All week I read articles about how Cam was being vilified because of his race. I found it to be a fascinating discussion and one with merit.
It also was a narrative that did not tell the entire story.
It turns out that some people hate Cam because of racial bias against African-American quarterback.
Most, however, dislike him because he pouts, throws temper tantrums and is sorely lacking in leadership at the one position where it is a must. Sunday was a disaster, one that could possible cement his legacy unless he does a complete 180 regarding how he carries himself in the remainder of his career.
This. People crucified Ryan Mallet when he sulked on the sideline after being pulled for Brian Hoyer in that Thursday night game earlier in the year. People dislike selfish 'me" guys. Cam acted like a child last night. It's not just a problem to people because he's black. The public generally tend to dislike self absorbed people.
That's all garbage. We like our smiley cheery QBs so much we act like it's wrong when they don't behave as such. He lost. He was upset. He acted like a guy that lost.
Mallett should be upset he gets pulled.
If either of these QBs weren't upset then that would be a problem.
All these people this morning...such hypocrites. How many people in America play sports? You gonna tell you were all smiley, tipping your hat "good game sir" after each game? Cmon. Some of the time, most of the time you can be all cordial and "they beat us, good game, they were the better team" after the game, but who doesn't get upset sometimes?
Manners are important. They should make a good impression upon everyone, sure, so should everyone all the time. Who does that though?
The people that claim Cam and some defensive guys let kids down by not behaving right...if your kid's good behavior is tied to whether a 250-300 pound beast that knocks people senseless for a living behaves, yeah that guy is the problem.
This is so overblown this morning. Newsflash, Cam is a person that's imperfect
