been reminded of the Rams 'Fearsome Foursome' with guys like Youngblood & Olsen. Guys who were beasts on the field, but who brought a level of integrity to the game off the field...

Why would anyone ever admit that? I get being candid, but good grief.

[Coffeedrinker]

All I know is Superman is not afraid of getting injured.

 

While watching the game I thought there were a lot more bodies around the ball when Cam got there but nope, he was afraid of getting injured by Ware's arm.

 

Like I said in the other thread that is now locked (probably because of me), I think this game will prove to be the ruin of Cam.  he's has a lot of talent so he will stick in the NFL for a while but he is no longer a leader or the face of the Panthers, let along the face of the NFL.  Unless you want the face of the franchise to be this everytime things don't go his way.

[2006Coltsbestever]

It's the SB he should've tried for the ball but he is a Very Good player (not Great) and won MVP so he gives 100% effort 99% of the time LOL.

Heck, when left in the face of adversity, ole' Kevin McCalister stepped his game up a notch and torched those would-be thieves in proper vaudeville style!!!

Out of likes but that is funny! Classic movie. Yeah Cam went from everyone's cool guy to now being everyone's cry baby. He hasn't handled any thing right after the loss. He has handled everything perfect leading up to the SB. Losing brings out the worse in some people.

I know this has happened, but what quarterback do you remember from the past (Not Manziel today) that ruined his career with tantrums...baby-like behavior.  For some reason I am drawing a blank.

 

Was Jim Plunkett that way before his comeback?

Cam couldn't carry Plunkett's jock strap. Big Jim won 2 SB's. Once you win 2 you are in an Elite class.

Yeah he was awesome in big moments. Not to change the subject but that is why I wanted Peyton to get that 2nd Ring so badly because a lot of the media and fans in general don't consider a QB Elite unless they win at least twice. Hard to believe Marino and Kelly never won 1. Tarkenton didn't either.

He didn't say #@!$ about injury. He said his legs were contorted. Allow me to explain what this means to all the fat, lazy loudmouths who cannot be buggered to buy their food from a restaurant without a drive-through.

 

If your ankle is planted and even just a few degrees in the wrong direction, you cannot leap to the ground without repositioning yourself. These things happen at the speed of lightening. 

 

 

That's an oblong spheroid (football) which, for anyone that has actually played football, bounces with absolute unpredictability. Cam's legs are planted, he thinks it's going to bounce one way, it went the other way. 

 

Earlier on;

 

He completes the games longest pass while getting absolutely nuked by a defender with a  free rush. Afraid of injury? Get the hell outta here, plebs.

Yeah Marino, Kelly, Fouts, and Moon are Elite but for some reason most people base everything on Rings. Especially Patriots and Steelers fans. I would take Marino over Bradshaw and it's 4-0 Bradshaw. I think Rings are important but so are how great the player is who played the position, carrying a team, Stats, etc..

What is your point?  This is the Super Bowl not a carnival.  Cam Newton is one of the most gifted athletes I have ever seen.  He easily could have gotten this football.  He is bigger than almost anyone jumping in the pile.

 

Contorted legs...Whatever Ruk.
