Cam Gains Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews' Respect

actually, now I wonder how Auburn didn't win by 3TD's every game last yr

That would be due to our (AU's) defense last year giving up a lot of points until the final 2-3 games. Hell, in the Arkansas game our D gave up 43 points and we STILL won by more than 3 TDs thanks to Cam going absolutely beserk and scoring almost every single drive.

One thing that did happen is the team improved, especially the defense and raised their level of play as the season progressed. I think Cam had a big impact there too. He is a very competitive leader that leads by example. I see the same thing happening with Carolina this year. The team knows Cam will give them a chance to win every single week and will raise their level of play around him and the wins will come. I saw it last year w/ AU and I am certain the Panthers are on the exact same track.

And this is from his peers... Both possibly the best at their position. Everyone digging for negativity, keep stammering over your words - this is the truth.

Loving it.

But...But...Cam made mistakes that cost the game...Even thou that really isn't what cost the game...

I really wonder what those who are searching every week to find something to criticize Cam over because he wasn't they choosen QB would be saying if he was???

BTW, how does Cam rack up against other first draft QB in their second week of real NFL work?

I'm glad you were there for the first hand accounts between Cam and Clay. TBH, I was hoping someone would cut block the sh*t out of Clay during the game b/c I could tell he was talking non-stop sh*t to Cam.

I'm sure you picked up the exchange when Clay chased him out of bounds in the 4th for no gain... You could see Cam was smiling and thought it was gonna be a friendly exchange after the play and then Clay looked back at him, said something, and then Cam stopped smiling, turned away from him and went back to the huddle... Meanwhile, Clay kept talking.

I also didn't appreciate the celebration after Clay wrapped him up from behind on the scramble on 4th down where he pointed at him on the ground.

I was really hoping someone would f*ck Clay up, and I've actually liked him from afar until today.

Regardless, I expect guys to be competitive and talk smack, but he seemed like it was personal during the game... So, I was surprised to see him say anything good about him.

Clay is a talker...Even Aaron Rodgers get on his case about that...

It's quite surprising to see him so talkative because he really doesn't come across that way. But I caught a GBP game last season on NFLN where they mike some of the players and Clay was one of them...Let me say, he simply wouldn't shut up...Even while he was on the sidelines...Too funny.

Yeah, I think he's a lot like Smitty is for us...

I still love his game, I just didn't think he had to do that the whole game, but Smitty does it too so...

We're 0-2. I realize that. But seriously, the talent on this team through the roof.

Cam threw 3 really bad passes today, but that's what a rookie does, right?

That said, Cam is everything people hoped Mike Vick would be. We have the QB to take us to the next level. Remember 2003? It's gonna get a lot better than that.

High five, bitches.

What I am looking forward to is when we actually get the run game working? Cam clearly has shown that he can get it done when the other team expects him to pass. What happens when they have to worry about our backs gouging them for 5-6 per run. Stack 8 in the box and hope cam doesnt pick you apart? Or let the run game move the chains?

Also makes playaction much more viable playcall if the LB's have to worry bout the run, even easier ways to find TE's in that situation.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
