I'm Actually A Little Scared of This Quote

Cam on losing:

“What I hate is when a person tries to console you or talk to you and they say, “Oh man, you can’t win them all’’. What do you play for? You play so you don’t go into each game saying, “I know we’re not going to be able to win this game’’. I play to win each and every game I play and I try to put my best foot forward on every single down. I don’t go into any game saying I know we’re not going to win, we’re just going to play. I put my heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears into this game and I expect great dividends in return.

I love, love, love the desire, but I have to admit that is a scary quote in some ways as well. Just got to get those wins.

Edit: Good frickin' grief guys, I meant scary as in "Wow, this kid will rip the league a new one!"

that crap should only be scary for other teams in the league.

this dude won't settle for losing.

i kept hearing some people say one of the knocks on newton is that he hasn't experienced a losing season. i don't want a QB that knows how to lose. i don't want an experienced loser. i want this guy who can't handle it and won't accept it.

One thing I keep thinking with all these comment's Cam makes is that people on the team better watch out. I fully expect to see Cam tearing teamates a new one ala Tom Brady/Ray Lewis once some of the rookie status wears off. Yes, he's the QB and a default leader, but as a rookie he still has to earn his stripes a bit before he can really start to say what he wants. And with Smitty having his back, i don't see anyone really in a position to tell him to take is easy.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
