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.

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.

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.

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
