Nothing makes me more furious than people being labeled as “dumb” because they learn in a different way. Often, those folks are bright, and have an enormous gift in another way. God blessed Cam with enormous athleticism and arm talent….and the smarts to know how to use it. People need to stop labeling when they have zero idea about how differently we all learn, that has nothing to do with intelligence, or lack thereof.

I was pretty clear he was accepted to Stanford, never said he was a “Stanford Man”. Doubt he would have lasted a day.

Did not. One of my nephews went to Stanford. Most USC alums have great respect for Stanford. Yes, CMC shredded us, am I supposed to dislike him for that? Your current QB did not lose to Stanford, he beat them.

Nope, I know all about it.

I hope you’re being sarcastic.

See added info.

The academic standards for admission to Stanford is exactly the same for athletes as it is the general student population. It is widely known that Stanford has that standard for admission, and even if your daddy is a big dollar donor, your kid doesn’t have the grades, they don’t get in. That is why Stanford has the smallest recruiting pool to draw from of all the power 5 universities. “Stanford is one of the hardest universities to attend even for football players. With a 4.7 percent acceptance rate, only the best students in the world attend the university. To get into Stanford, students need to excel in AP classes, the SAT, the ACT, their overall GPA, and their five required essays. For Stanford athletes and football players, student-athletes have the same academic expectations to be accepted. Every year, Stanford fans are disappointed by someone decommiting when there’s nothing Coach Shaw and his staff could have done to convince the recruit to stay because ultimately, the admissions team decides who plays football for Stanford. Ryan Bartow, a 247Sports national recruiting insider, tells recruits that with a 26 on the ACT they might have a chance at Stanford. Scoring a 26 is difficult enough for regular students, but imagine those trying to manage playing top high school football while studying for the ACT. A 26 lands athletes in the 83rd percentile range, much higher than the typical student. To go to Stanford, athletes can’t be just a typical student. They need to excel. If a recruit scores a 26, at least they have a chance to be accepted into Stanford. With high academic standards, Stanford has a limited pool of recruits, putting them at a disadvantage. David Shaw recently mentioned that only forty to fifty high school players are legitimate prospects. Shaw told CBS sports, “I’m not kidding. If we’re recruiting more than fifty guys, we’re kidding ourselves.” With twenty five spots to fill, Shaw probably aims at getting around twenty players per year, so he must convince about forty percent of his potential recruits to choose Stanford.”

Actually, he’s not dumb. At all. Now…..does he lack common sense, yes. A payaso. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/jameis-winston-regrets-not-attending-stanford He would have gotten thrown out of Stanford if he had pulled that lunch time vulgar rant he pulled at whatever school he ended up attending.

You guys are savage.

Poor kid, his talent is impressive….love his toughness. That oline couldn’t even snap the ball when Sam was there, hopefully he doesn’t suffer the same fate. I wish him well.

I recall reading that he had to lose a lot of weight for the combine…..his mother is a caterer (Southern food), and she fed him well. Hope he doesn’t eat himself out of the league. Like a lot of us mamas, we love to feed our babies, “food is love” isn’t always a good thing. https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/q-a-with-jets-ol-mekhi-becton-on-his-mom-s-cooking-basketball-and-more

He and the offense can grow together, that defense though…….

He has good coaching, great weapons and it seems his teammates respect him. He has a real team around him. Watching interviews in Carolina, he looks happy, you can see it in his eyes, clear brow. He is loyal to a fault, if he plays well, develops into a good consistent QB, he’ll never want to leave.

Show her this…

You can bet his close friend, Clayton Kershaw factored large in this decision. Kershaw is greatly loved in L.A., not only as a HOF pitcher, but as a stellar human being. He put in a “good word” for L.A.

Coach Rhule is lying through his teeth….why would grown a$$ football players vote for a boring, bland, washed up Clausen as a team captain? Message board members wouldn’t do it.

Unbridled gunslinger. A little too much will to win leads to desperation throws. The Jets couldn’t win without him, not once.

I like him, love his style.

If Sam sucks, it doesn’t mean the Jets didn’t…..they’re not mutually exclusive.

A lot of good people on this forum, fair and reasonable….those two aren’t in that group. I feel sorry for the two players they’re obsessed with, they’re not healthy individuals. A QB is a team leader, if you are a fan of that QB, you should respect his team and fans as well, your conduct is a reflection of that player.

It irks me no end that those people drafted AVT, another good kid gone to the depths of hell.

With all due respect, Sam was following his own long standing personal sense of responsibility and integrity. He is the same mature young man he was in HS, college and when he entered the NFL. If you knew his parents, you would understand how he was raised. Sam may share Coach Rhules mantra, but it was ingrained in Sam long ago. I understand the negativity and questioning of Sam’s performance in the NFL thus far…..I don’t get involved in that, but I just have to say that the manner in which he takes responsibility for his, and the teams performance in a loss, all on himself, is who Sam has always been.

You sure piled up a lot of poo as the vocal leader of negativity on this forum, congrats!

Well….he’s the worst, till he isn’t. Up to Sam to prove otherwise. If his play on the field catches up with his integrity, dedication and love for the game, all that negativity goes out the door, and the Panthers’ gamble pays off.
