Yup. Russ is a man like that. An English gentleman, in fact. They are totally weird but they do exactly what they say and expect their friends to follow. Russell means business and to him awards are nice but championships are the whole point. And you don't win championships in the modern NFL by yourself.SeaToTheHawks":191xbxn9 said:FearTheBlitz":191xbxn9 said:Wilson is on the cam is mvp train... Here is the story if you don't believe me.

I didn't read the article, but just knowing Russ of course he's going to say that.

Yep, Cam can certainly learn some things from Wilson about humility.

Cam absolutely respects the game. It's only his antics make it look like he doesn't. He's worked his ass off to become a legit NFL QB. As far as respecting opponents, he expresses that by preparing for them. On the field, such expressions of respect for opponents... well, not so much. No time to fit them in between dancing and strutting.

You are giving faux superman waaaaayyyy too much credit. He isn't that bright.carolinablue":ir1hzpu4 said:Cam has got to be the most successful troll in all the universe. He'd make a GREAT professional wrestler.
Part of any sport is mental. You've heard it said that this player has "mental" toughness or that player doesn't. Part of being mentally tough is not letting your emotions get the best of you. Play with controlled aggression. You see this in almost every sport. Fear and anger are probably two of the most hardest emotions to control. Some would say that the Minnesota kicker missed that FG because he was afraid of it getting blocked (Sherman was an inch away from blocking the last one). Anger caused the Cinncinatti Bengals to implode on that last drive and lose the game. Whatever Burfict and Pacman may be, they're not mentally tough.
Be careful when playing the Panthers because Cam will troll you hard and maybe even make you write letters to the editor fearing for the future of your children.
They already have an award for that...it's called the Super Bowl MVP. MVP for the regular season is different. People define MVP differently but to me it's the one player that makes other's around him better. Cam does that. Wilson does that. Kuechly does that. Brady does that. A lot of players do that. It's subjective in the end as all awards are but I would argue that Cam has made this Carolina team better than they otherwise should have been. If we had Derek Anderson as our starting QB we wouldn't be 15-1. I love Anderson and think he's a fine QB and he could probably start for a number of teams right now and have success...but he's no Cam. People like to say that Cam has redefined the QB position but I don't believe that. Nobody can do what Cam has done as efficiently as he's done it. Sure Steve Young had the same amount of games with a rushing and passing touchdown. But it took him 15 years to do it. It took Cam 5. Granted Cam started from day one and Young didn't.Largent80":usrogmv3 said:He's had his best year, but to me MVP should be decided on who wins in the playoffs and ultimately the SB for the QB position.

Jim Kelly? LOL. Really?Largent80":2q5ernfj said:Cam isn't any different than Jim Kelley. Kelley made it to the SB 4 times and never won one, and is not in a conversation about MVP.

You get to the end zone, in an NFL game, you get the right to celebrate. You’ve worked hard. You’re a professional athlete. If you don’t get a chance to celebrate in the pros, when do you get a chance to celebrate? When do you get to show what you can do – to enjoy yourself?
This is a game. Some people who have never played it, who have never expressed passion, sit behind desks all day and do that. Maybe you celebrate sometimes when you do something great, and nobody judges you, because nobody is watching. As you’re watching him, enjoy it, because he is enjoying it. He can enjoy his craft. If he wants to celebrate, that’s fine.
No, he's not, go watch him pout with a towel over his head when things are not going his way.carolinablue":3kxg4mo6 said:Or is he?Sports Hernia":3kxg4mo6 said:You are giving faux superman waaaaayyyy too much credit.
