'I Did My Job' - Cam Newton Claims He Wouldn't Trade His MVP For A Super Bowl Championship, Wouldn't Even Consider It
This quote is making the rounds because everyone thinks of Cam Newton and this:
Here's the thing, he's not wrong. Yeah, I mean, sure, you want to hear him say he wish he beat the Broncos instead, but his argument is fair. Of course the Trent Dilfer's and Nick Foles (respectfully, of course, as he says) would take the Super Bowl. It made their careers. No one thinks of them as better quarterbacks than Cam Newton, that's just a fact. Same goes for all the other quarterbacks who haven't won a title - Dan Marino, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jim Kelly, etc.
That said, Devin McCourty, staring at him after all the years in New England is perfect TV.

You know he's just begging for this to end. He can't there and wait any longer. I don't know, I just don't care about Cam Newton saying he'd take MVP over Super Bowl. He had one chance for both, he wants the individual success. Probably doesn't help the Panthers/Newton relationship hasn't been the best over the years. Again, I don't give a shit. Cam Newton winning MVP vs a Super Bowl title has no impact on my life or fandom, but at least he's honest? I'd rather hear that sort of answer than some bland, boring, canned answer we get all the time.
I can't help but laugh at him just throwing Nick Foles under the bus though. He listed Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson, fine. But the RESPECTFULLY before Nick Foles is laugh out loud funny. Man simply can't believe Foles won a Super Bowl. It still has him in a pretzel that he threw out the respectfully beforehand.
This is the debate people have all the time. What's more important, what would you rather have, what's better in a debate. MVP or team title. Charles Barkley famously said he wouldn't trade his career for Robert Horry. This is slightly different because it's not career but rather 1 achievement. Cam is taking his MVP and his hats, ain't nothing gonna change his mind.
