I mean no one really gave a damn when it happened to Luck in week 1. I think the fact that there are now ejections for them the outrage is far more muted since they actually receive a harsh punishment compared to just a 15 yard penalty in years past.

Also neither QB was knocked out of the game and result more than action is what leads to the most outrage typically.

So your saying that since he didn't receive a concussion that the hit was somehow less dangerous?

I said in week one that teams would look for other ways to take Cam out.   Don't forget 2015 Atlanta was the first team to use the headshot on Cam so it doesn't surprise me that they headhunted a different way.

So he pays a fine (small in comparison to what they make) and sits out the rest of the game.  Yeah that's really a deterrent.   He should have been suspended at least two games or IMO the remainder of the season. 

Please don't feed me that B.S. that in real time his actions couldn't have been avoided.  I may be in the minority but I believe that directed by the coaching staff.  They'll sacrifice a player to take Cam out.  Especially if he only lost part of a game.

Such B.S.  It has been going on for years now.

That’s not at all what I said. I said the public outrage was less because he wasn’t injured. The hell did you get that from what I wrote.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
