Do you take that to heart? “No.”Ĭan you put a finger on why Carolina didn’t play the way it normally plays? “Got outplayed.” Ron said Denver two years ago had a tough time and they bounced back. What’s your message to Panthers fans? “We’ll be back.” It was infamously short, so I‘ll include every question and answer: Here’s a transcript of the entire press conference. NFL players are expected to act professionally and exemplify sportsmanship by “losing gracefully.”īut before we talk about the press conference, let’s look at Cam a few minutes after losing to the Broncos. This is normal in the NFL and it’s part of the job. Less than 30 minutes after being humbled by the Broncos, Cam and his teammates were asked to sit in front of reporters and answer questions about the loss. If you have read headlines and stories published by the national media, you probably believe Cam walked out because he was tired of the questions from reporters. While Cam is receiving deserved criticism for his play on the field (and his apparent lackluster effort when he had the chance to dive on a fumble in the 4th quarter), most people know he’s not the only person to blame for the loss.īut it’s his postgame press conference that is receiving the most criticism. Cam plays with raw emotion whether it’s celebrating, dancing, giving footballs to kids, collapsing on the sideline, screaming at his coaches, yelling at his teammates, congratulating his teammates, taunting opposing fans, and dabbing.
