Funny Apology to Cam

Recommended Posts

To be entirely honest, this is what infuriated a lot of posters (myself included). If somebody liked Dareus or Green, somehow it was because of a racial bias.

It's a shame too that most of the trolls that labeled anything without their opinion to be a racist are still allowed to post while those that got tired of the act and bit back were banned instead :(

Then again this is the same board that would've traded Smith for a 7th rounder at the start of the season and been grateful to get just that sooo I guess I shouldn't be too surprised/disappointed XD

As a side note, can we stop with the implied racial bias of doubters when it came to Cam? There were people from all sides that thought he was a scrambling QB only.

Racial bias is about the race of the player. Not the person making the statement.

In other words an African American can make a racially biased statement about a African American player just as easily as a white person can.

Just because a person is white or black doesn't mean that certain stereotypes don't intrude on their psyche.

You can be racially biased and not racist per se. You can't be a racist and like football it's impossible. But you can think that black people are better suited naturally for athletic positions (RB, WR, etc) and white players are more suited for cerebral positions (QB). I'd like to think that our board is above that though.

To deny that there was a racial aspect to some or even much of the criticism of Cam is just denying the real world.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
