Cams Attitude

[JawnyBlaze]

To compare Cam's attitude the last couple years to a fiery Tom Brady, Steve Smith, Big Ben, etc isn't even the same topic.

 

Considering Cam himself has been very vocal this year about wanting to change the way he had been reacting to tough situations it is blind homerism to think that he didn't have some maturing to do. I'll give him this, I really think he has turned the corner this year and put all that behind him and people will see that but to say his attitude has always been fine when he and his teammates acknowledge it has been an issue is just sticking your head in the sand.  

 

Didn't want to quote the whole block, but I think most of us are referring to the celebrations part.  Most rational people will acknowledge that the "Mr. Mopeyhead" stuff needed to go.  I didn't see it as a BIG deal, and I don't think that Smitty, Kalil or Gross were saying it was a big deal, but it was something that needed to change.

 

The poo that really gets my blood boiling are the comments from idiots about "celebrating when his team is getting blown out" or "towel on the head" (though that falls under the sulking column, it's not actually accurate...) or "celebrating every first down he runs for" or "entertainer and icon" type stuff.  All that is absolute garbage and is at least a sign of complete ignorance.  Otherwise it's just trolling, which is even worse than ignorance.

lmao

 blah, blah, fuggin blah.

 

Attitude is about perception.  One mans asshole is another mans hero and vice versa.  As much as I love Steve, he actually fights his teammates, opponents hell maybe even the coaches. But we love him for it. Why?

 

Tom Brady is a dick. An arrogant, self centered, entitled little bitch. But, the public loves him. Why?

 

Tom has won nothing since he was bestowed with all this praise, yet he is still loved? Why? Because no matter how much of an asshole he is, his organization sticks up for him and he doesn't piss off the media.

 

Steve Smith same thing.  He could walk up and punch someone in the mouth. Be completely in the wrong, and the huddle would fall on its sword to cover for him. Why? Because the media has not sullied his name because he gives them interviews and makes them money.

 

 

 

And P.S.  Tom Brady was cheating during the game. Honestly, did noone else see that?

How was Brady cheating?

And yes we even create a double standard here. 89 simply is given a pass or his poo is spun....when others would be blasted for it by the collective fanbase.

I think Cam has looked like a strong leader and has shown great character so far this season.

Not sure what this thread is even about.

Lol. I am almost 100% sure that is not cheating.

What was it? What it was....matters.

WRs wear sticky gloves. QBs even put on sticky gloves on in rain. Not sure he was cheating

It was "stickum", not sure if its illegal for QBs though.

Eta: Nope, its banned.

I was in Northern PA during this game, basically out of touch with society, and could see this. Even having a conversation with several people when I got back where I had to explain the circumstance.

some people are just going to ignore that little piece of information to build up this fabricated story that Cam needs an attitude adjustment.

I don't know about most people, but anyone who has ever played any form of a sport in the last 5-15 years would go to war with that cat and knows exactly why. That is, if they haven't lost touch with their competitive spirit.

The more jaded people get to sports, who mostly read articles and never watch a game, become a little more neurotic in their opinions.. That is unless they are a complete homer for their college team and then they just become laughable.

It's like the crucifixion of Johnny Manziel after the Rice game. No one took into account the tweet a Rice play put out saying what was actually going on in the convo between him and Manziel that led to taunting. I also doubt he was taunting with his signature signing and was more likely making this to explain something to a familiar face who played for another school, in TEXAS. They spin everything though and are masters of appealing to the feeble minded.

football is an emotional game...for every minute a player is pissed on the sideline, Cam is pissed for 20!

he celebrates touchdowns like he's won the superbowl during games that he is getting demolished.

great athlete but in my honest opinion...fix the brain and attitude first!

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on Arian Foster as a player?

Are you sure it was stickum?

[therealmjl]

If it was Stickum, Brady should have shared with his receivers.
