Is the media ready to build Cam back up again?

We all witnessed it over the past 2 seasons. They built him up his rookie year and loved tearing him down last year.

I am thinking they will begin to build him back up again now that tearing him down is no longer new or interesting.

the W-L column will build him up or continue to tear him down. if the team doesn't win, then regardless of how well he does the media is going to talk down about him. if the team wins, they'll be riding his jock.they like to attach themselves to winners and tear down losers.

he had it easy his rookie year because he was a novelty and set records, but that has worn off and been replaced by young mobile QBs who set records as well managed to land on teams that won instead of teams that excelled in making excuses for losing.

It is crazy how they do not mention him when talking about the new young QBs in the league. They act like our subpar record is solely his fault. The only reason these rookie Qbs and KK made the playoffs last year was solely because of the QB play. The only ones I see that act like he exists are Jon Gruden as well as Mike and Mike. We have to build our defense up to keep some of those late game leads and the media will love Cam.

Agreed. There are few people that define the term "bandwagon" as much as sports writers.

yep...unless you are a large and super-hyped market team the only chance you have for any real respect at all from the fickle media is to be a winner.

New York teams and Dallas have no lack of hype in their coverage. They have the most hyped coverage there is.

      I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

      The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
