Donald and Barron hits. Clean or not clean?

In yesterday's game vs the Rams Cam took 2 shots to the head. 1 from Mark Barron a S/LB combo player and Aaron Donald. Arguably the best DT in the league. 

Review of Barron hit: Overall I thought it was dirty but not intentionally dirty. Barron isn't that kind of player and he was just playing hard. It seemed like he tried to Sack Cam with his shoulder into his chest and he incidentally hit helmet to helmet with Cam. Overall it definetly should have been called roughing the passer. But at the end of the day I guess it is the norm now right?

Review of Donald hit: I think that this one is tougher to decipher. Donald is a intense player but not a dirty player like Suh, or Burfict. But he has had a few roughing the passer calls in the past. It seemed like he jumped onto Cam in a clean way. Just so happened that his helmet hit Cam's when he Leapfrogged onto Cam's upper body. I think that it should have been called roughing the passer as well. Obviously not as clear cut as a missed call that Barron's hit was. But the rules state that you cannot hit a QB in the pocket late, low, or in the head. By rule Donald should've been flagged but a tough call to make live so I am not as mad about this hit.

The NFL seems to not care what Cam and the Panthers say. But the NFL is getting a lot of negative press for these kinds of events continually happening. Hopefully it comes back to bite them in the ass

The Donald hit looked clean. The Barron was as dirty as a Clinton.

Donald jumped up and came down and cracked Newton in the head with his helmet.

it isn't about intent or trying to play dirty...Donald's hit was illegal.  Helmet to helmet in the pocket is illegal.

Cleaned Cam's clock.   Both looked clean to me, they were just vicious hits.  Any other QB would be dead from the Barron hit

How is a a defenders helmet hitting Cam's helmet clean? Hitting a QBs helmet with your mere hand draws QBs the call.

to me it looked like barron came in with the shoulder and forearm and donald came helmet to helmet.

Barron intentionaly went high and contact with the head was clearly made. 

Doesnt matter if he shoulder lead the flight  to Cam head or not

Those were just football plays.  I just dont see the hit to the head on Barron's hit, maybe I need to see it in slow-mo.  Donald's was a little closer to to helmet to helmet hit, but it could have went either way in my eyes. 

 

Edit:  Just seen the other angle of the Barron hit.  Yep, flag should have thrown.

      Derek Carr Retires

      D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured.

      I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.

      I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
