NFLN... positive comments about Cam (vid)

It's funny how these talking heads intentionally make it their agenda to dismiss what Cam did in Blinn as not worthy of counting so they can make their argument of him being a one win, one season QB. But ironically when Aaron Rogers won the SB, they couldn't stop talking about his time in a junior college and how it help to mold the QB he is today.

I have a problem with selective journalism.

you're way overreacting... these guys are heaping praise on him and you get pissed that one guy said "I'm surprised how good he looks given his one year in college!" The analyst may not even know he went to Juco because he may not have done a ton of research on him, just watched him some last year and this preseason, who knows. He certainly wasn't bashing him for it.

It's not selective journalism, it's that you can't compare the two in the same way.

I don't think anyone gave a poo about what Rodgers did in Juco when he was a year or two or even three into the league, and honestly I doubt anyone much cares now. Once you win the Superbowl and become Superbowl MVP, everyone decides that every moment of your life was leading up to that one point, so they have to talk about it. For that matter I don't even remember it being a huge deal in the Superbowl, but I'll take your word for it that the entire media went crazy about it.

Guarantee you if Cam wins it all, people will be all "yeah that incident at Florida allowed him to redeem himself at Blinn and it really got his head on straight so he could become the great player he is!"

I'm surprised at how much praise they are giving him given that many of the analysts are still slamming him on most things. I have to agree with most of what was said.

Seems clear that Newton is a leader and the guys respond to him in a way no quartback has since Jake on this team, and thats a good sign

I mean it's nice to see the good side of it from the national media too - but neither really means a damn until he has some regular season action under his belt. To me (and off of the cameras probably for everyone in the media too) this weeks game means more than all of his preseason work combined.

Everything I read / see until then I think of as just filler.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
