The guys at Black and Blue Review are as horrified by this NFLN piece as I am

[Mr. Scot]

A lot of times I'm convinced some of these guys are told what to present and in what manner when they get in front of the big ESPN/NFLN cameras.

I've seen very respectable write ups and interviews from guys like Bucky Brooks and Trent Dilfer, but the second they get in front of those cameras they start saying the same jargon everyone else is, even if it directly contradicts an article they posted the previous day.

 

Both Davis and Bucky Brooks have been part of the Panthers organization in the past.

 

[Mr. Scot]

Eric Davis studders his way through segments while trying to throw in the I know because I played rhetoric.  He is terrible.  How can you pick an aging veteran who has broken the single season passing yards record as a break out player for the upcoming season?  He stays close to the obvious and when he is challenged he comes with the I played and I know line.  They used to call him the human pylon when he played and he is now the journalistic equivalent.

 

You remember Davis differently than I do.

 

He was our best corner for years, and a big, big part of the 1996 playoff run.

I am thinking about when he went to Detroit where Muhsin and SS were running circles around him.  That is where I heard the human pylon reference.

Brooks was a ST scout for us if I recall.

 

His articles are REALLY insightful, guy has a ton of knowledge of Xs and Os and FO politics.

 

I've heard Eric Davis outside of major network journalism.  Him in particular makes me think anyone who steps in front of a large sports network basically has their story and portrayal already laid out in front of them.

 

I mean heck look what has happened to Adam Schefter. He did one thing, and used to be the best there was at it.  You followed him if you wanted the quickest access to news regarding trades, free agency and contracts. Now he's reporting a seemingly random array of league related news.

I could argue Jay Glazer is an exception there.

 

But yeah, NFL Network Schefter was way better than ESPN Schefter.

Fact is, if Cam had come into the NFL, stayed humble, and hit the same numbers he is hitting down... critics would consider the limitations he has on this squad because of our injuries, and put him in the top 5 QB spots guaranteed!

Dude? I guess we will never know, so you have your opinion and I have mine.
