Seein how good a player like Cam has been over the years its easy to forget he wasn't spectacular from the start.

Yeah. That's become a major pet peeve of mine. The impatience that some have with young players is a product of this "gotta have it now" way of thinking. Some of these younger players haven't even completely finished developing physically.
