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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
