The only real issue with Cam was NOT DIVING ON A LOOSE BALL.

He's has more real issues than that, both on and off the field. When he receives even a little pressure, his passes are unusually errant. Way below average for QBs. All year he's had all the time in the world to sit back in the pocket and survey the field. It won't always be that way.

Also his attitude. Did you see his postgame interview? Sulking and standoff-ish. Like a child. Then he bolted in the middle of it. And he's not rookie anymore, so that's no excuse anymore. 5 years in the league now.

I’ve watched every single NFL game Dan Marino played in and he never once did what Cam did.

Hate to ask this, Rome, but as one FReeper to another...

Just *how* much have you had to drink tonight?

Super Bowl 50 was the Broncos vs. the Panthers.

Not a sea animal in sight....

That play will now define him.

Like Donovan McNabb puking in 2004.

I guess the Denver defense didn’t get the memo that they were supposed to be askeered of a black quarterback.

Not a drop, I know the fish weren’t in this one, just not used to seeing a team in the SB play like them:)

Sorry, Superman, Vonn Miller and DeMarcus Ware must have been wearing uniforms made of kryptonite.

Karma for what he did in Gainesville.

Actually, I'd call it a Slick Willie weaslin' rationalization worthy of a Clinton campaign.

Agreed
Plus his position requires winning the mental game. He’s a loser in that respect

Very rational points, but instinct and desire make a great football player.
I believe even the aged Manning would have gone for that ball in that situation.

I didn’t see what Cam did, but I saw Marino stand over a ball he’d just fumbled. He stood there and waited for someone else to cover it.

I also remember Marino trying to join some concussion lawsuit a couple of years ago, and I considered that ridiculous because he took so few hits. He withdrew from the suit a short time afterward.

What was that about? I didn't hear it.

I take it you guys are not familiar with the term "Pyrrhic victory".

Look it up, it is something to be avoided.

So much for shucking and jiving after each play.

There was another play where his running back reversed field and came back to the other sideline.

Newton was standing there, and I said aloud, “C’mon Cam get out in front of him and block.”

Newton’s a big QB, and I’m sure he could have made a difference for his guy working in a broken field.

The Denver defensive line gave him a little trouble too.
