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".

      It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
