I was listening to Denver sports radio this week trying to get their outlook on the game and the announcers were great in providing multiple laff tracks about the Denver Defense, while completely ignoring Denver's offense.

But in a change of pace he brought up Cam's demeanor during the myriad media sessions and said that Cam looked uncomfortable and bored. To which I kinda agreed, except for Snoop; he kinda seemed disengaged. He said that for what Cam gets paid in salary and endorsements, he should feel grateful to answer these repetitive questions. Any of us regular people would be glad to for that kind of money ($20M)

I am not here to bash Cam, I am here to bash the Media guy who stood just off camera who I saw after/during every Cam interview. WTF are you doing! Was your media strategy, just answer all questions.

Bump that, Cam is about to become the face of the NFL, and possibly sports worldwide. people are dabbing in soccer games, while we speak, Just like a Super Bowl half-time performer, Cam's brand could be exposed to millions, perhaps billions of people around the world. Tell Cam to own these interviews. Talk about his relationship with Braylon, with his coaches and teammates, his family, his God, his clothing line with Belk, his first UA commercial with Tom Brady. I wanna see more product placements than in a Jackie Chan starring Peyton Manning movie.

He doesn't have to answer the questions. Bellichek never answers questions, he has his own agenda.

So do your job, give him some good advice, because win or lose, he is going to be asked even more questions. If you do your job right the next time Cam goes to the Superbowl, he might be bringing in ($40M)!

Reporters have all week to prepare questions and ask the same boring poo. Not only that, but they repeat questions that Cam has answered all season long from the Charlotte media. Do your damn job and a player won't be bored. He was happy to see snoop because he knew something new was coming. You ask Cam the right questions and his personality comes out. O so now you want to see the fake smile? It's not his job to be fake, know who you're interviewing and ask better questions.

In fairness to Cam: No one cares (target audience for advertisers) what Cam said or didn't say during his Superbowl Pressers. No one knows or remembers. So that's not a problem.

However, Cam could have been more visibly positive and upbeat.

I don't think Cam was being disrespectful or rude. He was kinda just putting on an act with the slumped shoulders, trying to tell them what/how to ask with his disposition.

Nonetheless, you're in the Superbowl Cam. Handling media responsibilities is part of it.

So just suck it up and pretend, even if it's3- 4 days in a row, several times a day.

Funny, if they took the time to read articles or look at games, they could ask real questions that he would want to answer. Such as:

Quote

"Cam when you first cam into the league, you threw a lot under center, and in the shot gun with some read option sprinkled in. What effect do you think the read option will have on the Denver defense/pass rush, along with your drop back throwing to  your speedy receivers"?

May not be the best question. But at least if you ask something like that, Cam knows you at least know, followed or researched the team, and made him think.

But no. Many ask dumb questions, cause they want a particular reaction. But they're no smart enough to figure out his disposition and alter their questions (though he made it very clear how he felt). SMH

I'm not sure how Cam is supposed to bring up stuff about Braylon, his family, etc, when reporters are asking crap like "Why are you wearing socks and sandals?"

I mean, what is he supposed to say, "You know who doesn't wear socks and sandals? My friend, Braylon Beam!"?

Additionally, it really doesn't matter if Cam aces the media portion. Whether or not he is good with the media has nothing to do with the score tonight.

How many ways can he answer the same old tired questions?  That's on the media.  Hell, look out there, they're writing the same ole $hit.  When they come to terms, and stop trying to dog him, they'll ask better and different questions and he'll delight them.  Until then, pi$$ on em.

Actually that is exactly how I would tell him to answer the question!

It's the questioning. He heard it Monday night, got asked he same questions Tuesday and by Wednesday, he was tired of it. You can only answer the same questions so many ways. I think had these journalist came up with better questions, he wouldn't have been as bored with it. However, players are actually over the media after a few days because think about it---they have a huge game to prepare for and focus on

Sounds like how politicians debate.

I thought his energy with the media was great in Charlotte the week after the NFCCG.  And even Monday & Tuesday it was ok.  But by Wed & Thurs, you could tell he was tiring of it.  Don't blame him.  He usually only has to do two media sessions a week:  Sunday post-game and Wed.  To all of a sudden be doing 4 days a week.  Yikes.  That's got to be really draining, especially when, as Cam noted, there's nothing new to talk about from day to day.... no "news" to react to, just same old same old.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
