Has anyone else noticed the shift in positive and negative media reception regarding Cam? Is the big market bias proven to be real?

It 100% is. He’s playing for ‘their team’ now so he’ll get better coverage.

Yeah, I’ve seen all of a sudden media personalities have sources that vouch that he is “healthy”. Everybody has stats on the playmaker he was and how He can change an offense.. things we already knew but had he been resigned here then it would have been more about our decision/risk in resigning as if us taking a chance isn’t a better indication of another team taking that chance on him. 
 

Times are different though and his contract amount even for a year is enough to just talk about the highs of the Patriots getting him for that price and the level of return that’s possible.  
 

Phony poo but none of it matters.

My premise has long been that sports media coverage is biased in favor of large media market teams in that sports media spends more time covering them than smaller market teams, unless said smaller market team has a transcendent star player like Newton. I don't know if the media is covering Cam more favorably now, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts now that he's gone we'll get less national media coverage. With Kuechly retired, if it weren't for CMC, they would probably barely notice us this coming season. Scratch that, Kuechly was great, but largely modest, quiet, unflashy and soft spoken off the field. CMC is at least dating a model, so that gives them something.

Ever notice that even when the Cowboys suck, the media talks about them CONSTANTLY?

Same for the Giants.

Bears.

When Green Bay stops having a top flight qb under center, you'll never hear about them again.

i don't think it's just the media, i've seen a remarkable shift in public perception of him in general. SO many people wishing him well and hoping he thrives in NE, i haven't seen very many 'bad signing he sucks' out in the wild

public perception has shifted on several non-sports things recently. hmm wonder if it’s related.

Green Bay has an unusually large fan base and an impressively rich history.

I agree with your post, I just find Green Bay to be the main exemption to it...

 

...Now the Saints, Falcons and Bucs... THOSE are your teams that you will never hear about when they don't have solid quarterbacks.

Christian's fantasy football's MVP and the consensus top runningback at the moment so I don't think we'll be any less relevant nationally, but he doesn't rile people up like Cam does. It'll be more like the constant praise Luke got.

Absolutely. Based on what the talking head's are saying, I feel like he's no longer (S)Cam Newton and is a superstar QB who sold out his body to carry the team (truth), who was just hurt the past few seasons. Now that he's "healthy", he will return back to MVP Cam. That's what I'm getting. Same thing happened to SSR89 after he left Carolina.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
