Do you like Cam's smiley-face superman celebrations?

I am old school myself, but I can get behind Cam and his Superman. I realize that football is an emotional sport, so players showing emotion is going to happen. But those choreoghraphed dance moves are a bit over the top. I believe Cam has earned his time in the sun, I ain't gonna stomp on his parade. As said before, he is doing it out of joy not out of disrespect.

Just my thoughts, and GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sort of the same. As a fan (and old fuddy-duddy) I don't care for contrived celebrations, but it doesn't ruin my day and maybe it fires the team up. On a professional level, it's kinda tacky, but as long as it doesn't cost us a game, whatever.

Cam and his Superman have evolved into a simple gesture, done out of glee. I see no reason to curtail his enthusiasm.

As I have said, football is an emotional sport. So players are going to show their emotions when they do something special. If they keep it simple, I could care less. It is when they show out that gets to me. And Cam doing a simple celebration is not something I get worked up over.

I guess I am just a simple man who can live with simple celebtrations.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
