The refs just don't like Cam..

Play before the interception,  was a blatant horse collar tackle..  I mean do they treat or see him in a different light because he's mobile? 

I just don't get it, why doesn't he get the calls he should... I was watching the Skins and Vagiants game back and forth and Eli got an obvious call. Shot to his legs. Immediately I think... Had this been Cam. Nah, we're good, no call needed. :/

Any player on the field should have gotten the horse collar call. 

The League specifically changed the rul this year:

"

When the NFL adopted a rule against horse-collar tackles, they made it against the rules for a player to tackle an opponent other than a quarterback in the pocket by pulling him down with a grab inside the shoulder pads from behind.

That rule will be a bit different in the 2016 season. The league approved a proposed rule change from the Competition Committee on Tuesday that will make it illegal when a “defender grabs the jersey at the name plate or above and pulls a runner toward the ground.”

This ish is seriously pissing me off.

I thought the same thing but after looking at it again, he didn't have his hand under Cam's collar.  I think it has to be a hand under the collar to be a horse collar.

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
