clean isn't launching yourself into a defenseless receiver. What part of that do you not understand?

He was not defenseless..... No fair catch was called and there was not Helmet to Helmet like has been said before. Here is a better vid of it. The ball come 2 sec after the hit at the PR feet. It was just badly timed. Westley even goes after the ball thinking he knocked it free. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwfFxr0zI-A

there is no halo rule but you still have to give the receiver a chance to catch the ball, which Wesley clearly didn't.

Except that the return man was no where close to where the ball came down so that is irrelevant as well.

It does happen all the time, just not nearly so hard. Watch when a returner lets a ball go in the end zone, but doesn't get out of the way. 9 times out of 10 he takes a shot.

So true. Im sure he will not make that mistake again. It has become if you lay the wood in the NFL you get fined.

Except that the return man was no where close to where the ball came down so that is irrelevant as well.

Watch the vid again. The ball lands right at the PR feet then bounces out of bounds. He was not trying to hurt the guy. Just mistimed the shot.

clean hit. The return man only has a clean right to field the ball if he calls for a fair catch, which he did not. That's the difference between college and the nfl. The penalty called was fair catch interference, which was completely wrong.

All other points aren't relevant. How was wesley supposed to know that the return man was letting the ball go?

Know the rules before you Type anything. You are a idiot. The returner has the right too the ball with or without a fair catch. That's why people slow up and let them catch the ball before they hit him. You can't get the ball unless it touches him or another player on his team. You can't hit a defenseless player. You can't launch yourself into a defenseless player. Dante did both.

Go back to watching college games and you'll be right.

Defenseless is when a player doesn't have the ball and is left vulnerable. That's what happened to the returner and Wesley nailed him. You just said it yourself. The ball came TWO SECONDS after Wesley hit him and was 2 yards away from where the returner got hit. That is NOT clean!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
