So, I Found The Reporter That Tried To Start A Controversy With Cam

There was no "elaborate" comment, only the "back it up" comment. No one asked Cam to elaborate, this Sullivan guy changed the story when he wrote it to "elaborate".  

Watch the damn video fool. Cam was specifically asked why he didn't want to elaborate, likely from Sullivan who says he's the one who asked that (and there's no reason at all to believe he's lying about that).

Yes - there was - listen to the press conference.  There is a clear question to elaborate and cam answered - then someone else said back it up.

So then who asked the original question?  Because to me, the voice that asked the question and the voice that asked to elaborate sounded the same.  But like I said earlier, the voice that said to back it up was different.  According to this guy's article, he is the one who asked the question and he is the one who asked him to elaborate.

I kind of see a bunch of something made here about nothing.

Some on twitter are saying the Original question was asked by Mitch Albom. Not sure about that..but ehhh

I did watch the video "fool". If I didn't hear something a reporter said because they're so quiet in those videos, that's another story.

You guys are taking what was said out of context, but I am not going to explain it to you. Needless to say that political correctness has been one of Cam's strong suits. 

The reporter telling Cam that Cam "brought it up" (he didn't) and that he is required to "back it up" (he isn't) is being taken "out of context"?

I stopped watching those evening ESPN shows for years because they were insufferable. Then I found it on one day and Bomani Jones was on.

 

Love that guy. Totally makes that whole half anhour block tolerable if there's nothing else on. 

ESPN gave him a radio show at 4 nationally and it's awesome. Fresh perspective, no bs. Bomani is good stuff

"Back it up" means to justify your words. "Elaborate" means to give more details. There's a difference. One implies there's something wrong with what was said, the other is a neutral request for more information. It's that simple. 

You would think that these guys who inevitably defend journalists no matter what would be more educated and aware about the meaning and usage of, you know, WORDS.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
