    It didn't paint Heyward in a particularly good light. He raises the issue one year removed from signing his extension, does another hold-in, then comes away with a an incentive or two that aren't likely to be reached.

    I like Cam, but it made him seem petty or not that bright. He and his agent easily could've negotiated those incentives last year. Instead, he waits a year and disrupts training camp/preseason again for what amounted in the end to be virtually nothing.

    I have no problem with players getting their money. But how you go about it counts for something as well.

    He needed some content for his podcast and manufactured a pretend beef.

    Your leader has to be the guy who doesn't let his emotions get the best of him, because that's what everyone else follows. He pretty much admitted that he let his emotions take him out of the game. If there is any chance to regain this team, Tomlin should at his PC tomorrow tell us all that he told Heyward that as a leader he can't do that, and that he was out of line for allowing himself to be taken out of the game like that.

    Certainly true as an impact player.

    Don't know if he is still holding up against the run. He may be. In which case, I'd want him back at a lower number because our DL depth isn't what I think we'd like it to be (as seen yesterday without Harmon).

    I don't think he'll take another pay cut. But I also think he wants another all-pro because he really wants to get into the HoF. And while I don't think it's likely, he might also think he can get to 100 sacks if he plays one more year (currently at 90).

    The whole team is washed like you said or just average players. Our running backs are average at best. IMO Warren is just ok and Gainwell is a little better to me. DK is well DK. Out tight ends are nonexistent. The O-line is average at best and the defense is overpaid and awful. If we were finally going to open the checkbook this year then go get legit players not old past their prime players. We’ll be paying some of them for a little bit. I don’t know their contracts off the top of my head. We went from 4-1 and looking like the AFC North was ours to playing terrible football. Although, we didn’t play that good to get to 4-1. A lot of the teams imploded themselves handing us good chances to win the game. We are getting worse every game IMO.

    Black was getting trucked the entire game. And Benton did a disappearing act. DL again in the draft. Playing 2 down linemen against one of the best running teams seems like a poor plan to me.

    TJ needed a dollar more then Garrett, He got a Mill. This is all Art II. One helmet guy is playing like he has half a helmet.

    The only good thing about Twinkies Cam is he gets nothing unless they make the playoffs and win one. So really he held in for nothing. Great leader:lolol:

    Pickens is thriving because they opened up the route tree. Yea yea he has CD Lamb on the other side but still he is burning it up. Has more yards then all the receivers combined on this offense. Metcalf and Pickens could have been a force. But that would take some actual innovation in which this offensive scheme is archaic.

    Yes they need that extra secondary player on the field while getting historically gashed over and over...

    I said before last season he was probably washed and we should get rid of him. Turns out I was wrong, but father time is unbeaten. I would rather get rid of a guy a year early then a year late. So sure, I was wrong because he played better than I expected, but I still stand by what I said. Teams have to think of players as investments. Sell high and buy low whenever possible. I'm all for loyalty in rare exceptions (Troy or Ward), but that doesn't apply to Heyward. They wouldn't have gotten much for him, but maybe something. Now he's worth nothing and has hurt us on the field this year.

    Since Cam isn't going to get his hold in money he has signed up to be a spokes person. Commercials are starting as we speak.

    Not a good mark to have on a career Cam. Not a good look the same. I truly dont see anything that happened here.


    Either this occured on the previously in the game or Cam is lying out of his ass.
