We're all clueless when it comes to roughing the passer

What I don't get is how the refs can call an intentional grounding while also throwing a flag for a shot to the head/personal foul.

When a QB gets hit while simultaneously throwing a ball and the ball doesn't get back to the original line of scrimmage or in the area of a receiver, it is deemed incomplete.

Why shouldn't the same apply when you are throwing and getting speared in the head with a helmet???

The refs like to conveniently forget rules when it comes to things that would get them booed by a jacked up crowd, or help the panthers or try and protect the league mvp, or when it's time to just do the right thing period.

Well, honestly, spearing is illegal regardless of the person carrying the ball...so step one is making sure the NFL begins to enforce the rules that are currently on the books.

Is spearing to the head an ejectable offense?

Or am I just getting the college game confused with the NFL?

Fug the NFL; Sign Hardy.

Would be the ultimate poetic justice.  After being allowed to play in week 1 helping us win a game with a backup QB after Cam was injured against the cheating Patriots, he is released after this week 1 debacle.

It also bothers me that the fact that Cam attempted to get rid of the ball to avoid a fifth and final blow to the head was penalized equally with the hit to the head. 

Exactly...a blow to the head should not be offset by an intentional grounding.  I get that the officials made the correct call by offsetting those two, but in reality the blow to the head is far worse and should be penalized to some degree regardless of whether there is another flag.  No one ever suffered serious injury from intentional grounding.

That honestly should be penalized the same way a post play foul would. They should have assessed the grounding and then marked off 15 yards for the foul. That is a compromise, but damn it to hell, pull that piss yellow hank out for christs sake.

I mean, shame on us for not responding in kind.  At the end of the day, regardless of rules, if a kid is trying to take your lunch money, you fight him.  If that's what you have to do, then do it.  Play the game the refs are allowing at that point in time.  Force them to make calls.  We sat idly by and got punched in the mouth.  This is professional football, and when guys jobs are on the line, you do what you have to do.  I'm sick to my stomach over the hits Cam took last night, and it all went undisciplined, whether by the refs, our players, or NFL execs.    

If we could have gotten to their QB, we may have done that.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
