Not trying to beat a dead horse... (QB hits)

Idk how many of you watch NFL Turning Point but they did a segment on the Panthers - Vikings game and I just now watched it...

 

This was a horrible play by Oher, and I don't think it was a malicious hit by the Vikings but based on other plays I've seen recently (Drew Stanton getting hit by a hand in the helmet Sunday by the 49ers), how is this not a foul?

I think this sort of thing approaches a broader discussion.

It's fun to chug beers, and yell about a football game, but these head injuries are going to be a completely different discussion 20 years from now when this generation of players begins to pay the price.

Normally i would think its just a difference in officiating crews, but Cam never gets this call.

I honestly don't know how this isn't roughing the passer. Like the foul you mentioned, I've also seen QB's like Drew Brees, Andrew Luck, and Tom Brady get barely touched on the helmet by an inadvertent grab by a defender called a personal foul.

It's infuriating...

This is my problem, call it, don't call it, but damn it be consistent. 

Refs are gonna miss calls but this is inexcusable. 

 

As a side note, between the Denver game hits, this hit and other hits in general,  Cam may have been playing hurt, because you know if he can play, he's gonna play unless they make him sit.

Quarterbacks get the call. Unless you're Cam. Then his posture says he's a runner which makes him free game. That's how I understand the rule. 

Which is utter bullshit either way, because, as in this case, he's clearly a passer and two, he shouldn't be treated any differently...  hell Dax Prescott got a roughing the passer call vs Washington because a guy pushed him in the back...  PUSHED HIM IN THE BACK... yes, you read that correctly.  He's a "mobile QB" too isn't he?

I agree with you. Cam doesn't get fair treatment and the reason, I'm not sure. I've seen other mobile quarterbacks get these calls. Rivera has to be willing to take penalties when he sees this stuff happening. I saw Trai and KB in a refs face Sunday, but where is the coach? I also agree with your above post, with the hits from Denver and this hit, he's most likely been hurt and the hit in Atlanta was the icing on the cake. Yet, Rivera hasn't brought attention to these hits at all.

I saw a lot of bad sketchy hits on Sun. Can't recall of them being flagged or not but it seems a twofold issue. One? more guys are just terrible tacklers and two they go more for the head maybe subconsciously knowing no call.

But honestly i rarely see a game now where helmet to helmet isn't going on.

I'm really starting to fall in line with this thinking. Maybe more happens behind the scenes but the point about yelling at a ref is to get a call from those refs.

I always wondered what is considered a QB "hit". If cam slides and a D-player touches him with a hand, is that a hit? If cam runs out of bounds and a player touches him, is that a hit? I know the closest player gets credit for a tackle in that case. Just curious.

You guys just can't see what's really going on here.  Cam has opened himself up to this kind of indifference from the refs when he called out Ed.  They are going to let him get his comeuppance from guys who are more than willing to lay his trash talking, camera hogging ass out.  

Some of these guys are extremely competitive and don't take kindly to being shown up on National Television and Cam Newton did a lot of that last year, you guys know this.

So to end my incoherent rant I will say this.  I love me some Cam Newton, dude is a baller and on my team.   You be you baby but know this, protect yourself cause the league sure won't.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
