Yet, he can't cuss out his teammates when they start screwing up, pointing fingers at defenders that mocked him, b****** for flags every play and disrespectfully calling out opposing players in post game conferences in condescending manners the way that Brady does. That part is reserved for QBs like Tom Brady. 


He can't birade his teammates because they dropped a pass or his line for missing a block, while selfishly wanting to throw every damned play, while taking any and every endorsement known to man to plaster himself on tv, and even calling his kicker 'Liquored Up', or throwing his entire offensive line under the bus after a playoff loss. That part is reserved for QBs like Peyton Manning.

He can't stand on a float, sipping Martinis, backing a coach who oversaw a 'hit' program on opposing players, running up scores just for the sake of tackling the record books, and completely turning down any resemblance of a hometown discount. That part is reserved for QBs like Drew Brees.

He can't jester around the field putting a Championship belt around his waist, jump around after scores like he's Mario from the NES, have to be separated from his HC on the sideline and get caught on film, completely blowing off an elderly lady fighting cancer who just wanted his autograph before he got on a flight. That part is reserved for QBs like Aaron Rodgers. And we can't even blame Rodgers for that. Oh no, he probably had to catch that flight. That plane was about to take to the sky in ten seconds. He didn't have time to stop and write one name (She was the only person around that approached him) on the hat of an elderly lady.

He can't openly buck his OC, because he didn't want the previous one to leave, openly call out his WRs on radio shows and embellish every injury he's ever had. No. That part is reserved for QBs like Ben Roethlisberger.

Actually he can do all those things...and more.

And if I don't like him it is because he plays for a team other than the one I root for.  Not because hes black.

But he thinks America has never seen a QB like him it is his ego that make me like him less.  Just like Brady.  But brady is white.  

Cam had the opportunity to say it doesn't matter why some people don't like him or his celebrations.  Instead he fell back on it being because he's black.  And, again, while I'd be the first to say there is plenty of racism alive and well in America...this is still sports.  We can dislike a guy who plays well for another team for LOTS of reasons.
