Who is Ryan Kalil? Is that him standing beside Rich Eisen the picture on the posted link? He looks like a farmer, not some media guy or team reporter.

These guys on First Take are a joke. 

 

Instead of them saying, "Thank God Cam's teammates finally stepped up". Instead they say, "now he's learned  that he doesn't have to do it all". 

 

And instead of Stephen A. Smith stating, 'Well the media was wrong blaming their losing on Cam'. Instead he essentially says 'whooptedamdoo'; saying, 'so what he's learned he doesn't have to do it all', like it was no big deal. And he still doesn't mention Rivera becoming a better coach, though he referenced him. 

 

Such biased reporting. They can never just give Cam a straight compliment, or challenge/criticize his teammates or coaches for their lack of production (as if Cam could stop them from producing altogether). SMH

 

And though Herm Edwards briefly mentioned Cam's great situational Football, he still had to use the defense as a crutch to Cam. It just goes to show, when a show wants to have a certain agenda, they will do it. 

 

And they called Cam's 2012 a bad year (unless they're talking about the won/loss record). SMH/LOL

 

Gotta Luv ESPN

That's how those guys on first take roll.  They never want to commit to giving players (all sport included) credit where it's due, that way, if need be, they can cover their ass, jump off the bandwagon and say I was skeptical or never really on board with said player(s) getting all this credit and attention.  Unfortunately, It's gonna take winning a SB to get the credit that not only cam and riverboat ron deserve at this point, but the whole team, especially from the first take "crew" and pretty much the majority of ESPN.

I shouldn't get sucked into this because I am almost 1000000% sure this is a troll job, Ryan Kalil is the starting center for your Carolina Panthers. 

 

Now for my question to you, are you a teenager?  This is the only good explanation for that comment.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
