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

Cam did nothing but celebrate. Big blk QB that can back up what he says. It's not the intensity that Cam brought was bad. It made the game interesting. What was bad was that players were not punished for the illegal hits. The NFL itself did not like CAM and this is where I turn my TV off. Defenders and refs were doing what they were allowed to do. Other QBs you could not even touch without getting penalized and fined. Cam was open season and they took advantage of it.

that definitely happened with the head shots and refs.   didn't cause his injuries but it happened.  and they were by and large black guys taking those head shots.  it wasn't racist.  it was smashing the guy who smashed them and dabbed on them.   that's how sports works.   refs are a different story.   its literally why the old timers say 'act like you've been there before'.  because when you can play like cam could and celebrate like he does people on the other team are gonna wanna knock your block off even more.   and they did.  that's just life.

Anyone that actually believes a football player celebrating with their teammates justifies literal headhunting to the extreme point of trying to give someone a potential brain injury is beyond reasoning with on any intellectual level. That's some bullshit lower than even Saints fans, and that's pretty fugging low.

Eh. I can see how with this board’s recent history people would take issue with the subject of it. I tend to think that in a vacuum, it’s a fair point of discussion, but I see why nobody thinks that discussion is likely to be productive at this moment, so I feel ya.

I think it would have been a more relevant discussion if Cam were suffering from a concussion. The shoulder was destined to be an issue based on throwing mechanics alone despite taking a hit. The foot was just an occurrence, although I wouldn’t call it random it certainly had no correlation with players targeting him or his celebration for that matter as it was noncontact.

This has been the biggest problem, his brains have been scrambled.

Pie for that video. The NFL has now cheated the Panthers out of two Superbowls.

The NFL like the NBA OBVIOUSLY influences officials to manufacture THEIR desired outcome.

They never said it would be a fair game so enjoy football with that knowledge in mind.

REMEMBER the 49ers playoff game at BofA. The officials cheated their asses off.

Watch out Sunday folks.

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.

I think you need a “little” more intensity to bring down a 6’6 foot 250 pound monster vs bringing down Kyle Allen lmao. No disrespect to Kyle Allen he has grit, but this is just common sense.

Can't agree.

If you want to say he drew some extra hard hitting, that I could understand. But shots to the head are dirty. Nobody deserves those, especially not just for celebrating or even showboating.

Yeah, but I couldn't help but stand and cheer for the Panthers when they knocked Dion and Irvin out of that playoff game back in the day. Epic.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
