How about a common sense rule change?

If a personal foul happens concurrent with another foul by the opposing team, why not have the personal foul negate the other foul? I know it makes too much sense, but isn't safety important?

It actually does in most cases. Intentional grounding is just not one of those cases because it carries a loss of down penalty. Illegal motion or holding wouldn't have offset the personal foul.

My thing is ... The refs don't know if Cam is gonna run.

First if you cant tell if he is trying to pass or if its a run play, you shouldn't be an NFL ref.

Second ... a QB should be protected as a passer behind the line of scrimmage, until he commits by tucking the ball as runners do. 

simple common sense rules to me

how about you call the personal fouls the way they are supposed to be and then you don't wind up with guys turning themselves into projectile missiles by the 4th?  case closed.  

fug those refs and fug the entire broncos defensive unit from the coordinator right down to the guy that brings them water in practice.  that is not how you play defense.

Exactly! If they had called the first one that happened in the first half then the rest probably would not have happened. By not calling it the refs gave the Broncos approval to keep doing it all game long.

it doesn't matter if he is running, skipping, doing jumping jacks.  if a player leads with the crown it is supposed to be 15 regardless of whether they hit the helmet, the chest, anywhere.  that is the rules.

keep hearing this stuff about being a runner, blah, blah, blah by folks that don't know the rule. most of the hits in question were when cam was passing,  but even if he is running the rules still protect him from idiots who "tackle" recklessly and dangerously.

      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.
