To compare Cam's attitude the last couple years to a fiery Tom Brady, Steve Smith, Big Ben, etc isn't even the same topic.

 

Considering Cam himself has been very vocal this year about wanting to change the way he had been reacting to tough situations it is blind homerism to think that he didn't have some maturing to do. I'll give him this, I really think he has turned the corner this year and put all that behind him and people will see that but to say his attitude has always been fine when he and his teammates acknowledge it has been an issue is just sticking your head in the sand.  

 

Didn't want to quote the whole block, but I think most of us are referring to the celebrations part.  Most rational people will acknowledge that the "Mr. Mopeyhead" stuff needed to go.  I didn't see it as a BIG deal, and I don't think that Smitty, Kalil or Gross were saying it was a big deal, but it was something that needed to change.

 

The poo that really gets my blood boiling are the comments from idiots about "celebrating when his team is getting blown out" or "towel on the head" (though that falls under the sulking column, it's not actually accurate...) or "celebrating every first down he runs for" or "entertainer and icon" type stuff.  All that is absolute garbage and is at least a sign of complete ignorance.  Otherwise it's just trolling, which is even worse than ignorance.

lmao

 blah, blah, fuggin blah.

 

Attitude is about perception.  One mans asshole is another mans hero and vice versa.  As much as I love Steve, he actually fights his teammates, opponents hell maybe even the coaches. But we love him for it. Why?

 

Tom Brady is a dick. An arrogant, self centered, entitled little bitch. But, the public loves him. Why?

 

Tom has won nothing since he was bestowed with all this praise, yet he is still loved? Why? Because no matter how much of an asshole he is, his organization sticks up for him and he doesn't piss off the media.

 

Steve Smith same thing.  He could walk up and punch someone in the mouth. Be completely in the wrong, and the huddle would fall on its sword to cover for him. Why? Because the media has not sullied his name because he gives them interviews and makes them money.

 

 

 

And P.S.  Tom Brady was cheating during the game. Honestly, did noone else see that?

How was Brady cheating?

And yes we even create a double standard here. 89 simply is given a pass or his poo is spun....when others would be blasted for it by the collective fanbase.

What was it? What it was....matters.

WRs wear sticky gloves. QBs even put on sticky gloves on in rain. Not sure he was cheating

I was in Northern PA during this game, basically out of touch with society, and could see this. Even having a conversation with several people when I got back where I had to explain the circumstance.

some people are just going to ignore that little piece of information to build up this fabricated story that Cam needs an attitude adjustment.

I don't know about most people, but anyone who has ever played any form of a sport in the last 5-15 years would go to war with that cat and knows exactly why. That is, if they haven't lost touch with their competitive spirit.

The more jaded people get to sports, who mostly read articles and never watch a game, become a little more neurotic in their opinions.. That is unless they are a complete homer for their college team and then they just become laughable.

It's like the crucifixion of Johnny Manziel after the Rice game. No one took into account the tweet a Rice play put out saying what was actually going on in the convo between him and Manziel that led to taunting. I also doubt he was taunting with his signature signing and was more likely making this to explain something to a familiar face who played for another school, in TEXAS. They spin everything though and are masters of appealing to the feeble minded.

football is an emotional game...for every minute a player is pissed on the sideline, Cam is pissed for 20!

he celebrates touchdowns like he's won the superbowl during games that he is getting demolished.

great athlete but in my honest opinion...fix the brain and attitude first!

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on Arian Foster as a player?

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
