Adam Schein's potshot on Cam/Rivera exposed, again

[top dawg]

Here is a piece via Cat Crave by fan, Anthony Dunn.  Some of you may be interested in reading the fairly long, if not colorful piece.  It is par for the course, but is worth the read if you enjoy a good and justified piling on. Check out some excerpts:

 

 

 

He further makes some scant observations about NFC South preseason acquisitions to conclude that the Panthers have the division’s most talentless roster. Interestingly, Schein points to the Revis trade from the Jets to the Bucs and a vague reference to the Falcons 2012 success as the only support for his evaluation of NFC talent. To be fair, he does halfway congratulate Gettleman’s first Panther draft and chock him and Kuechly up as the organization’s only strengths.

 

 

This is where Schein shows he views the Panthers and the NFC South only as they relate to the NY sports market. A healthy Revis will certainly pose problems for Panther receivers. It is still not certain that he will be the shutdown corner he was a few years ago after consecutive injury ridden seasons. Cherry picking two familiar NY names does not amount to strong analysis, but rather carpetbagger commentary. Taking a line from Schein himself, “I don’t believe he is an elite, upper-echelon” sports analyst. Schein’s shock journalism and shallow assessment of the NFC South is not enough “to eradicate and/or mask areas of deficiency.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Schein’s first premise that Newton is immature and lacks leadership ability is his ace in the hole. Cam’s confidence often translates into cockiness, and his painful postgame press conferences often eclipse his electrifying freshman and sophomore NFL campaigns. I will be first to say that it is just downright wrong to see a big, beautiful, black man with freaky athletic ability, whining, sulking, and fighting back tears like a ten year old kid who just struck out to lose a little league game. Perhaps this is why that Play 60 commercial of the little kid trash talking Cam is so funny.

There are limits to this argument, however. Schein overplayed his hand and tipped his bandwagon mentality by catapulting RGIII and Luck to a class beyond Cam’s. Oh how quickly does he forget arguably the greatest rookie year of all time. RGIII and Luck are great talents no doubt. But they haven’t demonstrated anything, nor have they had the chance in just one year, that suggests that they will outclass Newton. Don’t forget – Cam had a lockout-shortened training camp coming in during his rookie season while Luck and RGIII both benefit of a full training camp last season.

i thought about posting that article too...agree with pretty much everything he wrote.

People are actually still worried about this?

What do guys like Adam Schein want? Recognition of any kind. You hand it to him on a silver platter.

I hardly call someone turning your own words and---in a sense---logic against you as recognition. No one is or was ever worried in my opinion, just responding (rightly or wrongly) to bullshit.  At this point, it's about entertainment and killing time.

If you really want to make an impression.  Post something like that done by a non Panther related site.

I talked to Gil Brandt about Schein's article, and he said point blank that Adam was a broadcaster and not a talent evaluator, and if Cam was not a franchise quarterback than such a thing did not exist. He said he was disappointed to hear that an associate made such stupid comments and he would bring it up the next time they talked.

Gil Brandt and Cosell are my favorites, they know what's up.. And where did you talk to Brandt?

Good information actually.

Called into Late Hits, his show on Sirius XM while I was waiting for a midnight Star Trek showing.

I told you people we should start a twitter brigade to call people out on this shiit.  They could have quoted that Schein got 500 tweets in less than an hour calling his ass out....

 

 

 

 

 

Give me 5 minutes with Schein alone...that is all I want.

[L-TownCat]

At this point I would like to make a unique statement that should be a surprise to us all...

Schein is a douche bag

It was fun; cool effects, some humor, lots of action and an interesting villain, but I'm pretty much the target audience so your mileage may vary.

Newton needs to shine in the big moment and win the big game on the big stage.  Until he does, this is what will be focused on.

 

Meaning, unti he stops giving them the ammunition to play the same old script because it's easier, that's what they will do.

 

Shots against him are a bit virulent; but remember what as said about both Mannnings'.  Media was not exactly kind to either.  Now, it goes the other way in praise for Peyton.
