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.

Wrong thread?

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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
