Think about what a guy like Patrick Peterson could've done at CB back in the 70s and 80s when DBs could maul WRs. You basically have a small LB who moves like a CB and he can just manhandle the poo out of your WRs. Good luck with that.

By popular demand of the thread participants, this is back in the Panthers forum. We all know what comes next, but what the people want the people get.

I don't think the defenses are worse, I just think they're significantly handicapped by today's rules vs. the rules of years past.

The casual fan wants to watch high flying, high scoring games. The NFL isn't dumb. They do market research. They know this. They see which games draw the biggest ratings and generate the most buzz. As long as the casual fan wants high flying, high scoring games the NFL will continue to tweak the rules to encourage that style of football. It is what it is.

Hey, if you guys want it back over there I'll do it. But don't report any posts and don't complain when it inevitably turns turns into a poo show. Whatya say? Yay or nay?

Feel whatever you want. I just get tired of watching the trolls berate Cam but evidently y'all love it. Weird, but hey... whatever.

Bingo.

That's the thing, it's his website. Funny how y'all want this left in the main forum where you absolutely know it would soon turn into an utter poo show and flame war that would then have y'all begging for the mods to clean this place up. Moving it here actually gives it a chance to remain a productive conversation without the inevitable troll fest which was honestly my primary reason for moving it. But whiners gonna whine.

It's the regular season. We've always shifted to keeping the Panthers forum Panthers only during the regular season (I should add with the one notable exception of active game day threads for other NFL games going on) after treating it as a football catch-all in the off-season. You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger Cam fan than me but this isn't a Panthers topic, hence why it's not in the Panthers sub-forum. I left a link so that people participating in the thread could find it and wouldn't think it got deleted.

6'3" 214 and he'll likely add another 10 pounds or so over the next year or two. Meanwhile

The casual fan wants to see high flying high scoring football. They want to see Pac12 score in the NFL and those are the fans that ultimately drive viewership and revenue.

I'd settle for it simply to be called fairly. Every flag in the refs' pockets would've been laying on the field if the roles were reversed on that play and that's just straight up handicapping the defense.

The Bucs would've won by a comfortable margin without the turnover issues. The Cowboys won the turnover battle 4-1 and still lost. That's hard to pull off. Your odds of losing an NFL game when you're +3 in the turnover margin are probably in the single digits.

You gotta be a masochist to want to play CB in today's game. Breathe in a receiver and flags litter the field. Be in perfect position to defend a pass and get two hand shoved to the turf and the entire football world celebrates Brady's greatness. Those are some hard to swallow pills right there.

Yeah it was, but it's Brady.

All over but the crying now.

Gronk is comically slow these days but the guy just keeps making plays.

That's a big penalty forced to use the timeout to avoid the runoff.

Except for tonight leading up to that kick.

I think that kicker just fixed his confidence issues.

I think Darnold is gonna see a lot of that with Paradise and Elflein out there.

I hate to say it, but Vea and Suh are gonna commit criminal acts on our interior OL.

That's a crucial fumble. The Bucs should be rolling right now but have repeatedly shot themselves in the dick with turnovers.

Damn. Even when Brady makes a flailing old man move it still somehow works out.

Who's playing deep FS then? Because I don't trust anyone on the roster to cover over the top of our young CBs against these Wars and Beads.
