Cam left to hang dry when things don't go our way. Where's the attitude and meanness?

Fox007 made a good ass point and this definitely needs its own thread

Cam takes the cheap shots, late hits, hits to the helmet. He gets abused and what am I seeing from the other players? Nothing. 2013 team wasn't going to have that. Look at our team then vs now. We don't have any players you KNOW not the mess with or you will get your ass beat (Smitty, Hardy). That nastiness and meanness is not there. We may have some good tough players, but it's not the same. It's not what Denver has. Teams play dirty against us, PLAY DIRTY BACK ( in before but this team went to the SB (and LOST), they didnt )

Post-game, Cam is left to hang dry too. I don't see in any press conferences from Ron telling the NFL to go fug themselves for letting Cam get illegally hit. Somebody on this team needs to say something and make it LOUD and CLEAR. I didnt hear anybody tell the media to go kiss Cam ass for Cam answering a few questions with a hoodie on and leaving after losing the damn Superbowl

This occurred to me in the offseason and I agree. It absolutely manifested tonight. Smitty, Norman,  would have never stood for that kind of dirty crap, but we've slowly filtered those players away. KB is really the only one I could see stepping up to take that void and I hope he does.

Panthers were a big part in the rule changes over the off season. Its obvious and we saw it in the pre season with Cam. They are trying to cut down on the show boating and we are the target, when you see a flag thrown for Trai jumping up and down on a TD you know something is up. We may not being able to show that enthusiasm like we were able to last year even when we are getting screwed. Its gonna be like playing in a bottle all season.

Just like that 2013 Niners playoff game...  A play or two into the game, one of our guys chest bumped a Niner and we were called for a personal foul.  A play or two later, Boldin headbutted a guy and the ref stood there and watched before breaking them up without a flag.  It sets a precedent and sends a message.  They called Trai early to take our edge off...  keep us from getting too comfortable or asserting ourselves physically, in a physical game, lol.

I also like how Shane Ray hit Cam then got up and taunted him, which was much more demonstrative and "in your face" than Trai's, but that wasn't a penalty.

Ron is too stoic for my tastes at times.  I think he tries to placate more than stir the pot, but I agree.  

Smitty might have murdered someone on Denver tonight.  

Literally.

 

Probably true about Ron. He's from a military family. Stoic and by the book.

Not that it's a bad thing 

And not that they're all like that.

Say what you want about Bruce Arians, but he would be at that podium absolutely ripping the NFL, refs, and media a new one had Palmer been headhunted like that. Hell, just look how he stood up for Campbell when he get cut at the knees by a RB.

Hell - they'd have started ejecting defenders long before Palmer got hit in the head 6 times anyway.  They throw around personal fouls for accidental slaps to the head area of most QBs.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
