I was watching (Jim) Rome and one of the analysis was saying a lot players including

some Panthers don't like Cam. I'm clueless have say yall read anything regarding this? Did something happen at the Pro Bowl? I remember in the Giant game Cam towel was on the ground and one of the giant players said something to the effect " number 1 come get your towel " and then threw it at him and that was only the third game of the season. Everything was all good last year and I realize that was last year but now everybody acting like wha Rg3 is doing now Cam didn't do last year. In spite of what critics are saying Cam is not having that bad of a year so fans vote for him for the pro bowl. http://www.nfl.com/probowl/ballot?campaign=PbBallot_thank_button

These men are professionals that are paid exceedingly well for the job they do. They don't have to like one another.

That said since Zod is likely the only one on this board who spends any significant time around the team Ill believe his take before I give two shits about some rumor.

I don't know whether other players like him or not. But, if you think Cam's play warrants selection to the Pro Bowl you are dillusional.

It is a storyline that is getting alittle more play. I think this started in the Pro Bowl last year where Cam was being a rookie and having fun with the meaningless game. The AFC turned up the heat in the 2nd half and won the game (I think - not even sure its the stupid pro bowl afterall). After the game I read some comments somewhere about him maybe not taking it seriously but not sure any of the players do really. FF to this year and you have the Smitty deal. On the rado yesterday there was a guy called in stoking this up again about players not liking him (his opinino based on pregame interaction). Who knows? Like you guys said other teams don't have to like him. Probably something to keep an eye on regarding his teammates but as far as I know all of his teammates have come out in support of him. Watch the media long enough and you will see everyside of every argument. If no controversey they will produce it up. The media is a production...watch less of it and you will be happier as a result.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
