Cam hangs up on Atlanta media... lol

Cam Newton fielded questions from the Atlanta media today via conference call. Apparently, they were not too happy with what they got from Cam. 

The transcript from the conference call reveals the level of questions asked.

My personal favorite....

Q: How did the Vikings take Kelvin Benjamin away from the offense?

A: “Do you really think I’m going to tell you that?”

Q: How do you all plan to get Kelvin Benjamin going against the Falcons?

A: “Throw it to him.”

I'm sure the media wasn't doing anything to deserve attitude.  Of course, we now live in a world where everyone is owed something.  Reporters can say and do whatever and Cam has to politely take it or get blasted. 

Probably a lot of "talk about X Cam". Then we can pull out the one phrase to meet our planned narrative we already have written

In fairness, if hometown guys ask him the same question about dealing with a loss.....he gives them the same treatment.  He has been saying it for a half decade and appears done. He isn't a good loser and he is content with that

Haha. I usually don't bother with player press conferences, but no way in hell does any player answer those questions about strategies. The hat question was the only interesting one.

Soooo... what is your plan in getting Kelvin back in the game this week? 

 

GTFO

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
