Did Cam’s dabs and grandiose celebrations lead to his downfall injury wise?

One thing that has been apparent over the years is it really seems like Cam brings out something in opposing defenders that other QBs don’t. It always seems like when opposing defenders hit or sack Cam, they do it with an agenda and with intensity other QBs just don’t experience. 
 

I think back to alll the times other defenders have mocked his Superman pose and dabs when they sack him. Then the Titans game a few years back when he got in the defender’s face after a TD and rubbed it in.

Or the Bucs game where he slowed down and held out the ball before he reached the end zone in a taunting manner. It’s almost like players see that and it’s frowned upon so they make sure to go extra hard after Cam and “humble” him.

Look at the sacks Kyle Allen has taken so far, just very light, garden variety sacks, definitley not with the same force and aggressiveness as with Cam.

No. If anything it seems like players tend to like him and the fun he brings to the game. The intensity they bring to stop him is because he is a large good player.

His shoulder injury is rooted in a play where he was tackled getting close to a TD. The foot injury was on an extended play where he was tackled trying to escape the pocket but nothing dirty or rough at all.

Wasn't that basically one game vs the Broncos to start 2016?

And the Superbowl before it.

And several games before and after it.

But yeah...aside from all the other games refs let it happen, it was just that one.

pretty sure his injury downfall can be pinpointed.....to him giving 100% on a INT return trying to prevent the defender from scoring.  You know the play, where lazy Kelvin allowed the pick, then didn't bother making an easy stop....so, Cam, like always had to do everything. 

and I am not downplaying the fact refs have allowed him to be treated like a 1980 RB and tee off on him at will most of his career.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      I agree, but I've already said that the players will definitely take more money up front because it's more security. But they want more guaranteed money and NFL FOs don't want to do that for several and various reasons, and that's what's at issue.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-second-round-rookies-finally-starting-to-sign-what-took-so-long-and-what-it-means-for-future-contracts/ It's a tug of war between teams and players, and, sure, paying a player a signing bonus may satisfy them, especially if--and sometimes "only if"--it ultimately leads to a guarantee of more of their contract, but the teams are on the hook for all of those guarantees when cap time comes, so if they guarantee more money, they're ultimately losing the contract game.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
