TBH I think it had to do more with his Wife and Family. Smith is def a Devoted Husband and Father and if they wanted to split he would have been gone. If his wife's health would have been worse he would have retired, simple as that. Cam may have given Smith more of a reason but I doubt it was the deciding one.

This. I think it came down to a family decision.

Like I said.. all the clues are there.

You know, in retrospect, you're right.

The last thing I want to see is a confident, happy, smiling QB having fun with his teammates and the fans.

Let's cut his butt now before he embarrasses the whole team.

The point of the post was that Cam is acting right now, and every once in a while he slips into the person that he has always been. But listen, I'm not complaining. If the guy comes in and wins games like he did at Auburn he can be as self-centered (edit: "sarcastic") as he wants. All I'm saying.. is if he goes out and doesn't win games... you will look back and see that the clues were all there.

Cam knows what he needs to do to win over other players. He often shows that he is extremely confident, perhaps bordering on arrogant, at least by appearance.

People beat me up in the offseason for saying Cam did not seem genuinely humble, but I really don't give a poo if he is or not. If he can back his attitude up with his play, if he can learn from his mistakes and accept them as his own (which I think he can) then I don't care if the guy is arrogant or thinks he "owns the place." It may cause complications down the line but frankly I'm not going to fret over it right now.

Cam isn't perfect, big deal. He looks like he's having fun and enjoying himself, like he's fitting in. We already know many of the older veterans enjoy having him around, and unlike last year with Clausen, our players aren't needing to vehemently deny rumors they aren't getting along because videos are showing that they appear to in fact be getting along very well.

I really didn't like the quote. I understand Cam was reaching out to Smith to stay, but it's very far-fetched to say he was the sole reason Smith changed his mind. Richardson and Hurney, along with the new coaches, deserve most the credit for Smith staying, but that's just from my point of view.

I think a lot of you guys way over-analyze this stuff...
