We've seen and heard a lot about the relationship between the two QBs, and Newton always makes it seem like DW is his protege. At least that's how I've perceived it.
While DW likes to celebrate, he has yet to show anger and blame his mistakes on others. As his magical journey progresses, I hope and expect he will continue to reveal just how special he is.
Re: Watson will show how he differs from Cam Newton

The fact the DW and Cam are friends probably means Cam is a good-guy (underneath his veneer).
I agree that Watson handles himself differently than Cam did in college. Watson does celebrate a little, but it's nothing excessive. Actually, I think DW can teach Cam a thing or two about handling adversity/defeat. There's little doubt DW would have handled the defeat to the Broncos better than Cam did. Cam was clearly flustered and probably wishes he had kept his cool.
In contracts to Cam, DW comes off as very humble. He always shoulders the blame for his performance, and takes the blame when his team underperforms (even if he has nothing to do with it). He acts like a 20 year-old CEO. He's publicly unflappable.
DW is a special kid, and he's emotionally more Mature than Cam is in some ways right now. Again, I don't think Cam is a bad-guy. We're just lucky that DW is who he is.
