Cam's Response to Olsen

I can't hate on the media for reporting it. I'd probably be the same way if I were a reporter in Chicago and had no talent or writing ability whatsoever. That's why I said I wish Cam handled it better. I don't have a problem with that response IN GENERAL, but with Cam, he's held to a higher standard. Non-stories for other players are huge stories when you're talking about Cam, and I'm afraid this will be one of them.

It's part of the learning process. Cam will learn how to manage his own emotions and being a leader for his teammates. But they will also learn that he is quite simply not content with "moral" victories, or being happy that he's playing well enough to win. He wants to win every game, every single time, and frankly, that is the tinge of crazy that every great player needs.

I'm not gonna lie... While twitter feeds/news can be interesting, it's like the TMZ of sports.

Back in the day, what options did sports reporters have to report something like this? they didn't, other than word of mouth, because they sure as hell weren't going to report it in the paper.

But with twitter, it's like an underground source... Their papers don't regulate what they tweet. So, they can report in their official capacity through the paper, and then tweet juicy-gossip-type stuff on twitter with no repercussions...

Many of the reporters do this with all intentions being "look at me! I'm the first to report this!!!"

I grew up watching football when it was a real sport for men. Now it's just a sport to make money where grown men a watched by those who use to play the sport and told how to act...

Anyway, I'm sure if those reporters had twitter back then...I can't even imagine. I'm sure they said worst.

Cam was the #1 draft pick, and the face of this franchise, so he's gonna get a lot of scrutiny. that being said, other players get a ton, too (Romo? lol), and even comments like this from other players have made it on to ESPN (Manning had one at one point, and I think there have been others as well).

Romo gets it because it's the Cowboys. Manning and the like occasionally get on ESPN for freaking out, but it's usually dismissed as "Well he's just being a leader hurpa derpa." It's happened far more often than what you see on ESPN, but I really believe each and every incident like this with Cam will be reported by ESPN, at least this year anyway.

He said FU to his team-mate right after a game...Like really...The coaches curse at these players while on the field....

It's seems that Cam is held to an unrealistic standard...No human being should be treated the way he is. This kid every move is srutinize only to have folks act like they wouldn't have done the same.

Have u been to this site during a game? I'm sure some of these folks would knock someone out after a game as fired up as some of them are...

Seriously, I've heard worst on the playing field while watching "Miked-up" on NFLN.

But it's Cam...

And people can flame if they want, but I'm telling you, when big money is involved, refs influence the outcome.

All of our games against Dallas (except for the playoff wins) have shown it to a disgusting degree.

Then today, especially when you take into consideration what Shockey said about the refs response after the play... And they didn't throw the flag until seconds after the ball was complete and a clear TD...

Shady stuff...

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      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.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      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
