What do you make out of Cams press conference?

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.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
