Man, I think Cam does add a lot of value and I’ve met him (he’s a nice guy)? but overall I agree with Ph. He’s acting like a normal young, drunk & passionate fan, but given his position he can’t really do that.
More than his takes, I find the delivery of them to be pretty unconvincing. Eg. an evidence-based article talking about Hartman / comparing him to previous QBs would probably be interesting. His tweets (which can be pretty arrogant / snide) don’t really accomplish much. Also given Les (who I also like) has had his own occasional interpersonal… struggles, not sure he’s gonna get the best mentorship there.
I’ll admit my posting style was probably pretty similar 15 years ago. But I also had the privilege of being a nobody on a message board.

Snagged via Tapatalk.Does someone have a screen shot of the tweet?
Cam thinks he knows A LOT more about football then he actually does and chooses the oddest hills to die on (i.e. Hartman the "worst Wake QB in decades", the jump circle defending of any criticisms of Lyle Hemphill in '20 and '21, etc.).
But on the whole he brings some decent insight and has some good recruiting contacts (or at least he did prior last Saturday).
And the insider reporting on 247 blows away anything ogboards.com has attempted to provide in the past or present.
Speaking of insider reporting... whatever happened to the green SuperUsers???
Which isn't much, we've never made any sorts of promises or guarantees about insider reporting. We're a message boards/forum run entirely by fans, for fans, and upkeep/hosting paid for entirely by donations from those fans (without any pesky ads, or shady as fuck subscription practices). You're comparing apples and oranges by even bringing this shit up. Our primary reason for existence is for fans to be able to discuss WFU sports and build a sense of community, they are primarily a "reporting" org with an awful generic message board experience tacked on. You won't find any magically hidden threads here only for "VIPs" to read and post on. That's such walled garden bullshit.
Also Cam's take, lol. Makes me think he's just super young or only started watching WFU in the last 5 years. Riley had some incredible stinkers of his own, Newman had off days that completely took us out of games too, not even going to try and argue for Tanner P being a better QB than Hartman, that'd be laughable.
