Yeah, I've said a couple of times, Cam is not complaining about the legal out of the pocket hits, when he's running. But.....QBs lose, all players lose. I've been watching football and sports in general a long time, never seen a player pucker his bottom lip and walk out.  This is why he has become a target, not the showboating.

There is a first time for everything..I see the passion and work Cam displays on the field..Thats really all his teammates need to see..The next game is where you see if he has handle the loss the right way not 30 mins after the game..He is not perfect he has his flaws one maybe that he does not handle lossing well to me as long as it is not life threatening or damaging to his psyche and he rebounds in positive way  i  see it as a good flaw to have.

We are talking about the enemy here. Do you think they care about your passion or feelings? PC nazis maybe be trying to get rid of bulling, but it still exists and will be used. You can't show weakness. And a scowl, a puckered lip is a sign of perceived weakness among other athletes 

Plain and simple, rattle Cam's ass and he crumbles and crys to the commissioner.

The bias in this thread is comical. A future Hall of Famers opinion doesn't mean as much as y'alls in your mind. That's rich. It's football. Cam is 6'5 250. Last season he says "If they don't want me to dance me, stop me from scoring" now he says "THIS ISNT FUN ANYMORE" He's the Odell of QBs.

The guy almost tears is ACL yesterday from an illegal which would have ended his season and he would have bern sitting at home doing nothing.....so yeah its NOT fun.

Who the hell isn't giddy as a kid on Christmas morning when they're winning, and pissed the hell off when they lose.

It's called being human. Give me the guy that is sick to his stomach after a loss 10 times out of 10.

People making a big deal out of press conferences, and what they perceive to be "pouting" are just useless curmudgeons.

Shut up. The issue is his health and his safety, not scoring. If every play you're trying not to get killed, you aren't having fun. So, shut up.

I'm sure any minute now Jangler will be back to rant about the pussification of America, and participation trophies.

Ok, so as a professional football player, when a defender is supposed to do his job, and prevent the other guy from doing anything; he's supposed to gently take him to the ground. Got it.

Yeah Cam made himself a target yesterday just throwing a normal pass that every other QB in the league makes when a Cardinal defender decided to launch himself at Cam's knees. fuging moron.

I wonder what Tony would think if one day one of his kids took joy in something and someone else got offended by it and decided to do something about it?

I'm sure good ol' Tony would be consistent and take his child to task for "making himself a target", right?

You're such a twat. I've already pointed out what I think about this. You had nothing to say about that... 

You're holier than thou bs is old and why I don't engage with you about anything.

Let's not do this. Nobody ever said a defender can't do his job. He, nor anyone here, has ever said Cam can't get hit. What a defender can't do is intentionally injure another player. That has never been part of the game. He is not wrong (nor any other player) for stating the obvious. So again my friend, shut the hell up on that.

Oh poor you.

Yo, @Shufdog, no need to slink away. Come on back, and tell us how you really feel about this race discussion.

This is quite literally a "look at what he was wearing" type of response from some of these guys.
