Cams Attitude


CPcavedweller

Recommended Posts

Not to beat a dead horse but Cams "poor attitude" and how it affects the team has been "well"(not really) documented by the media. This frustration permeates our team and destroys the fabric of comradery. So what does ESPN say of Tom Brady's outburst on Thursday night.(while I agree with his reaction, I do not agree with the double standard)

From ESPN

"His reaction is understandable. He is 36 years old and he's running out of time to build on a Super Bowl résumé that at one time was so perfect, so pristine. He looks around the league and sees the weapons other elite quarterbacks have to highlight their talents, and it has to be irritating."

Cam wins rings, he can do whatever he wants

Not only does Cam not throw fits, but he handles himself better with much less organizational support as well as actually requiring to be tackled before the whistle is blown. If Brady is touched the refs blow a whistle. If not, he or Jim Harbaugh whines. Having rings has nothing to do with this. Geno could've showed his frustrations through all the drops but he didn't. Brady acts like a spoiled child and I hope he is caught crying when the strongest pinky belonging to a certain Tongan brings him down on a Monday night in November.

It really is mind blowing how Cams towel is interpreted versus Brady's temper tantrums. Think that affects the young receivers confidence? Yes.

Brady whines, cries, yells, talks poo, and yes...if he takes off running for a first down he even pulls out a big first down karate chop if be mood hits him....

But he wins. Therefore all that is cool. It is what it is.

I disagree with most everything you post for various reasons. What part of Brady's play won them the game tonight? ESPN won't talk about his less than 50% completion. No, they will refer to Cams 97.6 QB rating in which he completed 70% of his passes against the Seahawks, yet Cam has not matured in the game enough.

Brady generally wins games, yes. But without Belicheck calling the shots and drafting good defensively the Pats would be 0-2 right now.

Why does Harbaugh whine if Brady is touched and a flag isn't thrown?

Tom has 3 rings- he gets a pass.

The double standard if legit, so.is JOAT's post.

There were double standards right within the game last night between Geno and Brady.

I Geno was a little high or low or missed deep they would talk about his accuracy, when Brady did the same it was "OMG TEH RECEIVERS!!1!1!

But he is Tom Brady. He has the resume to give him the benefit of the doubt. Other guys are still proving themselves.

    • That is just Panthers history pain speaking.
    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
