Prove it Contract for Star Quarterback Cam Newton

Last Sunday, the New England Patriots signed star Quarterback Cam Newton. 

Cam Newton has been accustomed to injuries in the last few seasons. 

In 2014, he got into a car accident which resulted in a Back Vertebral Fracture. 

Cam Newton hasn’t played 14 games in one season since 2018. 

The two games he missed was the Panthers shutting him down due to a shoulder injury that he played through the whole season. Cam Newton had undergone shoulder surgery in Jan 2018. 

Other injuries he has dealt with in his career are Chest Rib Fracture and Ankle tears. 

Last season, Cam Newton injured his left foot which was later announced as a Pedal Lisfranc Sprain in week two which lead to him sitting out the rest of the season. 

Cam Newton when healthy is an electrifying Quarterback who can beat you with his arm as well as his legs. 

In nine NFL seasons, Cam Newton has thrown for 29,041 passing yards, 182 passing touchdowns, 4,806 rushing yards, 58 rushing touchdowns.  He also has made the Pro Bowl team three times, First Team All-Pro in 2015, 17 game-winning drives, and one Super Bowl appearance. He has also won 2011 Offensive NFL Rookie of the Year, Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year, 2015 MVP and Offensive Player of the Year in 2015, and has been in the NFL Top 100 ranking from 2012-2019, with his peak being in 2014 ranking as low #24.

Cam Newton gets another shot to show everyone that he still has it with the signing in New England. 

However, the one year $550 K deal with the Patriots, looks like they brought him in for insurance backup if young promising Quarterback Jarrett Stidham struggles early during the regular season. Cam Newton also has a base salary of $1.05 million. Newton can make up to $6.45 million in incentives/per-game roster bonuses. 

Say what you want about Cam, but when it comes to crunch time he knows how to win 68-56-1 record in nine seasons. 

If Cam Newton can stay healthy it is no brainer he should start week 1 over Jarrett Stidham!

Russell Westbrook Rewrites History

Russell Westbrook rewrote history last night against the Denver Nuggets. After becoming the second player in NBA history since Oscar Robertson, to average a triple-double all season last Friday.

Russell Westbrook wasn't done breaking records. Last night, Russell Westbrook broke the single season record for most triple doubles which was set by Oscar Robertson at 41. Westbrook finished with 50 points, 16 rebounds, and ten assists. With that performance, Russell Westbrook now has 42 triple-doubles in a season.

As if breaking the single season record for most triple-doubles wasn't enough, Russell Westbrook added a cherry on top with a buzzer beater three from 36 ft out to beat the Denver Nuggets 106-105.

Shockingly, that was his first career buzzer beater, but I'm pretty sure there will be plenty more in his career.

Some are born to fit in, and then there is Russell Westbrook who was born to stand out. Westbrook has silenced every critic this season with his phenomenal play.

I know the MVP award is based off winning, but if you would have told me the Oklahoma City Thunder, would be the sixth seed in the Western Conference Playoffs after Kevin Durant left them in the off season. I would have laughed in your face and said you were crazy.

Russell Westbrook has taken a  subpar team to the playoffs. I think that alone should be enough to win the MVP award; nonetheless, he averaged a triple-double all season.

We will soon see if the voters have some common sense on who should be the MVP this year.
