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.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
