CNewton disagreed tom bradymost recently asserted current National Football League Quarterback performance was mediocre due to rule changes.
While acknowledging Brady’s extensive accomplishments, Newton dismissed criticism as unnecessary and suggested it should be accompanied by more humility.
“I thought Brady was doing some nasty things,” Newton said.
“Like, he can make a statement like that, but he doesn’t have to make a statement like that. He’s like a lot of mediocrity in the NFL today … and I’m like a brother.”
“Brady, with all due respect, a lot of people will never achieve what he’s been able to do in our lifetimes. You don’t see (Michael) Jordan do that. You know, you don’t see Tiger (Woods) in his career In my prime, I did that. But I’m just looking forward to more.”

It’s worth noting that Brady was criticizing the rules rather than the players themselves, but his past controversies, including Tucker Rule play, Deflategate, Spygate and favorable officiating decisions, have led some fans to question his perspective.
“I think there are a lot of mediocre things going on today National Football League. I don’t see the excellence that I saw in the past,” Brady told The Stephen A. Smith Show.
“I don’t think the coaching is as good as it used to be. I don’t think the young player development is as good as it used to be. I don’t think the programs are as good as they used to be.”
“Those rules allowed a lot of bad habits to get into the actual performance of the game. So I just think the product I think is not as good as it used to be.”
