Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson fired back at Cam Newton on Wednesday over some comments the ex-NFL MVP made about current Lions quarterback Jared Goff.

On his podcast, Newton gave his assessment of several top quarterbacks. However, the former Carolina Panthers star was less-than-complimentary of numerous top-end quarterbacks. Newton termed Brock Purdy, Tua Tagovailoa, Dak Prescott and Goff “game managers.”

Gardner-Johnson saw Newton’s comments and did not appreciate them. He fired back in defense of his Lions teammate, Goff.

“If Cam talking about [Goff], then what are you ! Last time I check (sic) you couldn’t manage a game STOP COMING FOR MY QB!! Bring me on so we can talk FUNKY WEDNESDAY!!”
