Cam's first-down celebrations really bother a lot of people. Why?

[WOW!!]

Because some people don't have a life outside of their personal opinion of what somebody else should be.

I'm a old fug and I watched Bart Star and think every body playing QB should act and be like him for some reason.

The celebration doesn't bother me, but I think I know what the issue is, honestly.

When Tom Brady gets a first down, like CRA pointed out, he does the first down chop with intensity. When Jimmy Graham gets a first down (or ties his shoes right or anything else) he gets up like he's the Ultimate Warrior, flexing and screaming with intensity.

Cam's first down point has no intensity. It's just a point, and it doesn't look like he's doing it out of emotion at all, but just as like a "ha, fug you" sort of taunt. If he got up and was like 'woohoo, first down, yay celebrate," I don't think anyone would care. But he doesn't come off legit happy and celebrating, he comes off like he's doing the taunt routine he made up and forces.

I think that's actually a really good point. The other aspect to this is that it happens WAY more often for cam than it does for other QBs which IMO should downplay the reaction a little bit.

Wtf am i the only one that does cams first down celebration while he does it?

[stirs]

I don't like celebrations in general unless it is congratulating teammates.  The individual bringing attention to himself is a bit over the top for me.

 

For instance, when TD busts someone behind the line, he is mobbed by his teammates and they slap each others helmets in a genuine show of emotion.

 

When someone runs off to be by themselves on the field so they can strike some lame pose, as someone has already said, it seems theatrical at best.

 

This goes for Aaron Rogers an his stupid belt thing, get over yourself, go congratulate your teammate that just caught your pass.

 

Anyway, the team thing is paramount for me.

You said every first down he gets. That's not true.

 

Then it's not true for Cam either. He hasn't done the point on every first down he's ever rushed for, just most of them. Like Brady and his chop/punch thing.

Where did I say that about Cam?

No I get hype and do it to.

[Kevin Greene]

I'd rather not see it personally after every 1st down.

Only because it might supply more fuel/motivation to the opposition.

Anything gets old if you over use it. I'm 53 by the way.

Let me give you an opportunity to clarify your argument before we continue because I feel we are getting mired in pointless pedantics.

 

You asked if Cam will still be doing it when he is 30.

 

I said Brady is still doing it late in his career.

 

You disagreed with something I said. So what's the disagreement? 

 

 

I do think Cam will be doing it at 30 and it's fine because Brady is still doing it at 37 and nobody really cares.

You said Brady celebrated EVERY first down. I disagreed with you. What else?

 

[C47]

i havent heard anyone whine about this this year.  is this a thing or just a whine about a whine?

 

You don't listen to local sports talk radio I guess.

[Car123]

My thing is

Why are you celebrating EVERY 1st down?

A TD? sure. A crucial 3rd down conversion at a pivotal point in the game? sure. A huge / explosive run or pass play? sure.

But a generic basic every 1st down? I am not sure about that.

Jesus christ he doesn't do it every first down.
