re: Cam totally failed on the biggest stage of his career

After thorough review of the fumble gif Ive changed my mind. I don't think Cam pussed out but I think rather he was too close to the ball to dive. Once he had a better angle on it he dove in there and tried to get it back.

He was running toward the loose football, he realized he was too close to it when (you can see his lead foot is right next to the ball when he planted it), hopped to his left and dropped into the pile to go after the ball.

If he was afraid why run toward the lose ball to begin with?

We are used to most players hurling themselves towards lose balls and takes but I don't think that is a QB's instinct so I can see why Cam would be more particular about where he dove on the ball.

For the record Im not a Panthers or Cam fan. Just trying to make the right call.
