Dude has a reason to be frustrated, I dont know another team in the league that keeps their qb in front of the cameras like that knowing the team is struggling that way. He tried hard not to spill the beans on whats wrong there, he absolutely knows what the problem is but stopped just short of saying it, and why do we never see rivera on camera taking responsibility for what's going on?

You know Rivera does post games too, it's just that Cam's moping is more newsworthy then a coach spitting the same old coachspeak to reporters.

I don't feel bad for Cam because I saw him miss a 7 yard throw on the goal line to a wide open receiver that cost his team the game vs. Seattle.

He isn't really lighting the world on fire with his play

Thats my point, we never see him on tv basically. Cam missed a throw yeah we saw that. Still he doesnt deserve all the shyt he takes.

He definitely doesn't deserve all the blame, but the way he responds to losses is the reason we see him on TV.

It's not like a setup, the media records all those post-games, it's just that Cam post-games standout the most because of his demeanor.

he just needs to mature. Quarterbacks arent really successful unless they the hardest working, most dedicated motherfukker on that team. The type of dude who scrambles for a first down and is already trying to figure out the next play as he's getting tackled.

hopefully Cam will get there with age. as of right now he's too busy dancin after plays.

This thread reminds me a lot of when :jawalrus: was around and all I heard was "Oakland just needs to surround him with talent, he just needs to work harder, he's gonna be better than folks give him credit for, watch."

Well 5 years later and no one even mentions that dude anymore except for jokes and punchlines. Cam has way more talent, but his work ethic and demeanor is not all that different from Russell. Russell just snuck in a ridiculous contract.

Some of these gifted QBs just don't work out... and a lot of the times, it's really just a mental issue or nagging injury. I think Cam still has another few years to prove himself, but he has seen how quick Carolina is to draft another "franchise QB" after the Jimmy Clausen failure. I just hope he doesn't end up like Vince Young.

I'm getting a little tired of people calling their team the worst organization in sports.


When did that title get taken away from the Bengals? :wow:

What would me talking about Russell have to do with being an Atlanta fan? :rudy:

I said exactly what I compared them on. Work ethic/character issues. Are you saying that Cam has carried himself well in regards to speaking on the games? Dude is reaching Jay Cutler status with some of his actions.
