Cam's trolling sealed the game

"Cam shouldn't showboat so much. He just fuels the other team."

I caught a little bit of the Seahawks game and Russell Wilson is helping opposing defenders up, love taps on their butts, all stuff I'd never see from Cam in a million years (I think at most I've seen him share a laugh with some). An ESPN survey of players named Newton as the league's biggest trash-talker. He clearly frustrates guys as evident by all the celebration interruptions and jawing off, but I've never believed this idea that it motivates professional football players enough to play better. We do, however, have documented proof that it can work in his favor:

 

That is a man so frustrated he did something stupid and ended the game for his team. Poker players call this "full tilt". Make no mistake, he wouldn't shove Rodgers or Wilson or Brady like that. But Cam's "not really a QB" and they just want to hit him and shut him up soooo bad. So bad that they get stupid.

Mindgames in the vein of Muhammad Ali or Steve Smith.

Ref wasn't gonna throw that flag until the pass came up incomplete. Had that ball been caught he wasn't gonna throw it. Which is bullshit, because that's a penalty that is tacked onto yardage gained.

Bingo. 

“You’re to young to get those calls”

the fact that refs have that mentality with Cam, and still do is crap

Lol I honestly didn't notice this. He's really looking down the field to see if the ball is caught wowww lmao

    • It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.
    • I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.  
    • Tbf were not going to the superbowl this year so the development of our young wr is invaluable  As a side note 5 of our wr are in their 2nd year or less ( t Mac, Coker, tremayne, horn, x)  It's def a promising youth movement
