His words are reflective of his attitude this entire season since getting his head beat in against Denver and nearly getting his knee blown out against Arizona. He mentally checked out a long time ago and his play on the field showed it. 

It's kinda hard to care anyway when you know the league is after you and won't protect you.

Guy is mentally and physically beat up ..realizing how much he is disliked in the league..he loves football but the kind he experience this yr...needs a break to mentally and physically be restored. He is got to adjust what he thought was fun is not it is seriously becoming a dangerous sport in his mind without any protections. At least for him.

Cam seems like the type of player that would retire when the game no longer becomes fun. He thrives off of energy. When the league is against you and your protection isn't up to par and you don't have enough weapons, that would suck the fun out of any QB. We need to give this guy protection and weapons soon or else I can see him leaving the game real early.

Not gonna argue that at all. He's not protected by the league the same way others are. With that said, hes got more growing to do as a pro. He really needs to figure out a way to combat adversity. I'm a huge believer that the team takes the identity of its qb. This year that identity was one of a concussed, lethargic and largely apathetic player. 

I think this year may ultimately be better for him than we think. He's such a competitor that he is not going to want this season to be a defining moment of his legacy.  My bet is he busts his tail and comes back with a vengeance next year.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
