Cam's Presser

[LUUUUUKE]

I just had some time, so I listened to all 20 min of it. Nothing I say here will be ground breaking, but still, I feel like it isn't said enough.

We are so blessed as a franchise to have this young man as the face of the franchise, our franchise QB.

If u have the time, this one has it all, he's funny, humble, serious, genuine, emotional, and down to Earth. He's saying and doing all the right things. What's more? It's all genuinely who he is as a person.

He gives a shoutout to the @RoaringRiot during the presser and goes on to advocate that anyone living in the Carolina's should be Panthers fans. Also states that if you're not already, the time to hop on is now.

i just don't think that it can be stated enough, that he's continuing to grow as both a player and a man. I'm just thankful that we can call him ours, and as we know, the best is still yet to come!

Was one of the best PCs I've ever seen from Cam, emotional, relaxed, fiery and motivational. A real insight into who he's become: supremely confident for all the right reasons but still humble.

I really liked that he acknowledged the laptop incident from Florida.  I can't stand when people bring that up, and wish those people would hear this press conference.

Yes, that surprised and impressed me how he talked about the laptop.  No doubt with the banner incident (and comments like "he stole the banner just like he stole the laptop" all over Twitter, etc.) it's been forced back to his mind and others' minds.  Good for him to acknowledge his past and yet show how he's grown from it, and how it can be turned to a positive to give others who are struggling with bad mistakes in their past hope that change & growth is possible.

Great to see.  Good for him to not hide from that past but be able to put it in perspective.

Smart man... must be dat fish diet.

So much was made about Cam not wearing a wristband as a rookie and 2nd year player. But I think it's cool that he wears one now. It helps to remind him of what's truly important.

i liked the whole pencil and pencil sharpener analogy tying that to the struggles of everyday life and how the grind, the sacrifice, and overall determination will eventually lead to success. 

He's such an intelligent individual, and even some of the vocabulary he uses is something you don't see from everyday players in this league. 

In fairness, the pencil analogy came from the vet that had both legs amputated.

As far as his vocabulary goes, it's definitely not one of his strengths. He often uses words incorrectly. He stumbles sometimes trying to sound smart. It's obvious that he's trying to improve that aspect as well. Let's not forget the stigma that he came I to theLeague with as far as or being very intelligent.

Still proud of him though, I just had to address the whole vocabulary post

Cam doesn't need to sound mystical when he speaks but just speak coherently and not sound "ignant", the extranalities like vocab can be left up to Rivera and the rest of the staff

It's painfully obvious Cam hates having to do these pressers. If he could pull a Marshawn and just not do them he would. You can tell his dissatisfaction with the whole process when he gets the same bullshit questions about what he is doing different this year compared to last year because no one in the media can fathom the panthers doing this well so SOMETHING must be different with cam. I wish atleast in the Carolinas we had the media actually like Cam but you can tell the Joe Persons and the David Newtons are just here to push agendas and it's sad.

I would too if the media super trashed me like they did him coming into the NFL. They trashed him for 3 years straight too

That's true it's pretty obvious to anyone that Cam sees the pressers as a chore but he usually gives good answers regardless.

I've noticed in a few pressers that when David Newton asks his leading questions Cam has that look of having to restrain himself.  I don't blame him.  I have to restrain myself from yelling at the tv.

Couple of things

1. Was that Joe Person who asked about the GB banner incident? Sounded kinda like him, and Cam's face just screamed "this guy...".

2. After the shoutout to Roaring Riot, I believe Cam said the following: "I have a little assistance from the little board that I write on".....DID CAM JUST CONFIRM HE'S A HUDDLER!?!?!?!?!














































Now I watch everybody freak out.
