Idnk why this board hates Cam so much. Other than him being a punk in the Super Bowl in hindsight he wasn't a bad QB. Compared to Ryan Leaf, Tim Tebow, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Johnny Manziel, Tim Couch (or Eric..I forget), Danny Weurffel....Cam was pretty damn good.
I'll sum it up with one word: InauthenticI'll take this one:
1. His mannerisms when he's winning vs the sulky little biz natch he is when he's losing
2. The outfits...the freaking outfits, you just lost an important game...don't come to the press conference like you're trying to play big bird in a live action adaptation of Sesame street
3. Inability to humble yourself, "show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser" - there's more to being a good loser than just accepting you lost.
4. Delusion - "they couldn't handle my aura"...nah they couldn't handle paying you to have a rookie outpace you in grasping the system
5. The freaking outfits...stop coming out looking like you're trying to transition to an old black lady named Ethel.
That applies to both his on-field and personal persona! Off the field, he tries to portray himself as this likable/approachable guy that has a bit of an eccentric streak, when in reality, he is the sulking whiny lil * we see on any given Sunday.
His play reflects that as well. His favorite thing to do as a rusher is to skirt the sidelines until a defender launches to make a tackle, he would then step out of bounds in a bs attempt to draw a flag. Lame.
