It's funny how these talking heads intentionally make it their agenda to dismiss what Cam did in Blinn as not worthy of counting so they can make their argument of him being a one win, one season QB. But ironically when Aaron Rogers won the SB, they couldn't stop talking about his time in a junior college and how it help to mold the QB he is today.

I have a problem with selective journalism.

you're way overreacting... these guys are heaping praise on him and you get pissed that one guy said "I'm surprised how good he looks given his one year in college!" The analyst may not even know he went to Juco because he may not have done a ton of research on him, just watched him some last year and this preseason, who knows. He certainly wasn't bashing him for it.

It's not selective journalism, it's that you can't compare the two in the same way.

I don't think anyone gave a poo about what Rodgers did in Juco when he was a year or two or even three into the league, and honestly I doubt anyone much cares now. Once you win the Superbowl and become Superbowl MVP, everyone decides that every moment of your life was leading up to that one point, so they have to talk about it. For that matter I don't even remember it being a huge deal in the Superbowl, but I'll take your word for it that the entire media went crazy about it.

Guarantee you if Cam wins it all, people will be all "yeah that incident at Florida allowed him to redeem himself at Blinn and it really got his head on straight so he could become the great player he is!"

I'm surprised at how much praise they are giving him given that many of the analysts are still slamming him on most things. I have to agree with most of what was said.

Seems clear that Newton is a leader and the guys respond to him in a way no quartback has since Jake on this team, and thats a good sign

I mean it's nice to see the good side of it from the national media too - but neither really means a damn until he has some regular season action under his belt. To me (and off of the cameras probably for everyone in the media too) this weeks game means more than all of his preseason work combined.

Everything I read / see until then I think of as just filler.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
