Cam probably just didn't feel like answering 50 questions about his contract which is a decision I can't really blame him for because other than a question about him graduating, how it feels to have Ted Ginn back and maybe how much better it is to be healthy this offseason would be about the only thing he'd be asked.

,

What Bartin is saying here is:

"If I, Bartin, was asking questions in the press room when Cam spoke, i would realize they would ask him a lot of questions about his contract (so I'd let the others do that so i don't have to), i would ask him about him graduating, I'd ask him about Ginn, and maybe I'd ask him about his health. Other than that, i can't think of any good questions"

Cam doesnt like talking to the media. that is a fact.

I disagree. Cam does a Superman thing (Superman is arguably the greatest American icon ever) as his move in the NFL when he scores on running plays. Dude is not afraid of the press/publicity. If he ever becomes this shy "aw suwks" guy like the New York press dogs on Eli for, i would be saddened. Cam is the ultimate warrior. He fears NO ONE. Especially not the lowly guys writing articles instead of beating people's asses in on the field.

Because there are no good questions to ask right now. What the hell are you going to ask him about right now that would be interesting to your readers? A question about whether he wants an OL or a WR from the draft? He would give a non answer to that, trusts the GM to make the right choice. Some question about Oher and Martin? He'd say he's looking forward to working with them or something. The one thing the entire fan base wants to know about is what is going on its his contract and it would be asked 10 different ways to try and squeeze some sort of insightful answer about it from him.

Is it really that big of a deal that he didn't talk to the media today?

 

Anyone who has been around the huddle and followed the Panthers long enough should know by now how some of those in our local media are. I imagine that Newton probably wanted the other players on the team to get an opportunity to speak instead of them having to sit around waiting while our local "journalists" bombard him with the same useless questions about his contract over and over.

A question about whether he wants OT or WR would be fascinating. We have a whole thread speculating on what he'd answer. That’s a good question. Sure, like our team leader on offense, Kalil, he might start with "I trusts the guys upstairs." But Kalil finished with: "please sign some more OL to give us a chance."

Question about Oher and Martin: nobody would hire Cam to be even a high school OT coach, so yeah, not a good question

As for the contract, that's the least thing I want to know about. That's what he pays his agent for.

That's all you got to ask if you met Cam?

If I was a reporter in a press conference? Yes and those are the exact same questions that would have been asked if he was at the podium today in addition to getting bombarded about his contract which he hates.

note that CJ is a higher-ranking team leader and the highest-paid player on our team (3rd highest in NFL for this season) and he didn't speak today, yet no one is bringing that up:

Team Leaders per our head coach:

Offense

1. Kalil (spoke today)

2. Olsen (spoke today)

3. Cam (didn't speak)

Defense

1. TD (spoke today)

2. CJ (didn't speak)

3. Luke (spoke today)

Have you talked to Cam and asked him whether or not he likes to talk to the media GJ?

Do you really think Cam is a weak little bitch that doesn't? F U if so. Dead serious. We are talking about a great person her

 

Cam is not weak and he obviously will talk to the media. That doesn't mean he likes to talk to the media. 2 entirely different things. His rookie year he didn't want to talk to ESPN because of the comments made about him in the pre draft process. He did an interview with Hannah Storm on ESPN and he flat out vilified ESPN. I response to that interview, the media spun things against him again. Cam is not afraid to talk to the media and he is not weak but I don't think he likes the media. Plenty of evidence to support that.

Pleeeease quit making Cam out to be a pussy. For the love of God WTF is wrong with you? Do you really think Cam is so retarded? Look, I've seen pretty much every teammate Cam's had from Luke back to Auburn say Cam is a total clown. And we've seen it with our our eyes with all the silly videos, pics, etc of him being silly. Sure, Luke Kuechly is a General. But if your whole locker room was a bunch of Lukes, it would suck. You need some jokers like Cam to make it not suck.

But that doesn't mean Cam is too dumb/silly/retarded to give interviews or press conferences. It is thoroughly humiliating to the Panthers that you or anybody else thinks so

Fortunately, it's just a few of you message board idiots that think lowly of our QB and soon-to-be locker-room-leader-on-offense once the 30-years-olds (Olsen and Kalil) have moved on...and they mentored Cam...we ARE IN GOOD HANDS

I am not making Cam out to be a p++++. Don't know how you came to that conclusion. Please explain? .

He's not making Cam out to be a pussy. Not wanting to talk to the media if you don't have to isn't the same as being afraid to. If you watch Cam's Wednesday media Q&A you can tell he doesn't care for it. It's a waste of time to most players, getting asked the same old dumb questions or reporters trying to ask deep questions that they know they won't get an answer for. That would be annoying. Cam is comfortable in front of the camera. He just doesn't like stupid questions. For proof, watch how he responds to Joe Person and especially David Newton...

      No lie… to this day, and forever, I’m always still gonna love me some Ted Ginn.  I tell people all the time who aren’t Panther fans so they don’t know - Ted legit was our best receiver during Cam’s tenure here.

      Nah, what he did in Cleveland was damn impressive.     ain’t no way in hell we (it’s my alma mater) should’ve looked like this tonight.  That was piss poor coaching and piss poor playing.  Like they said, for both teams, this was a similar setting to when TCU played Colorado when Deion was hired.  TCU coming in to play a game against a super famous football celebrity figure with a completely overhauled roster - difference is, Colorado played up to the moment.  We just folded like a cheap lawn chair.  I was joking during the game with friends, like they really watched a whole summer of Gio and Max and decided Gio was the starter?  Hell, I bet Bryce Baker as a freshman is better than Gio.  We hyped that signing of Gio like we just won the fuging lottery, and he is complete ass.  We spent two quarters desperately not trying to throw the football - I don’t know if it’s because he can’t or what?  But there was no excuse for that.  It felt so much like the Rhule years here.  I haven’t seen such a dysfunctional offense since or before.  And then the damn defense…. I asked my friend if they just brought all 70 new guys in from a lab that does arm and leg transplants because did these guys just receive their limbs and are figuring out how to use them???  Because I have never seen a whole team look so inept.  Diving early at feet and missing them entirely, getting trucked, flailing and falling everywhere, peewee league arm tackles, always looking a step slow…  no lie, whatever the worse I could’ve imagined that debut going, take that and make it 10 times worse and I never would’ve even seen THAT happening.  Absolutely no excuse for it.  None.  All the brand power and image brought with the Belichick hire, and that’s the best he could do in his debut.  They brought MJ, LT, and Roy out for THAT???  Man, I spent 7 years of my life living there and i NEVER saw or heard of LT coming out there during that time.  They actually got him coming around to watch THAT. Bill should be fuging embarrassed.  The fuging commentary booth brought a dog in and put a headset on him as Rece Davis said, “the wheels are off, ladies and gentlemen.”  As I said elsewhere - not under Mack 1.0, not under Torbush, not under Butch, not under Fedora,  and not under Mack 2.0, did we EVER look like THAT.  Never.  You bring in a guy that is considered one of the greatest football minds in coaching EVER, and we get shellacked and don’t even look competitive???  Boy I know the boosters are shitting fuging fireballs right now.
