Sal Paolantonio on Mike & Mike this morning brought up an interesting point, he knows Ron Rivera well and says Cam couldn't get away being a phony with him, Rivera would sniff that out from 5 miles away. Also said you couldn't get away being a phony with JR and JR was very impressed with him.

Rivera I believe... Not buying it for JR based in his track record in past drafts... He drafted Rae Carruth! Also drafted Jimmy Clausen... And for those of u who are thinking of bashing this post because "he doesn't draft players"... He owns the team. Anything that happens in his organization is a direct reflection upon himself.

With that said, he has a huge opportunity to draft Cam... I believe that you can't fool Rivera, it's hard to trick a Hispanic male, let alone we already know ge has a no BS policy..

This just makes us warmer and fuzzier on Cam. I like it!

I am the firm believer you can't change the true character of a person, go read the story of the Scorpion and the Turtle. Cam was a thief and a cheat and even Mayock has issues believing this kid will try to be elite.

I don't like him, I don't like his lack of football intellegence, I don't like the system he was in, I don't like he couldn't beat out The Golden Calf of Bristol (and no he couldn't because he wasn't good enough. Myer would have put the best QB on the field). I don't like the fact he ran from Florida before getting booted etc.

He could be black, white, orange or purple with pink polkadots so that is a non issue. I don't want the kid as the face of this franchise and I feel a few years from now we will be right back where we are now with no Franchise QB.

Ridiculous statement. So JR was suppose to somehow know Carruth

was going to be murderer. Really? Also Jimmy Clausen isn't a good player, no one has ever accused him of being a con artist. Don't see what he has to do with the topic

People can change, I did stuff when I was 20 that I wouldn't dream of doing now. Have you ever stole something or cheating on something? I know I have, and overall I consider myself a pretty good person with flaws just like any human being (who is willing to admit it).

We'll never know if Cam would have beaten out The Golden Calf of Bristol given enough time, but I think it's unreasonable to condemn a freshman QB for not beating out the incumbent starter. Heck, Tom Brady couldn't beat out Brian Griese for the starting job at Michigan and that worked out pretty okay for the Pats, right?

Scorpions and turtles can't change their character because they are much less sophisticated than humans, people can change and 20 year olds do stupid stuff.

I think Cam is a genuine person he is just being interviewed and filmed SO much that occasionally he has to go into autopilot and just give generic "phoney" answers. Imagine getting the attention he gets. It has to be pretty grueling.

This is the typical argument with people that blindly hate Cam, you answer all the questions they have and then just manufacture new ones... LOL

Given enough time, I feel certain Cam would have beaten out The Golden Calf of Bristol for the starting job at Florida, but we'll never know. I think it's unreasonable to expect a freshman to walk in and immediately beat out the incumbent starter. Renner didn't beat out TJ Yates at UNC, does that mean Renner is a crappy QB?

I just don't see this kid doing what it will take to be Elite. I mean when you pick a guy #1 overall that is the goal right? Not average, not good, not very good...Elite.

So winning two national championships and the Heisman doesn't demonstrate that Cam is willing to do what it takes to be great???

I haven't seen that much of Newton but when I do see him, I can't help but be reminded of the character played by The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) in the movie "The Game Plan". If you haven't seen the movie, it's about a partying, self-centered QB who plays selfishly thinking the game is all about him. Of course it being a Disney movie, everything works itself out but this isn't a Disney movie and I can't help but think Cam will always be about Cam.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
