Will provide recap after the segment. I'm sure it will be the typical, misinformed, Cam thrashing that ESPN loves to dish out. Hopefully they have someone on to talk about it with at least a little knowledge of the situation at hand this season. 

 

Tune in now! 

 

UPDATE: 

 

  • Mentioned Gettleman's comments (of course)

 

  • Chris Mortensen mentions how Dave Gettleman just reiterated what Cam said earlier in the week. It is time to win. 

 

  • Says if he were playing for the 49ers, that they still would have made the Superbowl.

 

  • Mortensen says they are not moving on from Newton and that there is no reason to be sour towards Cam Newton. Talked about how they won 5 of their last 6 games this season.

 

  • Agreed that Cam Newton did have the best first two years of any QB coming into the league from a statistical standpoint. 

 

  • Mentioned how Gettleman came from New York where Eli has won Superbowls but struggled as of late. Hinted that winning cures all and that it would apply to Cam as well. 

 

Whole segment probably lasted about 1-2 minutes at the most. Thought it might be more and they would make a big deal out of it. Overall Mortensen just said what we all already know and it was a typical fluff piece.

I was actually pleasantly surprised that Mortenson kept it accurate and didn't twist Gettlemans words into something they weren't. Espn has a habit of Cam bashing, and I was certain that's what I was going to see. Thanks for the heads up Maine.

It sounds like only Mort did.

Will the segment replay in the next hour?

 

Exactly. 

 

One "reporter" does (clarify). Meanwhile, various other ESPN "broadcasters/personalities" and segments, interpret and sensationalize it as they see fit. 

 

The non-story, should have never been reported--the way it was earlier-- on ESPN in the first place.

Yep. ESPN has a few Cam supporters (Dilfer, K. Johnson, Schlereth, C. Carter, etc) but they are usually outnumbered by those who desire to criticize him, or stir up nonsense.

 Keyshawn was a huge Cam supporter.  So much he thought we were Super Bowl bound before the season started.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.

      Clearly the best outcome for us is a Giants W. A spot or two difference in the 4th round is inconsequential. Just look at the trade value charts. A spot or two at the top of the 1st means a LOT. A spot or two in the mid-rounds? Virtually nothing.

      Agree. I don't think I have ever heard him say anything positive, at any time, about the Panthers. Best expectation is no mention at all.
