"Absolutely not," he told WCCB-TV, via AL.com. And I say this with the most humility, but I don't think nobody has ever been who I'm trying to be. Nobody has the size, nobody has the speed, nobody has the arm strength, nobody had the intangibles that I've had. I'm not saying that to say I'm a one-on-one type of person that this league will never see another. No, I'm not saying that. Hear me out. I'm just saying that so much of my talents have not been seen in one person."

One of a kind, Cam...

[Wyank]

Nothing wrong with striving to be great.

[KendrickPanther]

He's not wrong. At the same time most elite athletes are unique in some way. And every person is unique in many ways. So it really comes down to results which he's shown great promise.

[Dex]

Cocky, arrogant, bad footwork.

Cam is feeling a lot healthier, ankle is all fixed (you have to remember its been bothering him since his rookie year). Ribs are all healed up again. So right now He is feeling like this year is the year that he will finally be able to show the NFL what he really can do.

I am ready to see Cam bust the league wide open and leave the naysayers with their jaws on the floor.

[RockyTopVol]

I understand where he was headed with this (potential), though it's not going to come across that way nationally. Maybe he didn't quite articulate the point well enough. It's like a football equivalent to Louis CK's SNL monologue.

Every time I see an article like this, I post a comment to back up my QB, even if that message gets swallowed by the ignorant. 

People need to figure out that Cam is not the punk that ESPN makes him out to be.

[Car123]

They will hate regardless. Fug being humble.

[CarolinaNCSU]

At this point, he's going to be hated regardless. Even if he wins the Super Bowl while saving a puppy from getting trampled in the celebration.  

 

You do you, Cam. No problem with him having confidence in himself and wanting to take his games to new heights. All players should have that...and he's kinda right about no player ever being like him, IF he reaches his potential.  

[PantherPhann89]

Cam is 100% right on his assessment of his talent and comparison to QB talents in the league. I look forward to him putting his critics to bed this year...

[Cary Kollins]

lol nice article NFL.com

 

Cam is just speaking the truth, and writers have said as much since he came into the league.

[rodeo]

Cam did not talk like this for the past 2 years. Somebody is feeling confident and that's gonna be fun.

[Billy Love]

I agree with cam 100%...hell, I've been saying the same thing about him since 2011. ask yourself this question. name your top 5 quarterbacks currently in the NFL. most will come back with the usual suspects: brady, peyton, Rodgers, brees, etc. Now, ask yourself this...what came these quarterbacks do that Cam can't?...the answer is nothing. Now, what can CAM do that the top 5 can't ? in my opinion there's a lot. CAM has a unique skill set that no other QB has. If CAM ever self-actualizes, lookout.
