After all that went on Thursday and NFL doing nothing.

Just watched Tyrod Taylor get blasted in the helmet here in the 3rd in a close game after Bills make a come back.

No flag and the Official pulled Taylor out of the game.  Setting up a 3 and out with the backup QB. Guess NFL just proved if you can't stop the QB just nail him in the head. Now wonder if this will work with Brees, Rogers, and Brady

luckily Taylor is back in.

so much for the NFL player safety smh

Riddle me this. Why aren't running backs pulled out for the protocol after they have helmet to contact which happens on many plays. I guess only quarterbacks get concussions.   Am I right????

Shady took a shot going out of bounds that was similar to Cam's head shot.

Defensive players should have to sit out as long as the qb does with a helmet to helmet hit. If the qb doesn't return neither does that player 

That makes perfect sense. If it was helmet to helmet then the defensive player was hit in the head too. If the protocol is preventative and regardless of symptoms, then they should both be checked out. Unless your size influences if you get a concussion rather than looking at it as a combined forces issue.

Helmet to helmet hits are  back in the NFL. Use them to win. I guarantee you the SB champion will be a head shotting SoB when the game is on the line.

How many players can you remove from the game with the concussion protocol? They sure will not flag them.

Anyone who believes the NFL cares about player safety is fooling themselves. I do not care about any off field program if the NFL fails to enforce it on the field and keep the teams honest. Awarding teams advantages and wins for using head shots while improving the technology of helmets is flat out stupid.

Nah man, the same rule applies like a head butt in the movies. It doesn't hurt the guy that does it, only the one it's being done to. Ha

The hits didn't look like a Launch hit like the Steward and Marshall more like the one from Von Miller.  But as much as they pump player safety.  And they don't flag a high hit like they would Brady and Brees. It won't keep players from holding back not thinking twice about making a head shot that could take someone out.

So you thought those hits should have been flagged?  I really didnt see anything wrong with them at all.  I didnt think they were high hits.  I thought Taylor lowered his head like a running back and the defense tackled him like they should have.  I didnt think Von should have been penalized either.  I would hate for one of our guys to be flagged for any plays like Von's or the ones from last night.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
