Cam on Frank and Moose

[The Total Package]

i have to say that there were really no awkward moments or wordings like there have been on tv. did a lot better on the phone.

great interview.

I think he is much more comfortable talking to former players than stuffy media with mics shoved in his face.

agreed. probably just more comfortable not having a camera in his face.

i bet he's had to do a couple hundred interviews in a short amount of time and the dude is probably pretty tired of it. seems like he's away from it for a little while which will give him time to study the playbook.

[MadHatter]

He is talking to them from his vacation in Mexico, while all the other teams are having their team workouts. I am a big Cam fan, but I have to say I am worried!

Definitely something to think about.

Look at all the teams and leaders that are out leading player workouts. But, Cam is off vacationing.

But, I am sure that his mega supporters on here will say that he has "earned it". If he needs a vacation from preparing for the draft, he does NOT understand the work required to to succeed in the NFL.

I would rather see him saying that he is deep in the playbook.....not say that he needs to get in the right mental place to start learning the playbook. He needs all of the work and time that he can put into this.

The work starts NOW.

I thought the Mexico thing was him and Kalil joking.

[SirPanther]

I thought the Mexico thing was him and Kalil joking.

It was. Some people don't know how to detect sarcasm.

[PantherBrew]

Okay time to set this record straight.

Just listened to it again. And Cam said that Kalil was "teasing" and "suggested Cam send all of the offensive lineman to Mexico to learn and install the playbook.

So no one is vacationing to Mexico.

Meh. Even if it wasn't a joke I don't see it as a big deal.

He's not a signed player. He has no contract. Give this young man a break ok. For the love of God, this young man is under more scrunity than Delhomme ever was, and he was a veteran.

Yeah and he just got back from pakistan ending a 10 year hunt for Osama.

The man deserves a freaking vacation.

Mad Hatter is the last hater left reaching

[Marguide]

A lot of us here have been saying for months that Cam was being judged unfairly, or at least prematurely. The way he has presented himself since being drafted has exceeded expectations.

People like to talk about Hurney's big gamble. This was not a gamble. Given Cam's physical skills and his winning personality, the decision was a no-brainer. Hurney just happened to know it before the rest of us.
