Luck vs Broncos and why he gets the call

With all the talk this season about how Cam doesn't get calls that other qb's get, I found it interesting that Luck gets a flag thrown yesterday against the same Broncos who assaulted Cam. 

Luck was running with the ball, went into the slide and a Bronco( pretty sure it was one that got fined) tapped his head with a forearm. Ref throws the flag and Colts get 15 yards. 

The hits on Cam were much more violent, Luck barely got touched yet he gets the call. What say you guys.

I was actually surprised that they didn't call a penalty on the Vikings when they hit Aaron Rodgers when he scored his rushing TD...

Maybe people hate running QBs because it's so hard to defend. But na honestly half that poo is racism and the other half is incompetent refs and the other half is gotta keep the game close in hype games and the other half is sometimes it's biased based on a number of factors and thats enough halfs to get the point.

Viking safety Andrew Sendejo got flagged for hitting Rodgers late in the endzone after he scrambled for a TD yesterday. Wonder if the refs will be that protective of Cam this Sunday against the Vikes.

Not gonna hold my breath

Sendejo wasn't flagged - the OL who retaliated was.

Then the refs are just incompetent and should be labeled as hazardous working conditions the players have to deal with. Sendejo launched himself off his feet and helmet-first into Rodgers, yet he didn't get flagged? Wow

Defenses apparently are allowed to basically launch themselves into a QB in their "running posture"

    • 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.
    • 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
