Cam getting a concussion was his fault

lol that's false. You're crazy if you think Cam has played his best football and it's behind him. He hasn't even began to peak yet. 

Like I said, I'll eat crow if I'm wrong and I'll do it gladly. I just don't see him getting any better or matching   last year. I've always thought, even at Auburn, that Cam played lazy at times and the play in question and the lack of a fumble recovery attempt in the SB are prime examples of that.

Cam may be a lot of things, but I've never seen lazy. I've seen frustrated and a piss poor attitude but never lazy. He's 27. Constantly working on his mechanics, decision making, an OC to challenge and help expand his game. Cam hasn't even started hitting the ceiling.

I don't mean to imply he is lazy in preparation because I don't believe he is, but I think he plays with less than 100% effort on occasion.....lazy plays, not complete lazy games. I think he let up on that play where he got the concussion and took a hit he didn't need to. I agree he can reach a higher ceiling, but I don't think any changes will be made to our staff to help. RR thinks it's lack of execution and not coaching. Once a change is made Cam will be in his 10th or 11th year.

I can agree with you here. Hoping that the change is made before that. I mentioned Megatron earlier and how he wasted talent with no real opportunities in Detroit. I would hate to see Cam go out like that, but I do think he can really dominate. He needs a better staff. I think Shula was good for him while in that learning curve but now is the time for Cam to really grow his game.

I'm curious as to what you would have him to do. You think he alter his position in a way that would both cause him to affect his angle and give the runner a better path to reach the ball over the goal line?

I don't believe he went for his head. He was trying to stop him at the line and didn't have enough time to square up. But It's a dangerous hit nonetheless and we should be condemning tackles like that every time intentional or not. We're only talking about how Cam should have avoided it and not how the LB shouldn't have done it in the first place.

No question he can grow with changes, but I would be shocked if any are made over the next 2 years. Sadly I believe part of the team has lost confidence in management and to some degree game plan. I hope I'm wrong.

Well I agree with that. I've said that since last night. They don't trust or have confidence in coaches or management. It shows big time. I don't think there's a problem between players, the disconnect is with coaches and management. They're all going through the motions.

Its hilarious that you think that a 6-1 man coming in low can hit a 6-5 man's head with his head without launching himself at it.

No, no, no... perfectly natural motion.  All accidental, I'm sure.

I have no idea whether or not that is true.  However, using that play as an example makes it appear that you are paranoid in your protection of Newton.

Is that the word of the day for you?  Paranoid is the best you got...... 

That play is indicative of all the headshot hits he has taken so far this year.  Minimum of 5 head shots with only one penalty (offsetting at that)

Typical Millennial.  Spouting off the mouth with their miniscule post count.

Why exactly should the LB not have done it?

Guy risked major injury to try and make a near impossible stop. If that was the only tackle he could make from that angle then it wasn't worth it. We shouldn't encourage trying to make the play at all costs.

Cam was clearly too nonchalant about it and I'm sure the LB was still seeing red after being taunted. Both were boneheaded and they're lucky that only one of their brains got rocked on that stupid play.

      Never, and it doesn't have to be an old grizzled vet, sometimes a vet can learn something from a young player too.   Do you not see players talking to each other between plays, quarters, on the bench, wherever, in EVERY sport? It's what players do, especially the great ones, they're always working on their craft and learning tips from others to better themselves.   So when your entire receiving room outside of one player, who has mostly played special teams in his career, has played 1 season or less in the NFL, it's not a lot of experience there in the locker room and on the sideline and is a tad concerning in regards to the proper growth of all these young WRs with great potential.

      So me "putting my foot down" would be me spending more money each season to watch the games without sound at the bar? Do you not see how dumb that sounds? Streaming a game here or there isn't tough, but doing it for 17 games a season, when more than half the time the quality is terrible if it's even working at all, and it's just an awful experience to follow your favorite team. It's literally spending at minimum an extra $100 a season to have a worse viewing experience if I were to "put my foot down" as you say, and then don't get to also be able to easily watch all my fantasy players as a bonus on top. I spent at over a dozen years going to the bar every Sunday to watch us play, so now that I get to watch from the comfort of my couch, plus get all the other games, and spend less money doing so, yea, I'm going to pay that money without a second thought, it's a great deal for me and tons of other fans.

      I wanted Stroud as well because Reich only wanted folks who fit his scheme and he isn't a good enough coach to adapt to his players. Canales didn't have that choice and was hired knowing that his job was developing Bryce. To his credit he was able to embrace the challenge and make the necessary changes.
