Sitting in traffic listening to sports radio. Obviously the topic is Cam and the Schein article. EVERY caller is hating on Cam and EVERY caller starts out with "I'm not a Panther fan but..."

If you're not a Panther fan then STFU.

Yeah, it is pretty fuging obnoxious. 

 

Cam is a perfect example of how something/someone can be so complex.  

 

Everything he does reinforces most peoples preconceived notions, good or bad.

The whole "i'm not a Panther fan but.." thing is a bit old.  The one thing I have noticed is I have been listening to local sports talk for damn near a decade now, and those types of callers used to say I'm a Cowboys fan or I'm a Washington fan.  Now listen to them, you hardly ever get a Cowboys or Redskins fan.  They all say Pittsburgh or 49ers or Seahawks or some other media hyped team.  My take on this is a little different, these people have no real allegiances.  We win a few games and all of a sudden they have been Panther fans since '93.

I was listening to 610 this morning from 7:15a-8:30a on the drive into work and I only heard one caller say "I'm not a Panther fan but..." and he was the only one I heard that was negative about Cam and it wasn't that bad. Another caller who mentioned he was a 49er fan due to Mac bringing up how Kaepernick was praised for the same things Cam is hated on because winning makes everything ok was vehemently defending Cam.

 

Mac was asking people what they thought the reasoning for the hate for Cam from some of the media and some of the fans. People were saying what they thought it might be but no one was hating on Cam in fact they were all defending him from what I heard. I may have missed one or two but to say EVERY caller was hating and was from another fanbase just isn't true at all or we must have been listening to two different radio stations with the same topic.  

 

There is unwarranted hate for Cam from some of the media and a very small portion of the fanbase but there are many more people that are just way too sensitive if anything is said about Cam that isn't high praise.

 

But I should probably STFU because I am not a Panther fan. :)

I think that reddit thread on Cam shows other fanbases actually think highly of him or at least have begrudging respect.

Yeah I listened till about 830 and didn't hear what SCP was referring to from every caller hating on Cam.

 

I did hear Mac say he'd prefer Luck over Cam

I saw a guy with a Falcons hat on in an Asheville restaurant the other day. Is it weird my first instincts were to punch him in the face?

We gotta take back our state man, this is Panthersland.

Not sure why you didn't. Should've sucker punched him, done the cam superman pose and then run out of there like a bat out of hell...

I like to think of myself as a scholar and a gentleman, but these bandwagon fans in NC are testing my patience.

      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.
