Internet finds old tweets criticizing Cam Newton
The power of Cam Newton is real.
With the Carolina Panthers quarterback ending his year of flourish by heading to Super Bowl 50 against the Denver Broncos, Twitter dug up some ancient tweets from NFL analysts that claimed Newton would not succeed in the league:
After breaking down Christian Ponder and Cam Newton on tape, I would take Ponder over Newton. That's just me. '

to answer a question that's been blowing up my inbox: Cam Newton is not an NFL QB. At all. Great athlete. Heisman contender. That's all

Long term give me Josh Freeman over Cam. Better leader, more consistent passer, more clutch, more poised under fire, more careful with ball.

Miller greeted the people who were calling him out on his ancient tweet:
Hi. Welcome to my page. I was wrong about Cam Newton in October 2010. I've been wrong so many other times too. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure none of you care...but Cam ended up in my Top 10 for 2011 draft and was my #1 pick in the mock. But go ahead with old tweets. πΈβοΈ
