While I agree the reaction to Cam saying it would have been greatly exaggerated, in my opinion aaron rodgers has a bit more leeway to run his mouth in public because of his accomplishments.

cam will get there too, though.

What he said was probably true, and the OP is right, had Cam said the same thing he would have been called out for it.

But, a ring and a league MVP carry a little more clout than a ROTY.

Tom Brady says stuff all the time that an ordinary player would be crucified for saying. But he has earned the right to say those things.

Success/respect gives you a certain freedom to run off at the mouth.

Perfect example: When Raheem Morris said that the Bucs were the best team in the NFL last year, he was a laughing stock. But, if Belicheck had said the same about the Pats, no one would have blinked twice.

doesnt surprise me.

i honestly believe Coughlin put 12 guys on the field on purpose on that last drive.

Yeah, I would have. If the only penalty against you is 5 yards and the clock is run down for the play, it is well worth it. It seems like they need to have a rule where inside of 2 minutes, a penalty like that would reset the clock after the play to the original time if the penalty is accepted.

Its true, I can recall watching at least two giants games where a player did the "go down for 30 seconds" move to stall no-huddle offenses.

Hell, I remember one play where two of them went down, then one got right back up when he saw his teammate was taking the dive.

I highly doubt that. Media twists almost everything he says.

Rodgers was on point with everything he said. And I love the term "gamesmanship" as he was saying it with a half-grin. When he was saying that, I was surprised the host (can't remember if Dan Patrick or Bob Costas) didn't dig in on those comments.

Good for Rodgers to call it out though.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By strato · Posted

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.

      oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️
