Panthers QB Cam Newton fails to show leadership by bailing after Super Bowl loss

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The big stage of Super Bowl 50 seemed so 
perfect for Cam Newton. He seemed like he wanted all the 
attention. He demanded all eyes on him. It sure looked like he 
wanted to be the star of the NFL’s show.

That’s why it’s so disappointing that in his biggest moment he 
came up so painfully small.

And it wasn’t just his play, either — though he was ineffective, 
jittery and clearly rattled by the Denver Broncos defense 
throughout the Carolina Panthers’ 24-10 loss. The worst of his 
performance came afterward, when Newton — the leader of the NFC 
champs, the NFL MVP and a player who might just be the face of 
the league’s future — bolted from his postgame press conference 
almost without talking at all.

He declined to be a good loser. He refused to be gracious in 
defeat. There were no compliments of his opponent or 
explanations for his poor game.

Instead, he got up after about two minutes or so of mostly one-
word answers and long, blank stares, leaving his teammates to 
pick up the pieces of a disappointing Super Bowl performance.
