Cam get's slammed and teabagged on a sack, "Cam's a big boy, he can take it".

 

Breesus get's taken down by a midget useing everything he has for leverage, "OMG, Breesus was body slammed, the NFL has to protect the QB, here Brees free points and the game".

imagine if someone suplex-slammed Peyton Manning or Tom Brady like that. There would be riots across the country

i didn't think it was a penalty when i saw it live, but on replay i thought it was clearly a penalty. Didn't matter anyway, the Saints had the game comfortably in-hand the whole game. But they should have beat the Vikings much more than they did in their home opener. Saints look like a 9-7 team to me. Bridgewater looked pretty solid for a rookie in his 3rd Week of the NFL

Slow motion made it look worse than it was. In real time with audio you can see that play wasn't blown dead, and Captain was just doing the only the he could to get Brees to the ground. Captain being small used all his weight to pull Brees back, and since the whistle wasn't blown he finished to the ground. Even if you consider Captain's sack excessive you have Brees getting away with after the play aggressive actions that on other players would have been a penalty. I think at worst it should have been offsetting penalties.

Brees is such a pussy.

Brees is a weakling like Peyton and Brady. Part of what makes those three so great going against the monsters in the NFL. Same with Luke who just got run over by Bell then slapped down to the ground easily a play or two after that on national TV with the camera right on him. Everybody likes the David over the Goliath, unless the Goliath is very skilled in his own right (Cam, etc)

Also, when it comes to the weaklings, Manning's neck went out and was let go. Brees' shoulder went out and was let go. Brady was lost for the season with a torn ACL and the NFL introduced the Brady Rule as a result. Rodgers went down last season with his brittle collar bone getting fractured. Of those 4, the only one not to miss a game due to his injury was Brees.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
