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.

    • Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.
    • Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.
    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
