Are you talking about his press conference? He said all the right things so at least the media can’t rip him. I’m sure he wanted to go off though. Truth is we don’t know how this trade will work out, that said, I’ve never heard of a team taking talent away from their Star qb.

OK, so I will get flamed for this.  But all football players should understand that football is a business, and they are being paid to do a job.  Players get traded, cut, etc.  It is time to stop sulking and get ready for Atlanta.  

You shouldn't be flamed for that. I completely agree with that and Cam said that himself. The difference is, this franchise hasn't done well to give him weapons. Now, in a struggling offense that literally can't run the ball and depends on the passing game, we take Cams #1 WR and on top of that, his best friend on the team.

I can see where he would feel deflated. I can also see where this hurts on both a personal and a business level.

"We can't run the ball. Let's trade Cams #1 WR and see if that helps the offense"

... what?

This we know..Wr is bare as is who do get  the same type of player that we just traded. Thats what im upset about. Cam knows that players come and go but benji was a shock.. and who could we get to replace him ?Bersin replaces fun. Lol a joke within a joke.

They do. It's the fans and media making these wild claims up. It's them saying emotion of losing benji will hurt play. The players know it. Its part of the job. doesnt mean they gotta like it.

And they have to understand that sometimes that business is run by a power hungry, senile old man trying to build a cult of personality around himself as he can't come to grips with his own mortality.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
