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.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By frankw · Posted

      I think the Bevell hire has more to do with adding actual veteran head coaching experience to the staff than anything else. But I do wholeheartedly agree that the obsession in general with Seattle needs to come to an end. I mean we plucked the one guy there to be our GM who turned out to be our worst GM in franchise history in just a few short years and that's really saying something given our history there. Clearly trying to mimick Seattle in any way has not been productive. As far as Idzik many of us have asked the same question but at this point in time it doesn't really matter anymore because Canales is either going to lead this franchise to a winning record or he will be shown the door.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By strato · Posted

      That’s why Bevell is a good move. Idzik might not be chopped liver, he is just inexperienced and even less ready to be the play caller than Canales. I still say the playbook is limited which is a hinderance to calling plays, I would imagine.    Anyway Beavis lol… no Bevell, got to consecutive SBs as an OC and won one with 48 points or something. Should have won the second one. And had several more good years there.    They were the team we had to learn how to beat it took us til the third year I think before we could go into Seattle and successfully compete.   That is glass half full thinking, yep, but that is head and shoulders over what we have had here for a while. Certainly now.     In addition.. It was Canales’ boss. He knew more then , I would bet he knows more now. I can’t look at this as anything but a potential positive thing.  Hell he might be the guy that can look at Dave and say what the fug are you doing? And Dave will listen. I think I can hope for that.  Maybe not.
