Ya, thanks for the video. They literally tapped helmets. Are you serious right now? U honestly think they didnt call those questionable penalties because Cam is black? You are a lost cause.

Where did I say that is the sole reason?  LOL.

Him being black is a contributing factor, but not the sole reason.  You are building your own strawman while involuntarily confirming the real underlying issues at work.

So, when Mike Vick was allowed to be hit multiple times after touching the sideline, I'm guessing that was because he was a giant too?  And go look at the thread containing the .gif of all the helmet shots.  NOT ONE OF THEM was a "glancing" shot.  I recall our team getting a 15-yarder within the last couple of years against New Orleans for slapping the QB's head with an open hand.

And LOL @ that Lebron comparison.  IDK how much basketball you watch, but check out a game where Lebron is playing against some mid-market team in October and tell me he struggles to get calls.  He was 15th out of 440+ players in the league in free throws attempted.  See, the difference is, the NBA respects and protects its stars because they realize how valuable they are to their game and product.

Like they did with Shaq?

I haven't played football because I showed you legitimate proof that Cam received more than glancing blows to the head

You need to regroup and try something different with your next post

You choose the one childish part of my post to continue your worthless argument. 

What about the rest of the post.

No, if you have been in pads and have played football I think you would agree that those first two plays are not serious.  When the NFL first started flagging BS incidental helmet contact everyone was outraged that incidental contact would alter the outcome of a game. Now pansies like you are flying out of the woodwork crying racism. Good for you bro.

I've gotten multiple concussions from playing football so I have a decent understanding of what can occur from what you called "glancing blows"

Perception is everything buddy...

Shaq ranks 4th all-time in free throw attempts.  NBA refs couldn't shoot them for him, sadly.  And this is a sore spot for me, as I lost $20 on that Sacramento/LA series where LA shot a record amount of FTs in the 4th qtr because of the NBA "protecting" their stars.  I have to say, the league is a lot more transparent and appears less "fixed" under Silver than they were under Stern.

The OP is claiming the elephant in the room is that the NFL doesn't like Cam because he is black.....

My argument is thus:

You said the only illegal hit was flagged. It was not. The NFL rules dictate that ANY helmet-to-helmet hit is illegal and should come with a 15-yard penalty. Two cases of such by the same player would result, under the new rules, as an ejection. I showed you a gif of each hit that wasn't flagged. Helmets hit. Gene Steratore must've gotten a bonus for getting Cam hurt. He did not, however, uphold the rules as they are written. The fact that you've continued to blatantly ignore that is kind of mind-blowing.

I guess you didnt read anything I posted. My argument is that by the letter or the rulebook, yes they should be penalized. However, similar to LeBron, Cams unhuman athleticism the refs are choosing not to flag borderline/incidental helmet contact. You argue like a 14 year old girl. Throw out some discussion instead of trying to throw out sweet disses.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
