Does cam get treated differently?

[fieldcorporal]

I was sitting in the bar tonight eating wings, drinking dogfish 60 min, watching the Dak highlights from last night on NFL network.

all is well with the world....

then the next segment is cam. I look up and he is whining and wondering if he is being treated differently from all other QBs.

Well, hell yes.

Wipe that ****-eating grin off your face, and stop dressing like a pimp and maybe you won't get treated differently.

17 cam and the rented mule he rode in on. Watch Dak's interviews and learn from the rookie.


and Shug Jordan too.

I'm sure it will be unpopular but I actually kinda agree with him although I don't think he should have made such a big deal out of it. It puts a target on him.

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

I agree DCD. He admits when he's out of the pocket the hits he takes is one thing, but the hits he takes in the pocket are just ridiculous compared to other QBs.

How he dresses has nothing to do with that.

 

[JungRebel]

He can be a jackass and people want to hit him hard for that (and rightfully so), but he gets no benefit of the doubt in the pocket and the numbers from the last two years back that up.

 

[fieldcorporal]

I understand all that, but it has nothing to do with my (slightly) irrational hatred of all things aubrun.

17'em. 17 cam.

and the more I drink the more irrational I get.

and shug Jordan too.

Bigger QBs don't get the calls like other QBs. Big Ben is a good example, but you don't see him acting like a ***** about it. Cam's mobility also is going to make him take more hits. It's just the nature of his game.

 

[KurtRambis4]

He might

but it's not for reasons that he or the media will have you believe, or try to spin it.

 

[Chesusdog]

Cam feels like he is getting targeted with cheap shots. He probably is, and he deserves every one of them.

I havent paid much attention but....

Cam isn't the only big mobile QB in the league. So if he is getting popped more often there is an underlying reason for it. The NFL is made up of humans. Players, coaches, administrators, even the game officials. Like all humans they are susceptible to influence. They have likes, dislikes etc. They see Newton strutting around, preening like a peacock, acting like a jackass every other play pretending he's superman and as a result I think players really want to lay one on him nor does he get the benefit of the doubt as often from the officials. Plus, his ability to flip plays with his legs tends to make him perceived more like a running back. He is also a whiner and pouter when things don't go his way which is not very endearing. I see no conspiracy or organized vendetta against him but yeah he probably does get more shots than the average guy and it is at least partially his own fault.

You don't see other professional QBs (Brady, Brees, etc.) show their *** and dance and do the little superman **** after they score or make a big play. Celebrate sure. Go all 'me, me, me, me' and you get what's eventually coming to you. Yeah, if I was a defender, I'd go out of my way to smack him around. Act the part, get the benefit of the calls. Act like a dubmass, keep getting the 'business'.

 

[The Peeper]

Why, yes, yes he does, because he IS different. That Superman ********, towel waving, hiding his head under the towel when he's losing, end zone dancing, and finally the Sweet Potato Queen looking outfit he wore Sunday all make him different. You don't like being treated like an ***, quit being one or don't BE different if you don't want to be treated different

 

[Shamoan]

reading between the lines and based on what he has said in the past, he thinks its because he is black. he has taken something like 300 more hits than the next closest qb in the same time span, but he is a big running qb. i hate that cheating sob, but the refs have missed some calls on him. same could be said for alex smith who was apparently concussed twice last week with no flags. he has a small point, but knowing cam, he thinks its a race issue. thats the only thing he isnt saying at this point.

 

[JungRebel]

Why wait for him to say it if you already know he's thinking it?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

^^This.^^

 

[Xenomorph]

Don't know bout NFL, but in college he was definitely paid better than most.

 

[Shamoan]

its way more fun to speculate.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

Hes getting everything he has coming his way

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

He can go 17 himself. I hope they do treat him differently and it has nothing to do with him spurning us. He's just a piece of ****.

every time I see that gif he looks higher than a Georgia pine.

 

[J-Dawg]

He brings it on himself with his cockiness, showboating and "me, me, me" attitude.
