Cam getting kicked out of Florida was probably the best thing for both Cam and the Panthers.  It kickstarted an accelerated growth of him as a person and forced him to realize just how precious his opportunity was and to buckle down and get serious about it.  We all know what happened after that.

 

Back-to-back national championships, Heisman (along with like every other major college award), one of the greatest college seasons ever, 1st overall pick, greatest QB rookie season ever.

 

What Cam found out during that setback to rock bottom is something some athletes still haven't realized yet.

 

And also... who knows if he stayed at Florida he might not have even declared for the 2011 draft after sitting behind T-bow all that time and we missed drafting him altogether... and who knows who the hell we would've took that year at #1 overall. :(

The media knows that Cam is a class act. Why? Because at the age of 18, he didn't make excuses for his mistakes but instead re-evaluated his life and turn things around by going through the fire. IMO, that is what true humility is. Those in today's media are more than happy to make excuses their chosen QBs like Griffin, Luck and others. While acting like Cam needs endless humbling  every time he does something they don't like. It's like they want to take some credit for where he is today.

 

Behind all of that swag lies a young man who is as humble as they come. It's a shame we're not encouraged to see him in that light.  I would much rather learn from a kid who has been through the fire  and humbled by life, than one who is painted as "humble" by today's media.

Think about it, He was at the age where young men are still knuckle heads, 18/19.  Yet, he learned from his mistakes.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.

      Canes vs Lightning 7pm

      Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.

      Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
