What's The Proper Way To Lose?

[beastson]

Yes I made a separate fuging thread

Cause it's fuging needed

WTF kind of question is that. Seriously?

I turned that presser off when he asked that

[panthers04100]

It's actually a great question. The reporter was basically asking cam how he's thinks the fans and media thinks he should act after a loss.

That depends entirely on whose side you're on and what point of view you look at the question from.

From a reporter's point of view it's a great question. It's polarizing, it's almost guaranteed to give you a sound byte if it's answered, it plays right to the story du jour about how bad Cam is with the media. It's a very loaded question. It's inviting conflict between either Cam and the media or Cam and the fans.

From Cam's point of view it's probably a terrible question - for all the same reasons.

I thought it shouldn't have been asked.

[CarolinaAllDay]

It is a valid question...

[Mr. Scot]

Should you always be a good sport? Yes.

I have a hard time understanding that as the "right way to lose", Not sure such a thing exists among competitors.

If he thinks there is such thing as a "proper way to lose" then he shouldn't be in the NFL in my opinion, no reason to ask a proffesional competitor that AT ALL.

It's that whole reporting for ratings / readers thing. Questions like that get asked when someone needs a line.

You know, I've been critical of Cam in my posts and still think there are some serious maturity issues there, but I don't believe I would have handled that continous stream of absolutely idiotic questions as well as he did. They were doing their best to bait him into a soundbite and if I was there I would have had to punch several of them.

I really liked the BS line of questions about how they changed the offense (one week ago) and what do you do when it doesn't work (one loss later). Were they wanting him to say that he should quit or perhaps get him to say that they coaches should be fired? There were simply no good answers to these questions and shame on them for being such ametuers. I seriously would have exploded.

Between Cam's demeanor and these idiot reporters you have there in Charlotte, I agree with what someone else said--- Cam would be better off taking the fine for not showing up. And yeah, that looks bad too, but I think it would be better.

Call out Rivera next time around so JR will send his @ss packing like Hurney. Cam got the wrong guy fired last time. This time he need to name him, "Chico".

[davos]

It should not "to lose" but "to take a loss"

[Who Said What?]

I am tired of telling people that Cam does not need to learn how to lose. He needs to learn how to navigate the media onslaught. Like Joe Montana said, somebody was supposed to teach him how to do that and they dropped the ball.

sorry...it's a sucky question.

the reporter apparently is the one, just like the rest of the media, who need to be answering that since they seem to do nothing but bitch about the way cam reacts to losing.

i assume they are the experts on losing.

cam's still new to this losing thing and i honestly hope he never gets used to it. i hope for his and our sake that the losing culture that permeates here changes soon.

i don't want him to be a good loser. i want him to hate it and i want the rest of the team to equally despise it and do something to prevent it from happening here.
