Not since Broadway Joe....

It was 1968 and the Jets where on the way to the Superbowl led by a very polarizing QB named Joe Namath. He wore outrageous outfits, had beautiful woman draped all over him and was very outspoken. He was all over tv and on every magazine cover, of course there was no internet. The few that are my age will remember well.

Many people hated him, some saw him as a terrible role model while others loved him for it. I can only imagine what it would have been like if social media or cell phones where around.

The point I am making is that all this fuss about Cam is nothing new. I am happy that Cam insists on being who he is and not let the outside noise change him. Joe Willie followed his own path and they won the Superbowl. Cam may very well do the same forty eight years later.

Let's hope it's not just 1 SB win and panty hose and kissing sideline reporters. 

Cam is a much better QB then Namath. If all goes well, this may be the first of many SB appearances for him. The hoopla around his personality and persona reminds me of the same circus around Namath back in the day.

qualify this plz

As in people always talking about how Cam should follow the examples of quarterbacks in the past.  Point being McMahon was a terrible role model and if Cam acted like McMahon people would be calling for Cams head.

    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
    • Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
