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.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
