This is sorta dumb honestly. Cam was a great player when he played before the injuries and put on a good show. Once they retire and go all over social media with hot takes it’s usually annoying at best. You will never recapture the relevance of your playing days where you had a captive audience of millions every week.

I don't think it's about relevancy as much as it's about he's doing things no different than anyone else in the sports industry through social media. He had an opinion that has since been proven right after folks within the same media sphere went after him. From a Panthers fan I think it's good to see him living his best life. It's just YouTube. Do your thing Cam. Subscribed.

Why does everything have to be interpreted as someone looking for attention? He played the game his whole life now he is not allowed to talk about it after he is done? I will never understand this concept.

Cam largely has always made a lot of good points.  They aren't always well received because of the delivery and style he gives them. 

1.  Cam was right to speak out against media trying to treat him like some kid in his mom's basement.   I mean, the absurdity of that should of been called out.  Cam actually knows football and has done it at a higher level than most that have ever suited up.  The media is worried about athletes that can do what they do, better than they do it, and on their own.  At the current rate, all the talking heads audience is going to old folks.  And then they lose their jobs. 

2.  Most of the football world media aren't journalist.   Those are rare.  I mean, reporting on the facts of the game and what is going on? I'll take that all day.  Which is what they SHOULD be.  Last thing I need to see is another TV show with a variation of everyone doing their own version of Stephen A or Skip.   They are clickbait talking heads.  And Cam is right, he could play football and do what they do.  They can't say the same.

Get over it. He has a million followers it's not like people aren't paying attention to him still.

This is really all he is doing. If you can make a good living off of it why not do it. Life goes on after football.

An opinion piece carries far more weight when it comes from someone whom has lived it. Cam has lived it. Olsen has lived it. SS89 has lived it. They have knowledge and experience that people respect. I think a lot of ‘journalists’ are jealous because a player’s take will always carry far more clout than theirs. 

The Cam ‘routes?’ Controversy exemplifies this. His incredulity was justifiable, but… insensitive… boo hoo. The outrage created by the media was because he took a shot at one of their own. Not bc she was a woman.

      Clowney on Bryce Young

      By CarolinaRideorDie · Posted

      I think you've taken my comment out of context as well. I never implied that his father being a psychologist would make him a better leader or make him a psychologist. If your dad is a lawyer, you're more likely to be exposed to law. If your dad is a doctor you're more likely to be exposed to medicine that's all.  My question is, why did you take my comment that way?

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      By strato · Posted

      Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
