Coming on just to say this---8 pages so far?  Cam is 34.  Good luck to him, but Cam is not a backup in this league because he lacks the ability to be a backup---his personality is so strong, he would be a distraction even if that is not his intent.  If people who need a QB are not bidding on Lamar Jackson, I doubt Cam gets any attention. Maybe he is doing this for a midseason injury.

I will admit, I love the diehard fandom homers give toward Cam. Respect. You will die on your rock.

Meanwhile, like any diva WR in recent history who makes a scene on social media or in public, other NFL fans want to steer clear. Teams too. Cam is no different IMHO.

But yeah, you guys keep backing your boy no matter what. Props.

not a real fan if cam isn't your boy, imo.

Clearly not willing to take a back up roll and accept reality at this point in his career.  Love the good years he gave us, but he never was able to transition to being a pocket passer due to injury and accuracy issues.  The history of the league is littered with guys who were great in college and their early years, but never made the next step when their feet slowed down with age.  I don't know even if not injuring his shoulder if Cam would have ever been able to stand back and sling it with consistent accuracy.  He would abandon his footwork far too often.  Hard to coach those instincts out when they have been part of a players make up and gave them success based off of elite athleticism for all of their early playing days and careers.  He was the best athlete on the field most of his life.

It's not baffling if you know why they hate Cam.

Amazing to me that the people who don't laud compliments on Cam and totally agree with the the folks that believe he was the greatest are called haters and implications immediately made of why they don't feel that way.  If you think he was the greatest more power to you.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion without it being something else.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
