I don't consult my employees when I'm terminating one of their peers.

This is no different in my eyes. My job is to steer the ship. It's my neck on the line. I let an employee talk me out of it, then poo hits the fan?

My ass is the one filing for unemployment.

 

So you wouldn't ask your manager if it is a reasonable idea to get rid of an entire department of your company, and then replace them with one really old guy and a couple of teenagers?

Cam isn't the manager.  He's one of the top employees. 

 

OK, let's say that's the case. Maybe you might want to check in with your 'top employee', who you have placed a heavy burden on for his entire career and is pretty much the only reason your company is succeeding, before you fire most of his fellow employees. He might not want to be taking on even more tasks, and would be interested in going to a different company where he can get paid more money and have more talented people to work with. If you tick off your employees, they don't want to stay.

 

If you honestly think Cam is going to want to stay here when he has nobody to protect him and nobody to throw to, I don't know what to say. What quarterback in the league wants to go into the season with Byron Bell as a starting tackle (let alone their left tackle) with Jericho Cotchery as their top receiving option?

Disagree, he a player, not a personnel guy. The GM is the guy ruining the show.

I have no problem with this. Cam has enough in his plate with going to school, having surgery and preparing for next season.

And being in the Carribean. I hope he took some game film because Scam suckz.

When Cam's contract comes you guys remember this is a business. The same ones screaming it's a business are the same ones that are going to be crying when Cam has to be paid a premium just to stay.

Cam has earned his contract, you have to pay the piper. I have no problem with it. However, because of who he is as a man and a leader I see him taking a deal like Rodgers or Brady that's structured in a manner to benefit the team. He's not the POS Drew Brees is.

Cam is one of our several top employees and he is absolutely NOT the only reason our company is succeeding. And no, none of the top employees should have been consulted. 

 

Honestly...I'm done having conversations with the people who take the "we don't have this and we don't have that" stance. IT's such a ridiculous stance.

People act like we dropped an AJ Green or Julio Jones type receiver. Someone that got drafted the same year as Cam, that he has great chemistry with and puts up 1400 yards every year. We all love Smitty, but let's all be honest with ourselves that at this stage of his career Smitty was just another guy. LaFell was meh at best and Ginn was a first round bust that did well for us in a few highlights, but also dropped multiple sure touchdown bombs as well.

They are going to sign Cam to a massive contract, and when they do they'll have the cap flexibility to also sign some weapons for him long term for a sustained success.

How this concept continues to elude so many is truly baffling.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
