I think alot of people forget what a shitshow that 2010 season was.

Looks like they forgot 2008 - 2011 entirely.

Over on defense there was Charles Johnson, pre-assault charges Greg Hardy, Jon Beason, Dan Connor, Chris Gamble, Thomas Davis, and Captain Munnerlyn. All were on both the 2011 + 2012 rosters. Same with Gross/Wharton/Kalil on the OL, Smitty/LaFell at WR, and Double Trouble at RB.

Not to mention there was a lot of the same talent from the 12-4 2008 season on that roster. Hard to call that a locker room full of losers, guys that don't want to win, guys that didn't want to prepare... especially when John Fox's lame duck season and CBA lockouts followed shortly after. That 2-14 team lost TD, Connor, Otah, DWill, and Wharton all two season ending injuries. Matt Moore also went down which is what forced Clausen + Pike to start (before Keith Null and Brian St Pierre limped the team to the finish line). Moore had ended 2009 4-1 with an 8:1 TD:INT ratio after Jake broke his finger.

It's insane to me that Cam would've even suggested that his teammates were losers, especially given how much former teammates have talked him up. It was very much a talking head hot take but if it's what he truly believes... ooh wee mayne.

This got mentioned on GMFB on NFL network just now. Cam really put his foot in his mouth on this.

Not a fan of his personality type at all..  He was fun to watch on the field some but hard pass...

Cam needs to shut up but he won't. He's trying way too hard to stay relevant in the media. He only appeared on the special forces show because he admitted he needs money to provide for his 8 kids from various baby mamas. It's getting sad.

And that’s just it, literally NOBODY was talking about Cam in the media when he came out and said what he said. There was no need to remind everyone of his personal greatness and double down by calling his teammates losers. Why feel the need to knock others to elevate yourself? 

I don’t think Cam knows what to do without the limelight and attention, be it positive or negative. He is confirming, and even admitting to the negative personality traits that he has been accused of. 

Whatever slim chance he may of had at Canton is pretty much dead now. The respect of his teammates, he just shot to all hell, so the MVP award that he holds in highest regard may be all he’s got left.

I guess now would be a good time to remind him he was cut for Mac Jones

Oh, Cam. He's never been the wordsmith he may think he is. But with a bigger platform on the ultimate sports clickbait, hot-take network (what was once the worldwide leader in sports), this will likely only be the first of many instances.
