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

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
