So this is The Cam Apologists board?

[ShutDwn]

Love it or hate it, 99.9% of our fans sees Cam as our Savior. Why'd you think everyone has a jersey of Cam or an avatar of superman.

The reason why cam acts this way is he's trying to prove to everyone that he wants to win. In doing so, he's doing it the wrong way. Too much pressure on him

Exactly. The way this team has functioned is really impacting his attitude. He doesn't have a C on his chest but he is the guy who must to make the plays for the team to win. He has to take responsibility for his attitude and he will get better at it but it takes experience.

Cam needs to step up his game on the bench and the rest of the team needs to step up on the field. He can't be the only one making plays. The team has to get to the point where he doesn't think he has failed because the team punted.

Haven't read past the OP, but 1 bad game 3 weeks into the season and he's been figured out? Really? Seems premature. Relax.

He came off like a cry baby and pouter, not a leader. Name one great leader in anything, not just football, who consistently, if not constantly, exhibits that demeanor when facing adversity or after defeat. You can't. There is no such thing.

Ditto for the sideline sulk, which SS called him out on. Elite QB's conference with colleagues and coaches, and plan for the next series on the field, and/or rally the team on the benches. Cammy goes into the corner with his binky over his head.

RR just said he was going to address some things personally with Cam too.

It is ultimately up to Cam whether this behavior continues, or whether he starts exhibiting the qualities of a leader, but nothing will change his behavior in similar situations last year (which he got a "talkin' to" from teammates for), or last night. It was what it was.

Yes, if there is won thing Michael Jordan and Larry Bird were known for it was his ability to except defeat with grace.

Some of the greatest winners were winners because it physically hurt them to lose. Because they took it harder than others. That is what drives them, that fear of losing.

Deal wit it.

[teeray]

BTW there are times that Larry Bird literally cried after a hard loss in his press conference and also is renown for calling his team a bunch of pussies after losing.

[teeray]

Michael Jordan once punched a teammate in the face during a scrimmage.

Personally, I don't care how you act in the Press conference, on the sideline, whatever, just so long as you give 100% effort on the field and your teammates play for you and the team.

Now while I do give some of the blame to the O-line, I also have to give some to Cam. All of his bad throws were not with pressure in his face. Honestly his strength in the pocket and ability to avoid defenders and make a play is one strength he is supposed to bring to our team. Part of the reason he has potential to be great because even when the O-Line is off he can make them look better. When he made these plays in the past we celebrated him, so when he does not make these plays he deserves the criticism.

Cam is a good young quarterback, who still has lots of time to grow. Some criticism is fair, but I don’t believe the team as a whole is that great. Put cam on the Washington Redskins this year and I believe he is looking far better than RG III. He deserves some blame, but so does about 95% of this team/organization.

No one said a winner doesn't take it hard, personally, hate it, etc. I'd like to see fire, anger, threats of revenge...anything but what Cam does. What's next - thumb sucking?

Smith, Kalil, Gross, and apparently RR today, have various issues with Cam's demeanor in adverse situations. It doesn't matter what you or I think. It does matter what the team thinks, and it is clear that they see the need for a change. Deal with that.

For those who say you don't care what he does on the sidelines, in the locker room, and in pressers, open your eyes and ears. All of those things transfer to the field and affect morale. Whether he is under the towel or like he was in the presser, Cam is presenting himself poorly.

People don't mature ever

cut cam

[King Taharqa]

A team of overpaid veterans who've grown used to losing dont like our star QBs attitude and demeanor. Boo hoo.

That is our problem.

Cam said winning isn't something you just wake up and do, it's a lifestyle.

The problem with the Panthers is it is full of losers with loser attitudes including Marty Hurney. They have no idea what being a winner is like, and that takes effect when you go against teams like the Giants.

[FastNFurious]

Maybe we find out in 2012 if Cam is really an "elite"qb or just a guy with loads of talent... and he really needs to put away the pacifier and start eating solid foods

[cammycamjooce]

The last thing we need is Cam to lose it mentally and become Vince Young.

Ugh.

[raleigh-panther]

Cam doesn't like losing.

I am fine with that.

I wish our coaching staff felt the same way.

I agree with you.

Cam is visible. The coaches not as much.

Rivera doesn't do 'Superman' impressions' or Gatorade commercials, and GQ ads.

Cam does.

When a person seeks the lime light,or the lime light seeks the person, its glare burns sometimes.

Cam's getting burned now. We will find out a lot about him in Atlanta and this season.

I hope he comes out and beats the living hell out of Atlanta; but, that's hope, not probability.
