Was it such a big deal? I hate reading comments about Cam not diving for the fumble but the game was long over even if he recovered it. Is it really something that can cause you to question his character? Or is it just opposing fans and the media hating?

People at like it was at his feet. It was virtually a few feet away and he was standing tall while ware or miller or whoever recovered it was on the ground already right next to it.

 

People hate Cam and will hate him until he retires whether he goes 0-16 or 16-0

He made a split second decision to see where the ball would bounce instead of awkwardly trying to jump on it. After he chose not to the ball actually did bounce out like he anticipated, but in a different direction which allowed the Broncos to recover. Loose balls are clusterfugs and it was blown completely out of proportion.

I've always thought he was trying to pick it up and still salvage a positive play out of it. Never had any confirmation either way that that's what he was doing but it would make sense given the way he plays. Obviously that was a big mistake and he should have dove on the ball, but at the time his thought process probably put him in hero mode. By the time he realized he needed to dive on the ball he was standing directly over it which made diving on it impossible. I'm not going to be too upset about him trying to do too much.

I've never thought it was a business decision(that's a lie, it was my immediate reaction, but I changed my stance after the replay).

This. It's crazy how ppl can't understand that and call him scared. Has anyone but us watched Cam. He is most definitely not scared.

To be honest when I saw it initially I was thinking "smart play, don't get yourself injured Cam for a game that was decided weeks ago" but then I turn around to see everyone calling him a quitter and sum poo for it. Doesn't really make sense to me since Can has never had questions for his work ethic...

Maybe if he was the type of QB who never runs the ball, but when your QB is the guy who plows into the line, jumps over the defenders, and tries for that extra yard or two on the ground when the team needs it, as if he's the RB, how can you question his character or willingness to get down and dirty?

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
