Will provide recap after the segment. I'm sure it will be the typical, misinformed, Cam thrashing that ESPN loves to dish out. Hopefully they have someone on to talk about it with at least a little knowledge of the situation at hand this season. 

 

Tune in now! 

 

UPDATE: 

 

  • Mentioned Gettleman's comments (of course)

 

  • Chris Mortensen mentions how Dave Gettleman just reiterated what Cam said earlier in the week. It is time to win. 

 

  • Says if he were playing for the 49ers, that they still would have made the Superbowl.

 

  • Mortensen says they are not moving on from Newton and that there is no reason to be sour towards Cam Newton. Talked about how they won 5 of their last 6 games this season.

 

  • Agreed that Cam Newton did have the best first two years of any QB coming into the league from a statistical standpoint. 

 

  • Mentioned how Gettleman came from New York where Eli has won Superbowls but struggled as of late. Hinted that winning cures all and that it would apply to Cam as well. 

 

Whole segment probably lasted about 1-2 minutes at the most. Thought it might be more and they would make a big deal out of it. Overall Mortensen just said what we all already know and it was a typical fluff piece.

I was actually pleasantly surprised that Mortenson kept it accurate and didn't twist Gettlemans words into something they weren't. Espn has a habit of Cam bashing, and I was certain that's what I was going to see. Thanks for the heads up Maine.

It sounds like only Mort did.

Will the segment replay in the next hour?

 

Exactly. 

 

One "reporter" does (clarify). Meanwhile, various other ESPN "broadcasters/personalities" and segments, interpret and sensationalize it as they see fit. 

 

The non-story, should have never been reported--the way it was earlier-- on ESPN in the first place.

Yep. ESPN has a few Cam supporters (Dilfer, K. Johnson, Schlereth, C. Carter, etc) but they are usually outnumbered by those who desire to criticize him, or stir up nonsense.

 Keyshawn was a huge Cam supporter.  So much he thought we were Super Bowl bound before the season started.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
