After hearing more of this... it's loser babble.
It's someone who never played with a great supporting cast trying to create a separation between those like him and the people he presumes have it 'easy' because their team ownership put them in position to succeed.
The 'truck vs trailer' metaphor actually made it worse. Cam played QB. He understands that all offensive production revolves around that position. For him to flippantly attempt to discredit people still doing a thing that - like it or not - he
washed out of, just seems bitter. Like he's trying to posthumously praise his own career when... we can see the stats, Cam. We watched. We saw you have a great year and then collapse.
Trying to go 'when I think of X team, I think of Y first, not their QB' is the kind of bullshyt you say when you're judging a team based on who their highest madden rating player is. It's something I'd expect from a casual armchair viewer, not someone who watches film and sees folks going through progressions, making correct reads and hitting the right person.
If you're doing those things... 1) how are you
not changing the game? and 2) how much
game changing is needed? You only need to put a team on your back every game when the team is badly constructed, or you aren't executing the game plan correctly. By his logic, it'd be impossible to be a game changer if you have a good team around you and your scheme works to allow you to make your reads, throw the right pass, and let the skill positions show their skill.
The audacity of this man to call Manning and Brady 'elite game managers'
He trying to play the victim, but people are bothered because Cam should know better than to do this bullshyt. Especially because, for the latter
half of his career, he couldn't even be reliably counted on to game manage. He was never accurate enough for that. Didn't make the right reads even at the best of times. When his athleticism left him, his career collapsed.
Sour grapes like a motherfukker.
