Was a freshman with guys like CeeDee Lamb and Rambo in front of him. Rotated with the 2 other 5 star WRs. Tore his ACL training this summer. Should be healthy for a RS Sophomore season... I dont think transferring was ever on his mind.
No way. After the comments he said while getting his hair cut(?) why would any Georgia fan, player or coach want him in a uga Jersey? I wish him the best and hate he got hurt. He’s fine where he is though
agree with much of your post. His worst "on the field" thing, to me, was failing to try and fall on a fumble in the SB when it was right in front of him. Didn't want to get hurt was what he said. Meh.
Dont lump me in with the common assumption of why people “Hate Cam”. None of what you said is an issue I have with Newton. Nor do I think he has poor character. Kudos on him giving some back to the community.
My criticism is how his celebrity and attitude affects HIMSELF. Not just the dancing and the pouting.
He could have been SO MUCH MORE in the NFL without the distraction he placed at his own feet. I’m not saying “Cams a bad guy”. I’m saying cam could have been SO MUCH better. I’m certainly not the only one who believes he didn’t reach all of his potential due to his attitude.
What honestly could have been better though? Dude legit carried a franchise that never gave him WRs, OL help, and the RBs stayed on IR. When he got a coach to work on his throwing he got hurt. He's also a MVP and one tough SOB (considering how even when he slides he gets hit no flag). Look I understand him pouting... Im a Packers fan and ARod pouts but can you blame them? They carry franchises that leave them out to die because they have generational talent so its okay in the front office doesnt help them (dont get me started ranting cause ugh Rodgers will be playing with WRs tonight that are off the street smh).
So yeah a guy who is big in communites in GA (and NC) its very great he's involved with the youth with the whole 7 on 7 as well. Thats a leader man.
Not diving on that football. Okay he didnt give the best effort there @donmedeiros but he's still a great role model and player was my only thing.
I don’t get why everyone feels the need to call Haselwood a diva. His biggest knock, if any, was that he was overly transparent in his recruitment. He let people know how he felt and once he started leaning away from Georgia people got their feelings hurt.
Who’s the diva in that scenario? Give the kid a break. If I were a wideout with his talent I would probably rather play in OU’s offense too as opposed to UGA’s at that time. What were we selling? A bunch of blocking and 3 targets a game at most? He also wanted to get out of this area for personal reasons I believe. I can’t knock the guy for choosing another school and the ‘barbershop comments’ add up to a whole bunch of nothing. He seemed like a likable guy on the DawgNation interviews and I hope he does well.
Move on.
Sold him on a lie. Sold him playing for a coach that left. Sold him on airing the ball out more. I think he wanted to actually play for UGA I think he left because what he was being sold wasnt seen on the field (and probably the Fields fiasco after the LSU showing).
There's this anger when guys dont choose UGA which I never understood. Its a business. Its like if I play certain positions theres schools I look at.
I get it. I think there’s sour grapes from what was said on his little Barber shop podcast that can’t really be taken back. He talked down about the coaches and also had something to say after each uga loss. I’m going for the kid but he’s a friendly villain going forward. Uga didn’t work and we ended up trading for Pickens, pretty much.
Also I don’t think JH would’ve punched a GT nerd. We need someone who will punch a GT nerd lol
I dislike Rodgers a LOT more than Cam. Rodgers is an absolute D-bag.
He really isnt. I actually met him though. Dudes honestly very chill and thinks very outside the box. Maybe I just like that cause Im similar.
It’s just how people carry themselves. That’s all we can see. Body language means a lot, how you publicly react means a lot, public comments mean a lot. Maybe he is fantastic in private. I wouldn’t know.
He didnt bash the coaching staff. It was fully directed to Chaney and then Chaney left. I know guys say sign to the school not the staff but Chaney sold the guy on some things. He called him a used car salesman and said they demand his loyalty and then he left. I dont remember him dissing but I remember him neither being rose colored glasses or being a debbie downer. I think like alot of recruits he wanted to see what Fields can do but that never happened.
Have you seen him this year? Hes smiling, happy, etc. I could care less about his body language or anything... He was frustrated. Dude has been the best QB in the NFL and has 2 losing seasons. I believe having emotion is great. His comments where needed imagine how frustrating it isnto be a once in a era talent and McCarthy is your HC and your franchise was a win away from the super bowl and instead of helping the offense they draft a QB (hes 3rd string), a RB (he 4th string), and a TE (he's 4th string) in the first three rounds.
But he has taken the high road alot. That report last year was bad and he just let it go.
