Decent Article On The Cam Situation


SuperMan

Recommended Posts

Not that I'm saying I believed the cartoon was necessarily racist, but in that article Whitlock seemed to ignore the fact that the reason some people think it's racist is because Cam looks white in it. He seemed to dismiss it because the only reason it was supposedly "racist" was because it was critical of a black QB.

To be fair, the picture of the cartoon on the article is in black and white. Maybe he ignored it because the only picture he's seen of it is that one, and not the color one with the questionable skin hue.

Honestly I had not even noticed that it is a black and white cartoon after all.

Honestly when you make the kind of money they do, no one is above criticism.

Interesting article. who thought it was racist on here besides kt? i really just think it is in bad taste to clown your 23 year old, second year franchise qb 3 games into the season. was there ever any cartoons of jake delhomme having complete meltdowns on the field?

Pretty much just KT this was directed at him.

As for Dellhome more is expected out of Cam, he was the #1 pick and he had a fabulous rookie season, I for one agree with you I think Cam will be fine when he matures a bit, I do however give him some slack because he is young.

Interesting point, and yet practically everyone on this board and media did the exact same thing to Clausen in the first three games of his FIRST season.

Granted, Cam has alot more weapons and TONS more potential, but still remains that the folks around here threw Clausen into the trash pile practically from the start, so it doesnt surprise me than many do the same thing to Cam now.

so you're trolling him or stirring the pot? if not, wouldn't a private message have sufficed? or is it important to get this discussion going all over again in a new thread?

nvm....have fun with your thread.

You had the option to not post in it, instead you obliged and stuck your nose in.

And if you must know I like the article the fact that it contradicted KT was just a bonus.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
