I think people misconstrue what he said to mean "I don't ever mess up so when other guys do mess up it pisses me off"

What he was trying to actually convey is that he wants his other teammates to hurt as bad as he does when he screws up or when he makes a bad play or loses a game. He wants others to hold themselves to the same standard as he holds himself to in terms of not accepting failure on any given play or any given Sunday.

I read an article today about that interview and all I've got to say is everyone but Cam is allowed to speak the truth. The media and some folks, treat Cam being QB, like the poor kid sitting at a rich person's dinner table. They pretend to welcome him but they know damn well they don't want him there because he isn't like them.

people will take anything that any high profile sports superstar says out of context for ratings. If you work in the media its your job to fug up someone life for ratings if the opportunity presents itself.

i just hate people in journalism with a passion don't mind my ramblings.

The one part of the interview that intially "concerned" me, was when he said he wants to win, be on a winner and if he somewhere where thats not the attitude or happening he will just go somewhere where it is.

That was a bit concerning at first since if just by chance this franchise doesnt turn it around, Rivera ends up not being the guy, Hurney doesnt draft well etc it kind of made me think in that scenario Cam just might want out of town. BUT then I was like,,,,,, hey.... its about time we have somebody with that mind set who can lead the Panthers back to the promise land, etc and I envisioned the Panthers being an elite team with Cam at the helm ;-)

The fact that everything this kid says, get spun into him being arrogant is seriously telling. Especially when even a blind man can tell that the offense is WAY better than the defense and the defense is hurting the team.

I can bet you dollars to donuts that if Blaine Gabbert was performing like Cam and said the same thing, there wouldn't be any need for an explanation or defending.

I think there's a lot in that interview that has been taken out of context.

I seriously don't know why Cam continues to give ESPN interviews when clear that all they seem to enjoy doing is pushing that "gotcha YA" journalism. Like his situation with Auburn and ESPN handling of it. His drafting experience and them spinning and pushing the "he so stupid and arrogant" image and now this interview. Cam must be a real glutten for punishment.

And what's with the darn The Golden Calf of Bristol comparison?

First off, anyone who isn't afraid of being labeled know Tim is getting away with his bad mechanics because of those around him. Why isn't Tim being compared to QBs in his class? Why is the media always comparing Cam to him or visa-versa. Are they trying to say, Cam is no better than Tim or that Tim is just as good as Cam?

I even read an article where the writer hinted that since Cam is playing so well, then there is NO WAY Andrew Luck shouldn't be as good when he enters the NFL. Yeah, it's good to see how hard Cam has to work to change the negative preception intentional painted against him, while the more preferred QBs get to piggyback off of his talent.

I am backing Newton 100%, if we have guys on the team not taking failure to heart we need them out of here. They might have fit in well with the 'mentality' of 10 but not now, I am sure glad Cam is here to help sniff them out and change their perspectives, and if they don't want to change we need to move along.

Our QB is here to win and is playing to win, but he can't do it by himself.

I assume you listened to the sentence after he said that? :rolleyes: He made it clear it wasn't about leaving.

      Be careful what you wish for

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.

      On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
