I'm watching First Take and they're making a huge deal out of this. am I the only one not seeing the big fuss? They were asking him questions about his health and contract and he didn't wanna answer, so he did the same shyt a ton of other atheltes do when they don't feel like answering.

EDIT: And while I understand the suspicion, I don't think Cam meant anything by calling him Donkey Kong Suh. It's probably just a combination of that dude being big, strong, and having a first name that sounds like Donkey Kong.

Its weird, because I dint care for him coming out, then gained respect for him watching him play, but watching this makes me wonder if he's matured the way I thought he had. I'd be embarrassed if my starting QB pulled this with the media. Give me bland ass QB's at the podium all day.

Queue the "you can't trust his smile" crowd...

And if I'm Cam, I'd be pissed to...

Out of all the first round pics from that draft none of them have done more to help their team than Cam has...and he hasn't gotten paid yet?

His best wide receiver...might be a rookie? Carolina was about one more receiver away from being a "great" team, and then they let the franchise receiver walk?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cam some where else next year at all...

Other players have done this before if they didn't want to get into it with the media at a press conference, it's not a matter of immaturity :comeon:

Exactly. Like one should legitimately be scared of the media because a qb stands outside the bland at the podium category. Let's all manufacture the maturity angle because of it and allow it to have us worry about his maturity on the field.

It's so phony

Why is that?

Because it's phony, corny & takes away from the team. Why would you want your star QB making comments about the other team's star defensive player like this? It wasn't even done in a way that was defensible Cam legit sounded mentally retarded. These comments make him look like an idiot. Is that what you want out of your QB?

I want my QB to move the chains and not turn the ball over....I could really care less about anything else...

He's got every reason to want his money, just like JJ Watt did, etc. It's just not the preffered way Id be going about it if I was a star QB,
Why is that?
:yeshrug:It's just how I feel about it. Has nothing to do with anything bigger...the QB is the face of the franchise, so I prefer the face of my franchise to be bland.
