I guess I just don't agree with you on this one. 

And I'm glad you're a big deal "A-Lister" on this website. Congrats to you dude. 

It's not much of an accomplishment with posters like you running around.

Sounds like he's just in here to pick fights with anyone that disagrees with him

I know, I'm just the worst because I don't agree with you.

Cam has no one to blame for that hit yesterday, but himself.

[Salisburysean98]

Cam wasn't paying the fug attention when he got to the goal line. He didn't even see the guy coming. It was his fault, gotta protect yourself at least. If you're gonna run in this league you better have your head on a swivel. Cam didn't do that.

I have to say that I don't see a penalty there either. Cam thought he had an easy score and relaxed and the defender tried to do what he is paid to do which is stop cam. It is unfortunate but part of the game.

the book is pretty much out on him that to take him out of his rhythm, you go hard and you go high. 

even with a QB like Ben Roethlisberger, who can seemingly absorb like at least one 9/11 attack a game's worth of hits, people aren't intentionally going for his head.

Because Cam runs so much, he technically becomes "a runner" and teams are tee'ing off at his head. 

If he's going to survive, he's going to have to change the way he runs, because the refs aren't protecting him. 

Yesterday's goal line was another great example. Yeah, Cam shouldn't have cadillac'd in, and maybe the defender didn't use the crown of the helmet or whatever excuse the announcers were giving him, but he left his feet. that's the definition of an illegal hit. ref looking right at it, and nothing.

cam is still a dynamic QB if you're not using him in fullback leads or whatever. like i've never once seen a play action rollout. Ever. 

The last sentence is gospel. As much as despise Ryan,the little fugger can  rollout and throw the deep strike with the best of them. I truly believe if Cam can add this dimension to his game he would be even more of a threat.

[raleigh-panther]

He has been hit over 800 times in not yet a full 6th year

the protection  for the long vertical routes isn't good enough 

he holds the ball too long

his mastery and shulas of the short to intermediate game not good 

add that up, and unless something in the dynamic changes, he will be done at 30. If he gets that far

i said it before, a new OC is needed to push him. No one pushes him now or challenges him and it shows 

trading or getting decent offensive tackles would help.

HOW TF DID HE MISS GINN ON THE SHORT CROSSING ROUTE. No one was around him that would have most likely resulted in a td

Is this referring to the play where he threw it behind him? If so it's because Cam doesn't trust the o-line and its ability to let him step up/in to throws without getting destroyed. This has always been a problem for Cam with our o-line. It disappeared last year for a brief period but anyone with a brain knew they'd break down again and Cam would revert back.

the o line was decent on that play, he was hurried, yes, but he had enough time to make a <10 yard throw.

Assuming Ginn actually catches an on target throw

[Yo_Lover]

Falcon fan here just giving my two cents. I think the league lets Cam take more punishment than normal because of last year. When your team was winning last year they tended to do a lot of showboating, trash talk, dancing, etc. And yesterday when Cam got the first and tossed the ball into Deon's chest then proceeded to point forward, I think stuff like that causes refs and others to see Cam as disrespectful.

Even if they were decent on THAT play, they've been less than on many others and he doesn't trust what's there. I mentioned that last week. Cam doesn't trust the line so he's not trusting himself. He probably doesn't trust the coaching right now either but different story for a different thread.
