Is the media ready to build Cam back up again?

[Zod]

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.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

are you lonely this morning zod?

[TheRumGone]

I haven't cared about what the media has said about him for a long time. I just want him to play to the best of his abilities.

[PantherBrew]

I had this thought as well.

America loves redemption and comeback stories.

Even though, he never left, or his level of play never dropped.

But it will be spun that way.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

If we can get a decent start to the year, the media doesn't have the patience to check out the second half of a non playoff season. You have to stay at least .500 for five or six games, which we have not.

[rayzor]

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he had it easy his rookie year because he was a novelty and set records, but that has worn off and been replaced by young mobile QBs who set records as well managed to land on teams that won instead of teams that excelled in making excuses for losing.

[Who Said What?]

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.

Sports writers cater to their audience. Avid sports fans love drama. Just look at the discussions here.

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

[XClown1986]

Forget the media building him back up, the team needs to put a "C" on his chest this year. They have to rally around their QB.

[TheRed]

The media is irrelevant, they will always be focused on "the next big thing". It will never change.

It's all going to come down to how this team comes together and leaders step forward. Nothing else matters.
