If I am San Fran or any team

I realize that Cam Newton is the key cog in Carolina beating us.  Defensively it may take awhile to adjust to really being good because frankly McD is going to have to scheme around our DE and DB situation (and that won't happen overnight)

so if I am San Fran...I tell my D to see where the refs draw the line on Cam.   I expect them to really go after Cam Sunday.  Then back off of only when the refs make them.  Keep pushing the envelope until it isn't worth it. 

I still don't think refs view Cam as a guy that will get "tradtional" position protection after all this.

That's why the Panthers D will have to return the favor, I don't care if we injure cpl of player a game long as it's the opposing team getting the punishment.

Here's the thing, not every team plays dirty like that. Everyone has known the key to beating the Panthers is limiting Cam. They just haven't figured out how to do it. I doubt coaches are saying go hit him in the head. The Broncos really didn't leak a blueprint or expose anything. They can't beat Cam fair and square is what they proved. Again, even with the dirty hits and missed calls, Carolina almost won that game. Gano missed a field goal. There aren't many teams like Denver. They're good and dirty.

I agree with you but we do play a couple of teams this year that have less than stellar records for playing clean.

Rams and NO? 

I just don't think they've figured out how to beat Cam without trying to take his knees out or head off. I believe we will be fine. I don't think a 15-1 record but we will be fine.

the bronco's leaked the blue print to beating the panthers. keep in mind we haven't played a team besides Denver for 7 months. 

It's a great blueprint if you have top level talent in the secondary and the pass rush. Most teams don't have that, pretty much no other team has their level.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
