CAROLINA PANTHERS QUOTES

I don’t bring race into the game, ’cause then you’re talking about excuses. I. Hate. Excuses. Excuses are a disease.

I say this with the most humility, but I don’t think nobody has ever been who I am trying to be. Nobody has the size, nobody has the speed, nobody has the arm strength, nobody has the intangibles that I’ve had. I’m not saying I’m the one-on-one type of person that this league will never see again. … I’m just saying that so much of my talents have not been seen in one person.

–Cam Newton, in 2011

I’ve said this since day one, I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to.

–Cam Newton, 2015

Winning excuses everything.

–Cam Newton

The quarterback is an extension of the coach and has a certain type of swagger mentality, on and off the field.

–Cam Newton

My focus right now is focusing on the Detroit Lions. I think I got my hands full trying to find ways to stay protected by Donkey Kong Suh and my fellow Auburn teammate Nick Fairley.
