The article covers all the drama, criticism and highlights of Cam's rise. It's kind of amazing to reflect on the extremes surrounding him, but I think we can never wonder if the kid has mental toughness. How the hell does a normal person survive all that insanity?

that really was a great article.

and it really puts all the negative hype against cam into perspective from the media. It seems like they really didn't want him to succeed, and it helps to explain a lot of the hate he received. I'll admit to being guilty of that as well. It's hard not to be manipulated by that many people saying the same stuff. Props to those who believed in cam from the beginning, and of course, props to our awesome QB for coming out unscathed.

In regards to Cam's early success being only because of defenses getting behind during the lockout..

For those keeping track at home, yes, September 20th is the day the rookie who would surely struggle after the NFL lockout became the rookie who's only succeeding because of the NFL lockout.

Bingo.

      The escapism is really what's missing. I actually do think Bryce's awareness and ability to improvise on broken plays is above average--better than when he's throwing in the pocket because it forces the recievers to get seperation and within his line of sight. If he could scramble in the backfield like Seattle Russ until someone get open I believe he'd have the tools to be a franchise QB even with his noodle arm. He did that in college but it hasn't translated to the pro level.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      You’re right, again on X, that’s what’s being said. Anyone who actually watched could tell that the Cards defense was different in the second half…until the game was on the line the last drive, then they went into first half mode.

      The version of Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay now was never going to be that here. He got a very heavy portion of humble pie both with the Browns and us. That was a driving force in changing his career. And at the end of the day the Bucs are unfortunately a well ran organization. But Baker had already flashed his physical gifts and potential even with the lowly Browns. He just had to get out of his own way and drop the immature meathead crap. Too bad for Geno Smith and Pete Carroll. That wall comes fast. They are both past their expiration date. And as of recently some of Geno's comments sound like a guy rather full of himself. The league will be glad to humble you.
