The article covers all the drama, criticism and highlights of Cam's rise. It's kind of amazing to reflect on the extremes surrounding him, but I think we can never wonder if the kid has mental toughness. How the hell does a normal person survive all that insanity?

A year later, he's the most captivating player in the most popular sport on earth.

that really was a great article.

and it really puts all the negative hype against cam into perspective from the media. It seems like they really didn't want him to succeed, and it helps to explain a lot of the hate he received. I'll admit to being guilty of that as well. It's hard not to be manipulated by that many people saying the same stuff. Props to those who believed in cam from the beginning, and of course, props to our awesome QB for coming out unscathed.

Thanks for sharing that article. I'm OCD too. OCD is a recipe for success when correctly harnessed....it's like J-5 (jet fuel).

In regards to Cam's early success being only because of defenses getting behind during the lockout..

For those keeping track at home, yes, September 20th is the day the rookie who would surely struggle after the NFL lockout became the rookie who's only succeeding because of the NFL lockout.

Bingo.

What we learned.

The media and draft analysis are generally full of poo and more interested in web hits, circulation, listeners, and viewers than actual journalistic integrity.
