Radio host Colin Cowherd isn't buying into any Cam Newton hype these days.
The well-known host, who now works for Fox Sports, said Newton is put in the upper-echelon of quarterbacks due to his popularity because he's a star, but that he's really not a "great" signal-caller.

When it comes to Cam Newton, don't confuse star with great quarterback. pic.twitter.com/fzZJhkTg19

Cowherd brings up Newton's career quarterback statistics over his six-year career and basically says Newton got lucky to win last year's MVP. Cowherd also believes Newton doesn't put in the time behind the scenes to be a great quarterback compared to the likes of Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, and others.— Herd w/Colin Cowherd (@TheHerd) November 18, 2016
He is the sorest of sore losers......refuses to answer questions......and will ultimately walk out of any press conference any time things don't go his way..... he has done this multiple times.....I have to chuckle every time I see it......he is like a five year old child who somebody took his candy......what a chump he is......he would never rate with any upper echelon QB I have ever seen.....you got to learn to have some CLASS baby and YOU don't have it
Nice game for Cam and the 5-2 Panthers
Newton’s command performance against the Baltimore Ravens pushed the Carolina Panthers to 5-2 and provided an opportunity to appreciate a player who has grown underappreciated. In a 36-21 victory, Newton threw for 219 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, adding another score on the ground, recording 52 rushing yards on 10 carries. The Panthers are a contender in the NFC, and Newton is perhaps as essential to their success as he’s ever been, still in his prime, still as dominant as ever.
Despite his success, Newton has faded from the forefront of NFL consciousness. When lists of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks get compiled, Newton’s name isn’t on them. He doesn’t have the slick precision of Aaron Rodgers, the age-defying brilliance of Tom Brady or the incandescent arrival of Patrick Mahomes. His passing numbers, in a league governed by mind-warping passing numbers, do not stand out. His team isn’t undefeated, he didn’t just sign a monster contract and he’s not returning from a major injury. There’s nothing new at this point about Newton. Everyone has a case of Cam Fatigue.
