One big silver lining will come from last night's officiating disaster

Officials are really going to overcorrect for Cam for at least the next few weeks if not the whole season. If a Niner so much as breathes on Cam in 9 days, they're going to throw the flag. Now we could probably beat the Niners with Joe Webb playing QB and I doubt any Niner gets much pressure on Cam anyway, but just watch. Refs have a long history of overcorrecting worse than Gano's second field goal try to win the game last night when they have egg on their faces.

Yeah cam has taken bad beatings and last year not even one personal foul called in his favor.. why change it now??

The hits hadn't happened in a massively watched nationally televised game like this before. Everyone is talking about the no-call killshots in the media today.

Because last year it wasn't on national tv in the only game that has been played done to the reigning league MVP by the defending Super Bowl champions and therefore has dominated headlines for 24 hours.

That said, I doubt anything is done becauseits ultimately the officials who are at fault and they get every excuse imaginable said for them.

Sad it took a national game to even talk about this now..

Yeah, that's what I've been telling myself - starting out 0-1 and having Cam take a beating will be worth it in the long run IF it means he gets fair protection from the refs moving forward.  I'm not at all convinced that will actually happen though.

I am glad though that it happened on primetime national TV and the media has really jumped on it and not just the sports media.  This is getting pretty widespread attention and they're really taking the NFL to task for their hypocrisy.  If anything is going to get Cam fair treatment, this is it.  If it doesn't happen after this, it'll never happen.

It's insane to me that we're having to hope and beg that our MVP QB actually gets protection from the NFL after watching guys like Manning, Brees, and Brady get coddled for years.  If those guys simply take a hard hit, it's a penalty.  It doesn't have to be technically illegal, if they just plain take a hard, legal hit there's a good chance a flag will fly.

I'm not absolutely convinced we can count on that.

I sure as hell ain't convinced.

They've been allowing him to take a beating for 27 straight games now with no calls, why should they all of a sudden think they're wrong now?

The NFL gave us their "Oops!" today by deigning to allow us to know that, yes, Brandon Marshall's hit was cheap as fug.  They may think that's plenty.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
