They were pretty supportive of Cam, but Skip Bayless was a little negative. I don't agree with his interpretation or opinion but I can't fault him for it. It's not an invalid point or unreasonable opinion.

Lost respect for Bayless when he wholeheartedly defended Ben Rothlesburgger rape allegations but then turn around and viciously attack Cam's character on a story that is still nothing but a heresay.

I think Skip Bayless has a man crush on Cam and is in denial of it.

I don't like the guy even when I agree with him. And on this he's just hearing what he wants to hear.

"I can interpret what he's saying" to make Cam look bad and that's my priority. :rolleyes:

After game one, on 'blip or trend', Skippy called Cam a blip, even while he was gushing about his performance. After game two Cam proved to be 'trend' and Skippy ain't happy.

Give Skip Bayless a quote, and he will find the context within that he wants to find which stirs the pot. That's his game.

Exactly. He's just playing devil's advocate. He wants to be controversial, that is what got him his popularity. Cam clearly, from what I gathered from that interview, was saying that this the NFL and all QBs have the same job. It doesn't change no matter how good you are. Tom Brady is in the NFL just as Cam is the NFL. That is the point he was trying to make. People like Skip allow the haters to feel like their position is defensible when in reality, it isn't.

Skips opinions on issues are calculated opinions. He forms his opinions often b/c he wants to go against the norm when he can.

all comments on target.

it was a douchey spin, but it isn't much different than what has been heard from his critics all along. you start from a premise that you don't like the guy or think he's inadequate in some regard and you take every comment and action and see which ones can be spun to support your opinion.

i don't know if bayless really believes what he said or not (though i'm inclined to believe he is that pinheaded), but he did say what others are saying. the cam-critic bandwagon is getting smaller, but it's still there and you better believe that there are some who are grudgingly on his bandwagon now or who are giving him his props who are just waiting for the guy to fall so they can say "i hate to say it, but i told you so".

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
