http://www.change.org/petitions/nfl-the-magazine-editorial-staff-remove-tim-The Golden Calf of Bristol-from-the-cover-of-the-nfl-the-magazine-inaugural-issue

I've already contacted Kevin LaForce (the VP in charge of the mag) and Roger Goodell through email, and LaForce is supposed to return my phone call later today. Be courteous, but insistent.

The petition doesn't mention Cam because getting rid of The Golden Calf of Bristol will be impetus enough to put Cam back on it, hopefully.

I care about this greatly because I ordered a two-year subscription based on receiving a collectors' edition of the inaugural issue with Cam on the cover, and this bait-and-switch infuriated me.

Please stop.

Look, we have a player who we hope will develop into a franchise star, one of those guys we can always look to other teams and say "Cam Newton was a Panther," much like our own Steve Smith. He's already getting dogged by people wanting to gift Dalton the RoTY, posters up here who would rather have the backup QB from Miami, and a media ready to prop The Golden Calf of Bristol up one day just so they can blow him up the next.

Cam will be in this league years after The Golden Calf of Bristol is off building orphanages in the third world and maybe one day getting laid. The Golden Calf of Bristol's a great person, terrible QB, and this honor was given to Cam before being unceremoniously taken away to someone who isn't even the best player on his own team, or the most responsible for their current win streak.

If they put Von Miller instead of Cam on the cover I would have had far less of a problem, but The Golden Calf of Bristol deserves nothing more than five million reps with a hanging tire and a football.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      That's part of being patient too. Not rushing players into roles they aren't ready for. Make them earn it. If you convince yourself that "so and so" needs to start because they were a first round pick, even though they have done nothing to earn it, you have set up both team and player for failure. You can convince yourself all day long that "there is no substitute for game experience" but if the guy can't do his job in practice, he can't do it in a game. Not consistently, anyway.  Teams like the Steelers, the Ravens and the Packers ROUTINELY bench rookies to start off with and no one bats an eyelash. Even if the team is losing. Because that's what they do. They have set the precedent. The players have to show they are ready. Then they get their chance.

      Let me provide you with some food for thought. Before this "now era" of the NFL, QBs were allowed time to develop. Everyone from the GM to the fans had more patience. QBs were simply better in the old because they were afforded the time to sit, observe and learn. It's no wonder that guys we threw away, or simply didn't want, have had varying degrees of success elsewhere.  Some Huddlers were talking crazy about Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson---just crazy...

      I think the JAG debates are largely people having vastly different definitions of JAG.  The OG JAG LB debate was James Anderson.  And James Anderson is probably going to be ahead of Shaq on my alltime LB list (it's really close though).
