Has anyone else noticed the shift in positive and negative media reception regarding Cam? Is the big market bias proven to be real?

It 100% is. He’s playing for ‘their team’ now so he’ll get better coverage.

Yeah, I’ve seen all of a sudden media personalities have sources that vouch that he is “healthy”. Everybody has stats on the playmaker he was and how He can change an offense.. things we already knew but had he been resigned here then it would have been more about our decision/risk in resigning as if us taking a chance isn’t a better indication of another team taking that chance on him. 
 

Times are different though and his contract amount even for a year is enough to just talk about the highs of the Patriots getting him for that price and the level of return that’s possible.  
 

Phony poo but none of it matters.

My premise has long been that sports media coverage is biased in favor of large media market teams in that sports media spends more time covering them than smaller market teams, unless said smaller market team has a transcendent star player like Newton. I don't know if the media is covering Cam more favorably now, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts now that he's gone we'll get less national media coverage. With Kuechly retired, if it weren't for CMC, they would probably barely notice us this coming season. Scratch that, Kuechly was great, but largely modest, quiet, unflashy and soft spoken off the field. CMC is at least dating a model, so that gives them something.

Ever notice that even when the Cowboys suck, the media talks about them CONSTANTLY?

Same for the Giants.

Bears.

When Green Bay stops having a top flight qb under center, you'll never hear about them again.

i don't think it's just the media, i've seen a remarkable shift in public perception of him in general. SO many people wishing him well and hoping he thrives in NE, i haven't seen very many 'bad signing he sucks' out in the wild

public perception has shifted on several non-sports things recently. hmm wonder if it’s related.

Green Bay has an unusually large fan base and an impressively rich history.

I agree with your post, I just find Green Bay to be the main exemption to it...

 

...Now the Saints, Falcons and Bucs... THOSE are your teams that you will never hear about when they don't have solid quarterbacks.

Christian's fantasy football's MVP and the consensus top runningback at the moment so I don't think we'll be any less relevant nationally, but he doesn't rile people up like Cam does. It'll be more like the constant praise Luke got.

Absolutely. Based on what the talking head's are saying, I feel like he's no longer (S)Cam Newton and is a superstar QB who sold out his body to carry the team (truth), who was just hurt the past few seasons. Now that he's "healthy", he will return back to MVP Cam. That's what I'm getting. Same thing happened to SSR89 after he left Carolina.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
