Pictures of players on the bench

The controversial Cam bench body language.

But lets look at the rest, shall we?

Now, lets look at other QB's on the bench when losing.

Matt Schaub

Peyton Manning

Tom Brady

Brett Favre

LMBO at Peyton's face....Yeah, those QBs all looked like they were being quite mature and cheering up their team....

It does scream HYPOCRISY..doesn't it.

It's more than the towel over his head thing, it's Cams inability to be a leader.

I can't help but recall the Panthers losing to the Patriots, as Jake sat there on the bench watching that field goal go in! He sat there and watched the team loose because you win as a team and you loose as a team.

I have yet to see Cam going over to the offensive line as the game is falling apart, telling them that "things will be better" and to "keep pounding", when anybody on that line wants to give up. All I ever see is Cam happy when he's winning and sad when he isn't. Cam needs to be the quarterback and emotional leader of the Carolina Panthers, through thick and thin.

Is it too much to ask Cam to do that? Maybe he isn't ready. Maybe he will be someday? Maybe he will never be? Fact is, some quarterbacks lack leadership but few that lack leadership, make great quarterbacks.

That is what Steve was getting on Cam about. Cam is the face of the Carolina Panthers franchise and there he was Thursday night, in primetime, when the rest of the team was struggling, tossing a towel over his face, closing his eyes and trying to pretend ALL of it never happened! BUT it did happen and 52 other players took it like men.

It's silly comments like this that gives fodder to our media and have them spend endless hours critizing Cam over nothing.

So you now want Cam to be the happy go lucky cheerleader for this team along with his many other job? BTW..what is the responsibilities of your Captains? Did see you mentioning any

[footballisasport]

So Jake is a leader because he sat on the bench & watched the team lose but Cam isn't a leader because he sat there on the bench & watched the team lose?

Please stop making sense. Doesn't seem to be working much on this site with some folks.

The irony is that our backup QB Derek Anderson was crucified years ago for smiling too much after a blowout loss. Now out starter sulks too much. If they could go to couples therapy and find a happy median I think we'd be in business.

LMAO. Remember back in the day, when the board used to go apeshit because Pep used to smile on the sideline during loses?

Jesus christ

Thanks for fixing it for me

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

point well taken

[Delhommey]

We'll never truly know if Cam will react as well and as passionately as Jake until he has a 6 turnover game.

Waiving your hands around and making an "Aw Shucks" face while single handedly destroying your team's season is what counts when you want to be a true leader.

Like I said before, everyone is allowed to "sulk" except for Cam.

[far far away]

Personally I don't mind the media firestorm. Let them doubt us. Let them doubt Cam. They're just loading his mental chamber.

Per LaFell on WFNZ this morning...Cam spends time with Schula and other coaches after each series before putting on the towel to get his mind right for the next series.

But, but, but Peter King says he's sulking?

[Kettle]

I kinda thought he was. The cameras don't look at the bench very much though so I'll take Brandon's word for it.

[unicar15]

He needs to not sit by himself and he needs to lead a huddle for the offense every once in a while instead of looking pouty. Peyton, Brady, and Brees were caught in one pic but the majority of the time they are really proactive on the sidelines.

Maybe that's because they are normally winning, or at least in a close game. Cam is very interactive also when we aren't getting blown out.

I think it has more to do with the situation than their individual personalities.
