Those hits were obvious and both were helmet to helmet. Honestly had they been called they would extended drives and most likely led to points as well. Not only is Cam getting hammered but it is not even benefitting the offense for him to take those hits. A double screwing all around.  Guy launch at Cams head all the time.

Honestly, might be crazy, but their QB situation isn't desirable. Nick Foles and Alex Smith both underperform in eyes of chiefs fans. In fact, before sunday, everyone wanted Foles back and considered him to be Brady level good and blasted at the chiefs for not starting him.

 

Spencer Ware though. I have him on fantasy. He's pretty good.

I like to roll my bacon up in my pancakes like a taco.

Cam multiple shots to the head again yesterday just makes me feel like we probably should just give up on the NFL and officials on protecting our QB.  Cam somehow still isn't seen as a "Top Tier" quarterback to get calls even in the pocket.  The Mark Barron hit was a little iffy and I believe if that was Rodgers, Brady, Brees, etc. they get the call.  The 2 I was more concerned about that literally had me throwing up my hands in "What the fug" fashion was the Donald helmet-to-helmet hit which was blatant as the sky is blue and the after Cam run when the linebacker or cornerback finished up the place with driving his need into Cam's throat.  I don't ask for the NFl to get more pussified than it already is, I only ask, no I beg for consistency!

I was eager for the football season to start literally could not wait, but after watching the 1st two games of the panthers and watching how he is being treated was enough for me not to watch any football. I use to clear my schedule for certain football teams now I barely watch..i come here and see if Cam gets any illegal hits..not even interested in if they win or anyone else...This is not football it seems more like a gladiator except cam has no weapons just at the mercy of the emperors...at this point I almost wish he didn't play but I understand that he wants to be Ali just painful to watch a guy do nothing wrong but is beaten up by everyone except for a few fans. Anyone that has any sense of decency can agree he is be hunted and the league has given them the ok.

People are still trying to justify his hits in the pocket by the fact that he's big, strong, physical and can run. I'd accept that but the excuse is old and worn and we know what it's code for. If you sneeze on Tom Brady, he gets the call. You damn near have to put Cam on a stretcher to get the call but even then, it's offset by an offensive holding. Some even think that he's confused (saw this on FT actually) by what he's talking about. Said he's confusing the hits and no calls when he clearly stated as a runner, he understands he's on his own. Nobody, not even the organization, is taking this serious though. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Maybe the Panthers need to start avenging some of these illegal hits.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I can't think of one team that has paid a mediocre QB the obligatory $50m and then became a dynasty.  To me, it is like locking in hopes of mediocrity.  If you do not have a franchise, championship qb by year 5, move on.  I have no issues with bringing in damaged goods as backups and continuing to draft QBs until you hit jackpot, but we have been protecting Bryce from competition and babying him as he played below average since he was drafted.  I don't get it.

      If you have a sub-.500 team and your 1st and 2nd rounders (honestly, I'd go as deep as 3rd rpund) aren't getting very significant playing time in their rookie season you done fuged up.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Youre leaving off a very key stat. Darnold threw for over 4k yards last year. That's 1k yards more than Bryce. That's driving an offense and showing an ability to push the ball down field. Bryce hasn't shown he can do that with any type of consistency. Has he had moments, yes. But overall, our offense under his control really struggles.  We had 30 4th down attempts last year, and Bryce threw for just over 200 yards and 3 TDs on 4th down. That means he had just 2800 yards downs 1-3 with 20 TDs for the season. That's terrible for a starting QB. That backup level performance.  I don't even care that it's Bryce Young putting up these stats. It's our immense dedication to any QB that's doing this poorly overall and is an uncontested entrenched starter and people are talking franchise QB extension.  Brissett last year was a 6m per season backup and if his starts we're averaged over 16 games, he would have had 4400/30 and 13. I'd be good with paying for those numbers. Those numbers show an offense that can move with a QB. We just don't get that from our QB right now.  This isn't hate on Bryce. Our level of play from the most impactful position on the field has been bad. That has to change if we ever want to be serious about winning in Carolina. You cannot designate 50m plus per season to receive that level of performance. It will be a cap crushing move.
