First off, let me say that I'm not the biggest Cam fan in the world. To question his commitment over something like him hesitating to not jump on a fumble is bullshite. He has put himself on the line countless times this season, including going up in the air to get into the endzone, which is one of the more dangerous things you can do as a QB

I'm also sure this has been beat to death on this board by now but I'm just snapping out of my yearly Mardi Gras bender, so cut me some slack

Of course he would do that. Scoring a TD is a "me" moment - a chance to strut and do the Superman routine.

Grunt work like jumping into the pile to recover your own fumble? Yeah, not so much.

I'd consider myself a Cam fan, and questioning his commitment to HIS craft would be dumb, but this certainly should make you question his commitment to his team.

Cam puts in 110% effort into Cam. I can live with that when he's also going all out for his team, but that one play defines everything the haters say about Cam, and he can only blame himself for that.

Honestly, Sunday was the perfect opportunity for Cam to prove the doubters wrong. The MVP already discounted those who questioned his talent. Taking the loss with dignity and poise would have won over more fans that a win would have done. It should have been a moment Cam could point to and show how much he had grown up and matured. Instead it is know Exhibit A in support of Cam being a frontrunner.

As a fan, it was wholly disappointing.
