There is a difference between confidence and awareness of ones position and being an arrogant a-hole. You don't need to be humble to not be an a-hole


I agree, but I will say this...

The *one* genuflection that can be fairly made to the humility alter is to not take all the "credit" upon yourself. To share it with your teammates.

And Cam does that ALL THE TIME. He rarely toots his own horn ( ), always willingly giving the credit to other players on his offense and to the defense.

You don't have to show humility/be humble to give proper credit though is what I meant. Accepting/acknowledging you are the most important piece is not mutually exclusive with acknowledging that there are other important pieces too


If Cam gave Nick Fairley some credit for 2010, that isn't being "humble" but honest/accurate. If he said Nick Fairley was the most important that would be "humble" and probably dishonest.
