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.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
