I think it's time Cam cut down on the celebrations.

I was thinking about this for awhile and I think for the next few games Cam needs to cut down on his more elaborate/superman celebrations. I know it may sound like an overreaction but I'm looking at this from a psychological perspective. And by that i mean towards the fallout it causes. I think it's safe to say that Cam hates losing and i love that about him. I think he's genuine when he talks about how disgusted losing makes him feel. But I also think he's having a much, much harder time dealing with it than he lets on and the media is not helping at all. That's why I think he needs to calm down on the "superman" and A-stomp" celebrations for now. After the Giants loss the media has been honing in on his celebrations as a target to criticize him. Even watching the NFl.com highlights of todays game they started questioning Cams endzone celebration against the Falcons. I have a feeling that if he does one of those celebrations and doesn't win he will continue to be ridiculed by all forms of sports media and his maturity and leadership scrutinized more than it should be and right now he can't handle the constant character assassination. He can celebrate with his teammates but i think his more flamboyant celebrations should be shelved until the "W's" start piling up and the networks aren't ripping him for them.

Who cares about the media. Let Cam be Cam.

The point wasn't about whether you cared. I love his celebrations but as long as he does it and we lose he is going to be personally criticized and i think "he" feels it more than he wants to admit. This isn't the same as at Auburn where he could deal with the scolding by going undefeated. He's being called out for being a loser and he can't refute that and no one is giving him any latitude. I'm not asking for him to not celebrate but use more subdued ones for now until he can put more W's in the column. It gives everyone else less venom to throw his way and it makes these all the more sweeter when he doesn't need to be attacked for them.

I actually thought about this today when Cam did his thing on the TD run. The thing that bothered me was that some of the lineman were around him (I think Gross in particular was trying to congratulate him) and Cam just went on and did his thing basically ignoring the guys who helped him get there. That bothered me from a team perspective. When Cam does these things it seems to be more about Cam than the team.

I get that guys want to celebrate but when you are in a leadership position such as at QB...try to include your teammates in it if they are right there with you.

      Brother I hate to tell you but that's a terrible draft. You hit at 51 but the rest is...not good.

      FA Splash: Panthers sign Jaelan Phillips EDGE

      By Basbear · Posted

      If you check next year there's 50 mill in cap space, * without this years draft class or next. 5+ should allow this year given its top 51. Next it jumps and you need another 5-10 mill for 27 draft class. Most team like to carry 10 into each season for injuries. It goes fast....... I feel it pains as a "hater" *but* if my fav Panthers team decides BY is thee guy......(just how...)... I feel they should offer that malik Willis contract as the goal and base for a contract.  I believe they feel strong enough to sign these top FA, they are going for it right now........ So that hurts my idea of drafting a starting QB in 27 or even 26....Its hard to reset "going all-in" with a rookie QB learning the NFL game. Hell who knows what QB will be cut after this year too, no one thought Tua or Murray was getting cut before this past season, NO ONE. Watson could be a FA at any point this or next.  Honestly wildcard in this mofo is using the 19th on TY simp, let him learn at his own pace and flip BY for a mid pick or just ride him for the whole 5th year. Now you have a low cap hit young QB that's been learning for 2 years and you got him for the next 3 if he's the guy.....why not!?!?!!?

      Mike Kaye replying to above post: ”If he plays well next year, they will almost certainly restructure to open up cap and push down the cap number. His contract becomes guaranteed for Year 3 early in Year 2 unless he essentially bombs. I think 3 years, $90 million is the deal, which will almost certainly be reworked if successful. If it doesn’t, pretty notable gamble (let’s not kid glove this).  As with any deal there is nuance.” https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2033246139026174146?s=46
