'11 TX ATH Cam McDaniel (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

[Bogtrotter07]

I have to reply (even though it probably furthers the silliness of the thread).

You're assuming that people who don't project Cam as a major contributor/starter/2-deep player are somehow "disrespecting" him or that we can't see his character. I think we all LOVE Cam. He's clearly a hard worker and has some skills. It's not disrespectful on a Notre Dame football board to try to offer an honest assessment of a player's skills. That doesn't mean we're right, but it also doesn't mean we're slighting him.

Your logical leap is this: If you think others on the team are more talented or better than Cam, you're disrespecting him. I would argue that disrespect looks a whole lot different than, "I don't think he's good enough to start in this backfield because we have so much talent there."

It's possible that he'll be a huge contributor, even a featured back. I'd be delighted for that to happen. I'd like the best RBs to get the bulk of the time. If that's him, wonderful! I'm just trying to talk about football.

Time will tell on all of this.

Actually, you are reading everything from "You're" to "Time will tell on all of this", into what I am saying.

I don't know if Cam will be good. I don't know if he will get a shot. All I am saying is based upon what I have seen of his attitude, selflessness, work ethic, and camaraderie, I would give him a shot. Sometimes giving that team guy, the one who isn't the top talent pays off. And I think that people that decry him, me for thinking he is okay, or anyone else who does, isn't.

You are a fine respectful poster, but if you look back at this thread, you can see who is respectful and who is not.

Saw this over the weekend. I move to permanently refer to Cam as Run CMC. Any opposed?

I second. The motion passes.

I've always been partial to C McDiesel.

 

[Ironman8]

Is Run CMC or Run CMD more appropriate?

 

[Redbar]

Run CMD.

 

[rocket66]

Our current best overall back. I like it!

We're evoking Run-D.M.C. here, no? It's got to be the former then.

What's the attraction of the latter? His initials aren't CMD.

 

[IrishLion]

I'm on board with Run CMD, but I think CMC may be too far in the works to change things.

Cam Mc Daniel

Cam Mc Daniel

OH! Mc is his middle name. That explains it.

I've never met anyone who initializes his name that way.

If you're a fan of programming it's attractive.

CMD is a anagram of DMC, in addition to the noted Mc D. Obviously Mc is not his middle name, but several individuals I know with a Mc surname note the Mc than the first letter in nicknames and the like.

I retract my objection then. As mentioned previously, I've never seen an Irish name initialized that way, so it strikes me as unnatural and forced. But it seems I'm the outlier here.

Carry on.

This thread is going places!

What'd Bogs get banned for?

 

[woolybug25]

I thought Bogs was on a self imposed break like LA?

Can one of you mods opine?

Jason asked LA and Bogs to take a self-imposed leave of absence until the season starts. Both agreed, which is how they avoided temporary bans. Bogs apparently signed back into the site a few nights ago, and is now banned until the bye week as a result. I suspect LA will receive a similar ban if and when he logs in prematurely.

Fair. Thanks for the clarification.

[ACamp1900]

wow, really?? LOL.. all could have been avoided if only they would just have used their damn PMs to bitch at each other... too bad... I really appreciate one of them all the time and the other all of the time half the time...

anyway...

I am very interested to see how RB develops this year and Cam will be a part of the development at the least...

put in work young man...

 

[LoveThee]

Thanks for the clarification Whiskey. Its a shame when people can't put their personal problems aside and just stick to football
