"I'm the winner."

These are the words of Cam Newton in an interview with reporters, without any embellishment or discount, directly announcing his strong posture.

As the most topical game in the tenth week of the regular season, it may not be the most powerful collision, or it may not be the life and death of the sworn enemies in the same region, but the topicality of "champion show VS unselected rookie" has undoubtedly become the focus of attention, and it has easily become the biggest hot spot on social networking platforms.

How could journalists want to miss it?

In fact, at the post-game press conference when the Carolina Panthers defeated the Atlanta Falcons, some reporters began to ask relevant questions, and then continued to ask questions on various occasions intermittently, building a bridge between Lu Ke and Cam, and slowly hyping up the relationship between the two sides.

"I never thought he was a good quarterback. It was so before, and it is now. Cam was still in a confident state with his head held high, he didn't even want to mention Lu Ke's name, just used "he" to refer to him, and then faintly raised his chin, showing his sense of oppression in a condescending posture.

"He's just an opportunist." That's Cam's opinion, "Jim Hubble is a very good coach and he's just a passing machine. I'm sure any player can do his job, it's just that he's in that position. It's that simple. ”

Although the reporters were waiting for such a moment, when Cam actually said it, all the reporters were so excited that they couldn't help but start to tremble: this is just amazing!

"Cam, are you saying that Lu Ke is just a role player?"

The reporter simply tore the fig leaf, and Cam didn't care, "Of course, or what?" Then he laughed heartily, "God, you don't really think he's a good quarterback, do you?" Jesus Christ, this is probably the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life. ”

"But he's the regular season MVP," ...... others tried to keep arguing.

But Cam didn't leave the slightest chance, and directly pulled down his face, his smile completely disappeared, like a black cauldron, and quickly retorted head-on, "Steve McNair was also the regular season MVP. So? ”

Rumble!

Boom!

This is a hornet's nest!

Who exactly is Steve McNair?

It was the 1995 Prospect Show, when the Houston Oilers and now the Tennessee Titans selected the Tennessee native rookie quarterback in the draft. Although the Tennessee Titans reached the Super Bowl in the 1999 season, McNair was not the hero of the team's victory.

In fact, McNair was always a role quarterback, and as part of the team as a whole, there wasn't much of a standout part of the team, and it wasn't until 2000 that he had his first Pro Bowl induction season; Then in 2003, he ushered in his peak moment -

He made 3,215 yards of passing, scored 24 touchdowns and made only seven interceptions, and had a quarterback rating of 100.4, making him not only the king of passing yards that year, but also the highest quarterback rating in the league, and the youngest player in league history to complete both 20,000 yards of passing and 3,000 yards of running.

With such momentum, McNair and Peyton Manning tied for the regular season MVP that year, and both quarterbacks were the first time in their careers that they had won such glory, which was also the second time since 1997 that there was a tie for regular season MVP, and McNair, who has always been considered a role player, reached the highest point of his career!

Then in 2004, McNair was plagued by injuries, only played eight games in the regular season, and the relevant statistical performance also plummeted, and even the quarterback rating fell directly to 73.1.

In 2005, although McNair's condition picked up somewhat, he couldn't match 2003 and returned to a decent role player position, and the season ended with a back injury and two games in the closing stages.

In the offseason, the Tennessee Titans refused to fulfill McNair's follow-up contract, and McNair eventually moved to the Baltimore Ravens after some negotiations. In 2006, McNair's performance improved dramatically, leading the Ravens to the playoffs, only to lose to the Indianapolis Colts led by Big Manning.

In 2007, McNair played on and off due to injury, and after the ninth week of the regular season, he was replaced by a series of interceptions, and after that, he was never able to return to the main lineup, playing only six games in the season.

Shortly after the Super Bowl that year, McNair announced his official retirement.

From 2003 to 2007, in just five years, the regular season MVP was reduced to the bench position, and finally suffered from injuries, still unable to form an effective competition, and had no choice but to retire, even in the cruel and cold modern professional arena, this is still suffocating.

In fact, Steve McNair isn't the only regular season MVP in the past few years to end in a bleak end.

Shaun-Alexander, the 2005 regular season MVP, was the running back of the Seattle Seahawks, and after winning the top honor of his career, he was swept away by the team just three years later, looking for a job but not even a substitute job, and eventually had to retire in disgrace.

Now, Cam Newton uses Steve McNair as a metaphor for Lu Ke, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious:

Even if he won the regular season MVP, he still can't get rid of the brand of role player, compared to absolute strength, it is better to be like a meteor to bloom for just one season, but after making people amazed, all the energy will be released, and after the peak season, it will be all the way downhill.

What's even more terrifying is that after that, the injury will become a lingering nightmare, and it won't take a few years before he will be completely forgotten by the league, and in the end, he may not even have a decent retirement ceremony, and he will just turn away gloomily, and no one will remember the MVP trophy.

Incidentally, less than two years after Steve McNair retired, in June 2009, he died in a suspected love/murder gunfight, and he was shot twice in his body and head.

From injury to death, from MVP to retirement, Cam used McNair to describe Lu Ke, is this a mockery or a ...... Curse?

In the face of the interview with the media reporters, Cam did not hide his disdain and contempt, and even vicious swearing, which immediately made all the reporters excited; A depth charge was dropped on social networks, and all the fans came forward and couldn't wait to express their opinions.

Obviously, the blaming voice of Cam has the absolute upper hand - to use McNair as a metaphor is a very, very inappropriate act.

But the fans of the Carolina Panthers still fought hard to defend their quarterbacks, and began to launch more vicious and ugly curses against Lu Ke, officially starting the battle!

Originally, there was no historical grudge between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers, and although they were also in the National League, the peaks and troughs of the two teams were perfectly staggered, which meant that there was almost no chance of meeting in the playoffs, and there was no direct competition between them; And the triennial reincarnation of the regular season is just a routine regular matchup, all of which makes there never be too many sparks between them, let alone any deep hatred.

This year's showdown has changed that.

From the hot topic of "Lu Ke VS Newton", things began to slowly and slowly get out of control, Cam used McNair as a metaphor for Lu Ke's outrageous words became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the "focus showdown" gradually evolved into a "life-and-death fight".

Before Lu Ke could respond to Cam, Logan and Vernon and other fiery tempers had already taken the lead in firing on social networks.

"Who's going to remind me, apart from the mouth cannon, who remembers what Cam Newton has done in the last three seasons?" Vernon can be described as a good online scolding player, and he gave Cam a fatal blow as soon as he came up.

Logan didn't show weakness either, "Can anyone tell me what the name of that player who looks at people with his nose is?" Why do I hear someone call him 'Superman' because he likes to wear red panties outside? Or is it because he's like a big stupid guy who wears a red cloak and thinks he can fly? ”

The San Francisco 49ers took the lead in defending their quarterbacks on social media, and the Carolina Panthers players were unflinching.

"A bunch of idiots." The Panthers' second-year star outside lineback, Luke Kikley, fought back directly, and interestingly, the outside lineback became the first player in league history to win the grappling title in his rookie season last year, earning him the nickname "Skywalker."

Luke, is Skywalker.

Lu Ke is also a Skywalker.

Luke Kikley has shown a dominant state on the field this season, comparable to Aldon Smith last year, and his words are naturally full of weight, "What controversy, what dissatisfaction, stay in the arena to compete, let's see whose fist is bigger." If you don't accept it, I'll suppress you until you obey! ”

This remark was called "domineering" by Carolina Panthers fans, but it successfully provoked the anger of San Francisco 49ers fans, "If it weren't for your No. 1 quarterback with a big mouth and no one in his eyes like an idiot, how could reporters have the opportunity to keep provoking?" Regardless of our own mouths, we still worry about our mouths, and we don't look in the mirror to see what our faces are. ”

The controversy surged violently.

Because the network speed is really fast, the scolding war has been updated for two rounds, and the reporters belatedly found another party, Lu Ke, waiting for his response.
