If Cam realizes TG is the starter.... why all the whooee... why tell Lemon it's an open competition... when clearly... as you stated.... it's not...
While I agree all players come in and compete... he spoke about equal reps.. he spoke about best guy for the job... all whooee...
Cam is creating a distraction that doesn't need to exist.... on a team that doesn't need anymore distractions... leading the NFL in off season arrests...
Cam needs to own up and say... TG's my guy.. it's why he's here... he gives this team the best chance to win... and go to work...
And if TG isn't that guy.. why did Cam push Mueller so hard to get him here early... when we could have waited for him to be cut... it's an honest question...
let's see...he told Lemon it's an open competition, and clearly, from Lemon's comments, he's taking it seriously:
''I believe I have a chance and I believe it's an open competition,'' Lemon said. ``That's what Cam Cameron has said and I believe in coach. He says it's an open competition and that's how I'm attacking this training camp.''
So, as you see, Lemon is quite aware that Green is the guy to beat for the job, doesn't feel like the coaches comments slighted or mislead him in any way....but, somehow, you know what's going on....impressive for a shoe salesman like yourself.
If you had listened to Cam's press conference, specifically when a reporter asked him about what he'd do if a veteran didn't show up for the pre-camp, you'd understand the 'why' and 'how' of the seemingly open competition at the position. He's a QB coach, and a proven one at that...he's always done things a certain way, and if giving the QBs equal reps during practice or preseason games is his way of getting the most out of the QBs on his roster then I think the guy has paid enough dues to go so far outside the box as to *gasp* LET THEM PLAY ON AN EQUAL PLAYING GROUND. If you want to label it as "whooee", or another one of your lame catch phrases then be my guest, you'll still be as wrong as you ever have in regards to this team and football in general.
As far as Cam creating a distraction with this, well, Cam could sneeze and you'd label it as a team distraction...I mean, would an open competition at QB effect the chemistry amongst the CBs, LBs, DL or OL? You would think it would, at least, affect the chemistry amongst the other QBs, but the person it affects the most, Cleo, is totally fine with it, even appreciative of the opportunity. I don't know, maybe Gibran Hamden is secretly filing another grievance with the NFLPA?
as well as any sort of perspective or logic when it comes to this football team. I mean, how much of a distraction is an open competition at QB, however legit it is, compared to Gus slamming Saban on his way out for not being truthful regarding his status on the team and his contract, forcing Nick to swear on his kid's name that Gus was misinformed?
How about Nick not eating dinner with the president, or how he made Manny Wright cry, or how he berated Jason Allen for waving to his girlfriend in the stands during a preseason game? Were those "distractions", too?
Your takes against this current regime are flat-out insulting to the intelligent, free-thinking Miami fans...CHECK
