But, in fairness, we should point out that @ReillyRick was the first to report it on Twitter, whether it was right or not.

he's on point with this one...

I think Cam's an easy target for people who made up their mind about him years ago. RT @pfish68: what's Ur take on the whole thing

people made up their minds about him early and they want nothing more than to be proven right and will take any opening they have to prove it.

he's far from perfect and has quite a ways to grow, but he's got what it takes to succeed and has proven people wrong in many regards...being lazy, unintelligent, not being able to do what he did in college in the pros, poor work ethic, thug...the list has gone on and people hated how good he was last year and have been quite happy to see him fail this year so they could beat their chest in the closet and then walk out with a little concerned but smug look on their face saying, "i knew this guy wasn't going to cut it".

The things that players are saying about Cam (according to Zod and a few others) are not unlike what was said about Peppers early in his career in Charlotte. Pep was by no means a bad guy. He just wasn't one of the guys. Sounds like Cam is the same way. Like Pep, Cam probably has high profile friends in other sports and other entertainment venues. Pep would much rather hang out with Carmelo Anthony than Brentson Buckner. He got close to Rucker and Minter later, but he was never everyone's favorite teammate. On Caravan trips during the spring, Pep would sit by himself at the front of the bus while his teammates all sat in the back. I don't think it was because he was unliked. I think he just made enough money that he wanted to do his own thing and knew that he could do it because the PR guys would have his back.

Cam is an easy fun target....

Rick Reily could walk down the panther sideline in warms ups.....and a ball could bounce in front of him. He would quickly tweet out Cam tried to murder him. People would believe.

Then random posters would claim they knew a guy that knew a guy that meet Armanti's Edwards 4th cousin and that they knew for a fact Cam hates everyone.

In reality Cam could still be in the lockerroom and a ball boy could of literally just dropped one from two feet away.
