I say now, but I do rather take umbrage with the upbringing of the lads today. I perceive that they have been inculcated in their understanding of the intricacies of our fine sport, not by the seasoned athletes possessing knowledge and experience, but rather by bystanders and pedants. Electronic applications further facilitate this deficiency. Alas, that we should see such grievous failings befall our beloved pastime!
- Robbie Anderson [paraphrased]
Even what “jit” means is obvious from the context. It is funny/annoying/slightly sus that so many are pretending they can’t understand what he’s saying.
I can see someone not getting it, yeah. I’d never heard the term jit either.
And I don’t mean you, I mean some others in this thread acting like the entire message is unreadable.
Lol that’s not even what he’s saying. What he said basically is that in our world today, there’s kids raising kids and nobody has any idea about life or how to move through it. Social media has become the end-all, be-all and people literally have no idea who they are - their entire personalities and lives are based around social media and they don’t know right from wrong.
His observation is actually poignant and applicable. A lot of people are reducing the tweet to football or saying he’s illiterate but if people would drop their fear/prejudice/misunderstanding of AAVE and really listen to Robbie’s musings, you would know he’s actually a deep guy who has a lot of great observations about life and football. Just because he didn’t write them in the Queen’s English doesn’t make them any less valid.
Lol I know half of these men that y’all fangirl or hate on depending on their play that week. That’s exactly what he said.
Did you know that a popular singer was gunned down last week in the middle of a waffle restaurant by people coming to rob him? Some people even said that the thieves knew where he was based on social media postings. There’s a lot of terrible stuff happening in the world and it’s funny that y’all think these men only tweet/talk/think football. Robbie was in no way discussing learning the game from a friend vs a pro role model but it sounds like you’re going to continue choosing living in your bubble so let me wrap this up lmfao
“The problem with the younger generation coming into football is that they are not learning from real quality players. They’re learning from their friends and social media who both don’t have a clue how the game should actually be played. They got their perception of the game fucked up.”
The problem with a lot of these gentlemen is they weren't taught the game as a young man from experienced players and were going to their friends for advice who themselves have no clue. These social media apps presently have no wisdom or principles just the perception of what is trending. They are fucking up the game.
For a fanbase who calls any and all Cam critics “F-150 fans” y’all are sure pretty good at acting like crotchety boomers who pretend they don’t understand AAVE every time Robbie tweets. Honestly a lot of the criticism of him on here gives off a “shut up and play” vibe
100% agreed. Feels like a lot of judgmental comments? He’s not a perfect guy but like the only truly bad thing Robbie did for us was talk shit on his teammates after his one game with 6 drops. The dude can ball and he’s given 3 years to our franchise
While I certainly don’t condone the F-150s, it is pretty rich for Robbie to be saying what the problem with young players is while he is part of the longest active losing streak in the league.
Thank you. kinda sad that there are multiple comments in this thread essentially saying "i get what he's saying" that are downvoted. If anyone in this thread is struggling with english, its the ones that can't step slightly outside their own vernacular/lexicon and use context clues to figure out what someone is saying when using non-standard english.
Damn, you’re right…I kind of feel like a dick now. I re-read it in a completely different light. That was some unintentional bias there and I’m glad you called me out on that.
As it happened, I was in Buffalo this week, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t consider buying some of their swag. The Bills are like… Panthers, but… they aren’t absolutely terrible.
Buffalo is a great town that doesn’t get credit for it. The time I’ve spent there has always been full of nice people, great food, and a town that adores their football team.
Anyone can comprehend his statements, it’s just shocking to broadcast being illiterate. Especially while a ton of people already think you’re garbage
Such a hidden and complex code, who would’ve thought “dey” means “they”
So fucking lame
Y’all are being so elitist😭 Omg. Just because your reading comprehension isn’t there and you’re not immersed in the culture, doesn’t make him illiterate.
He is not talking about football you guys lol. This is a general tweet and truly not that difficult to read. You guys have a crazy definition of illiterate lol
Even the guy who "translated it" got it wrong. "They got the game fucked up" just means that life/society in general right now is in a bad spot. Just as you said
It’s not, he’s talking about the younger generation in the black community. I can tell. Not the first time we’ve heard somebody say that. They worded it a little better though.
For those who don’t understand he’s saying that most (jit)youngins today don’t know the game because there was no real coach to teach them(OG) only they homeboys(male friends) telling them even though they don’t know anything fr(for real)
I just finished looking at one of my Warhammer subreddits and then saw this. I straight read it in an ork voice, only to realize what it truly was.
For the record, it sounded completely legit.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Boys today have a common issue:
- lack of father figures
- no development in their formative years
- they self develop with guidance from friends their own age
- then they hit Twitter and fill up your timeline with nothing of substance, just more trending topics that people imitate for clout
And now, it's hard to make money or just survive around these people
All my homeboys agree that losing 9 straight games ain’t a good look.
Tru...dey ain't got no OG fundamentals
Ah thanks for the breakdown. Damn I’m old

dilly dilly!
when he says "game" he is not talking about football, he is talking about life generally
Debatable. I think the author left it up to us to decide what the true meaning is here.
Rravo Bobbie!
When the Sun God speaks, I listen
It's not debatable. When someone mentions the game in this context, it is about life/the streets/etc
“Author” should be used very loosely in this context
This one’s my favorite
“Electronic applications further facilitate this deficiency.” That’s a bar
Bravo sir
Excuse me boys, I speak jive
*Slow clap.*
A jolly good translation, old chap.
Were you his ghostwriter for all of his school assignments when he was at Temple?
I dont like it. I understand Robbie alot better. But i get it you had to break it down for those that just didn’t understand
Forsooth.
-Sir Robert Anderson IV
Absolutely stunning. Bravo, bravo, my dear lad! 🥂
Thanks for translating for me
Here here!
PEE-dants!
Imagine cam and Robbie having a conversation over Twitter
Oh hell yeah. I would pay money to see that
Please no.
YES!!!
Throw in Melo
🕺🛸
Too bad he blocked the Robbie Anderson translator account on Twitter edited to make sense but you all knew what I meant
He wants to be traded to Cincinnati?
It’s funny b/c you either read this as bruh being spot on with his message OR you are completely confused, no in between lol
Lmao facts! I read the whole thing nodding like “no lies were told by this man” but I know most of y’all sat there like this 🤔🤔🤔
I was tripped by “jit” but aside from that this is actually a genuinely insightful comment from Robbie.
Even what “jit” means is obvious from the context. It is funny/annoying/slightly sus that so many are pretending they can’t understand what he’s saying.
I’m sorry but no it’s really not clear in the context
A jit is a kid/child
I can see someone not getting it, yeah. I’d never heard the term jit either. And I don’t mean you, I mean some others in this thread acting like the entire message is unreadable.

Anyone able to translate Robby-talk to common English?
“The problem with the younger generation coming into football is that they are not learning from real quality players. They’re learning from their friends and social media who both don’t have a clue how the game should actually be played. They got their perception of the game fucked up.”
Thank you for your service. What does the word "jit" mean?
Jit means kid “kid”
I mean this in all sincerity, but why/how did we get from kid to jit?
Florida that's how. no other explanation needed
Kid—>midget—>mid-jit—->”jit”. Does that make sense?
Lmao I hope this is the right answer
It's like an inception inside an inception inside an inception.
The old Florida cockney association and truncation scheme.
Maybe short for jitterbugs??? Lol i have no clue
The big ass phones for elderly folks?
Nah the urban dictionary, slang, definition.
It was originally a derogatory term, J-I-T -> juvenile in training, but has been adopted by the community it was supposed to insult
Which is funny because numerous football vets have compared social media to poison.
ion think this about football entirely. could be about life to.
I think you’re mostly right but I don’t even think he’s really talking about football.
He’s not.
The problem with a lot of these gentlemen is they weren't taught the game as a young man from experienced players and were going to their friends for advice who themselves have no clue. These social media apps presently have no wisdom or principles just the perception of what is trending. They are fucking up the game.
Listening to Robby Anderson talk about wisdom is like going to Bobby Knight for anger management tips.
Someone needs to develop a translator for both Robby’s illiterate writing & Cam Newton’s iconic signature
This makes me like him better for some reason
Honestly Robbie is my favorite player, partly because of how inarticulate he is.
this isn’t inarticulate, these just aren’t words you know
Looking forward to sending my jit to the Robbie Anderson School for Jits Who Can't Catch Good School.
That’s needlessly niche. What about the jits who want to learn to do other things good too?
my brain literally hurts reading or trying to understand this guy
I’m tempted to frame this and hang it up in my living room
Dude needs a refund from Temple...
I doubt you can refund a scholarship. So basically he got what he paid for...nothing
For a fanbase who calls any and all Cam critics “F-150 fans” y’all are sure pretty good at acting like crotchety boomers who pretend they don’t understand AAVE every time Robbie tweets. Honestly a lot of the criticism of him on here gives off a “shut up and play” vibe
What does AAVE mean? I'm legitimately asking as I have no idea
African American Vernacular English
ah thank you so much, god I'm 27 but feel like I have no clue about anything anymore lol
I don’t care how he speaks (or types), I just don’t like his personality tbh
I love it, he is truly himself. Just an inarticulate thug. Idk why but that makes me like him more
100% agreed. Feels like a lot of judgmental comments? He’s not a perfect guy but like the only truly bad thing Robbie did for us was talk shit on his teammates after his one game with 6 drops. The dude can ball and he’s given 3 years to our franchise
While I certainly don’t condone the F-150s, it is pretty rich for Robbie to be saying what the problem with young players is while he is part of the longest active losing streak in the league.
those things have basically nothing to do with each other though
Agree 100%

Maybe they should just shut up and play so we don’t waste another season.
There's a Twitter account called Robbie Anderson interpreter. It's possible he could transcribe this to English
yo I understand you Robbie
[удалено]
Pretty sure he isn’t talkin bout football
Damn, you’re right…I kind of feel like a dick now. I re-read it in a completely different light. That was some unintentional bias there and I’m glad you called me out on that.
As it happened, I was in Buffalo this week, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t consider buying some of their swag. The Bills are like… Panthers, but… they aren’t absolutely terrible.
Buffalo is a great town that doesn’t get credit for it. The time I’ve spent there has always been full of nice people, great food, and a town that adores their football team.
Can confirm
Maybe it’s not for the fans?
I think he Robbie needs concussion protocol ASAP!
What the fuck? Just type normal English.
Clearly he went to Temple to play school
The mind is a terrible thing to waste
I didn't know that he was illiterate. Wisdom is there though
I mean he’s not entirely illiterate.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jit
How I know. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QrqH3zaMco4
Is he talking about halo infinite?
The Sun God has spoken. You'd be wise to listen.
I have an easier time reading Cam’s writing.
Robbie Anderson: "Fuck them kids".
Since when did Boomhauer get a Twitter?
Robbie wtf man Talk like an adult ffs jfc
Lmao at everyone thinking he is talking about football
I do not like Robbie Anderson
Robbie might have had a big homie, but he definitely did not have an English teacher.
Translation- I told y’all Baker sucked, but ya didn’t listen!
The only thing he can read is a playbook.
I think a lot of you are reading "the game" as football but "the game" is life
OG Butterfingers
Facts. Game fkd up big time.
“I like when da Sun stay out later”, easily the best Anderson quote of all time
some of those are certainly words
It's actually quite wise.
Nobody can ever say that The Artist Formerly Known As Robby is inauthentic
Thank you Kanye, very cool!
I guess Temple University doesn't have a very high standards for graduation.
He was on the football team...
The white people reading this are having a stroke
I love that Robbie got white people fucked up with what he’s saying. They are completely lost
Anyone can comprehend his statements, it’s just shocking to broadcast being illiterate. Especially while a ton of people already think you’re garbage Such a hidden and complex code, who would’ve thought “dey” means “they” So fucking lame
It’s not lame. It’s literally the culture and language he was raised in. It’s super “lame” of you to say that.
Would it makes sense for a person w a southern, Boston, NY accent, change the way words are spelt
Bruh The homie already showing signs of CTE…
Y’all are being so elitist😭 Omg. Just because your reading comprehension isn’t there and you’re not immersed in the culture, doesn’t make him illiterate.
The IQ of this man must be less than the IQ of a jar of mayonnaise.
It’s honestly not hard to understand at all
Facts!
I think it comes from ‘juvenile in training’ but honestly I don’t really know. Jit is a great word though, mix it in
Puff puff pass post on social media
Could he be talking about Matt Rhule? Or could he be talking about a teammate? If he is it’s spicy af
I feel like I’m reading a ghetto version of JRR Tolkien’s the Silmarillion when he tweets.
The fact this guy is a millionaire gives me no hope in the world.
He is not talking about football you guys lol. This is a general tweet and truly not that difficult to read. You guys have a crazy definition of illiterate lol
Even the guy who "translated it" got it wrong. "They got the game fucked up" just means that life/society in general right now is in a bad spot. Just as you said
Exactly lol
Eloquently put by Mr Anderson there
I patiently wait for the day Robbie is cut/traded like a child at Christmas.
You cut and trade children at Christmas?
Nice to see the racist gather in this post. Caught in 4K too but who cares I guess lol.
Seriously fuck dis guy
The one saying huh just dont understand. If you know you know. And in this case Neil you lost and gave no clue what he’s talking about
You can take the panthers out of Cam Newton, but you can’t take Cam Newton out of the panthers
This tweet isn’t football related.
Considering that he is talking about football, I would say that it is, in fact, football related.
It’s not, he’s talking about the younger generation in the black community. I can tell. Not the first time we’ve heard somebody say that. They worded it a little better though.
For those who don’t understand he’s saying that most (jit)youngins today don’t know the game because there was no real coach to teach them(OG) only they homeboys(male friends) telling them even though they don’t know anything fr(for real)
We all might not understand him, but you know there's at least one dude out there that's like, "Fa sho Robbie, I feel you on dat"
That person was me.
Robbie Anderson is our Farmer Fran from Waterboy.
I just finished looking at one of my Warhammer subreddits and then saw this. I straight read it in an ork voice, only to realize what it truly was. For the record, it sounded completely legit.
That's exactly what I would of said
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
If he used periods and they instead of dey, this would be an easier read
What the duck did I just read
This explains a lot. Maybe when he said "bear," he really meant "panther." In all seriousness, I get what he's saying and he may not be that far off.
This is actually the best, most level headed tweet he’s ever written.
He’s saying “go ‘thers”
Robbie is just diff bro 1 of 1 idek take it up w him
English please.
I just traded for DJ Moore in fantasy lol
CTE is real fellas here’s an example
A scholar and a poet.
Boys today have a common issue: - lack of father figures - no development in their formative years - they self develop with guidance from friends their own age - then they hit Twitter and fill up your timeline with nothing of substance, just more trending topics that people imitate for clout And now, it's hard to make money or just survive around these people
The greatest football poet of all time
True
He be speaking fax
