it was pretty interesting hearing him say how he had to fight to play the qb position when he was younger because he was so big coaches wanted to put him at wide reciever or tight end.

 

and here is the full video

"I mean, I don't see what the big fn deal is so your a revolutionary black qb why you gotta shove it in my face why you gotta make everything about race" - says a bunch of random white guys with flavor savers

Yea this is pretty much par for the course for the discussion comments under nfl articles nothing to see here move along etc

[The Golden Child]

Well said Cam

Cam was born in Africa?

 

yes, he has a false birth certificate.

 

 

just like obama.

I try to avoid reading the comments in articles like that.  Seems to bring out the idiots.

 

Fwiw, I am not surprised a coach would want Cam to play a position like receiver.  He has the height and speed to be a star at the position, just as he is at Qb.

The comments were just unbelievably bad. One troll even went with the old thinly veiled standby "Cam was born in Africa?"

if I remember correctly Spurrier wanted Cam as a TE at USC.
