Former NFL wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. criticized ex-teammate Cam Newton for calling the Carolina Panthers a "locker room of losers" prior to his arrival. In a podcast, Newton discussed the impact of being the first overall pick in the draft, reflecting on how the Panthers struggled with a 2-14 record. Smith, who played on that struggling team, retorted on social media, emphasizing that Newton's comments unfairly blame the entire team for its previous failures rather than acknowledging collective responsibility for their performance.
'53 man locker room -- 1 = 52 losers. Wow... breaking news to 89,' Smith responded to Newton's comments about the Panthers' mentality when he joined.
'I've watched & listened from afar as U @CameronNewton talk about @Panthers! None of us are perfect. Yes We were 2-14 before you blessed us w ur presence.'
