Blandino promises all QBs will be treated the same

Blandino admits missed roughing call on Newton

“This is something we’ve heard before from other players,” Blandino said, “and we obviously don’t take player safety concerns lightly. And we review every play from every game with an eye for player safety, and we’ve done that all year.”

Blandino said that the league will address with the officials the missed call in order to “make sure that all of our quarterbacks are protected the same way under the rules.”

The NFL hasn’t said it publicly yet, but the NFL’s position is that all quarterbacks are protected — or not — equally. From a P.R. standpoint, however, it’s hard to push back against Newon’s arguments that he’s not getting protected as well as other quarterbacks by saying, essentially, “We’re screwing things up way worse with other quarterbacks, Cam.”

The league has every incentive to protect quarterbacks from illegal hits. Without healthy quarterback, NFL games will become less interesting — and the ratings will implode even more. So the best answer to the problem will be to insist that referees protect quarterbacks properly. If, for whatever reason, that can’t be done adequately in real time, the league needs to find a way to rectify any errors via replay review.

they pretty much have to do something now, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Doing something is an admission they weren't doing something they should of...

NFL doesn't seem to be "about that life".  I suspect NFL teams will continue to get away with more than they should

This is coming from a guy that tweeted #dezcaughtit Sunday night.  He has no self awareness and I doubt anything will actually change.  Cam will probably get hit and it won't be flagged and he'll tweet #shouldhavebeenapenalty . 

 

fug that guy



He really is a clueless dumbass. Watch his lame ass segments on NFLN. When he's not sounding like an idiot he's on Jerry's bus slamming boxed wine.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
