On one hand, I do understand why certain traditions may need to change in order to truly change the culture of a team.  It makes sense.  And there were some things in our culture that needed changing.

However, certain traditions SHOULD NOT.  EVER.  CHANGE.

Keep Pounding is one of those traditions that should be part of who we are forever.  There is no negativity associated with it whatsoever.  It was brought to us by a team legend.  The only player with a statue in fact.  It's one of our best, most meaningful and truly positive traditions.

Cam gets it.  If his return is what it takes to remind the entire organization about it he'll have done great things before he even steps on the field for us.

Did "Keep Pounding" go away? Am I missing something?

One thing people shouldn't need to be reminded of is where Cam was in 2018 before he was injured and Rivera didn't rest him as he should have.

That presser was awesome. I was glad to hear him mention God. He has grown and it shows. Looking at him looks like he has found his true self. Always positive, but now seems wise. I get what he means about exodus. I had stop watching football altogether when Cam was cut by the patriots. Like some said he is my MJ in football. Just so great to watch. Keep pounding!

Yup. He didn't have that here. I always felt he was searching. He said every minute of his day was planned to the t until it wasn't, he was just a dad.

That man has grown… his demeanor, mannerisms, the way he speaks is almost completely different, he seems humbled & wiser.  Looking forward to seeing QB1 in our jersey again….

 

Loved the last remark, “..been waiting to say this…” hopefully Tepper takes notice & realizes what it means to us….

His confidence and demeanor must be driving Rhule crazy. I think Cam knows it's bigger than this coaching staff who will be gone and old news eventually, small hiccup in his legacy.  He'll have his Jersey retired and continue his foundations etc..

Certainly is. I believe now that Rhule wanted Cam gone so he wouldn't have to compete with him to be "The Man" in the building because he's used to being the alpha dog of the program in college. But there isn't really any NFL coach that is the top dog of his franchise other than maybe Belichick. The best players on the team are the top dogs.

When he comes out of that tunnel at BOA Panthers fans wall to wall going ape poo, then maybe then Tepper will realize what Cam meant to this franchise. Maybe Cam will be able to share with him what Keep Pounding has meant to this franchise. Maybe he'll realize that trying to scrap all the traditions played a big role in why we just played an away game vs. the Pats at BOA.

When he come thru that smoke and they scream that 1 .. I might punch a rival fan while screaming...

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
