Would really love to see DJ have a QB who could place that kind of ball for him to run on to.  He hasn't shown it consistently yet, but I can see DJ achieving those sorts of things with a QB that has an actual NFL arm and ball placement.

My wife and I were at that game sitting in the second level behind the end zone. When Smitty caught the ball, he was running straight towards where I was sitting and then he cut left to the end zone.  I stood up with my arms raised. Since we were surrounded by Rams fans, my wife was pulling on my shirt telling me to sit down.  But I'm telling you, that stadium went from jet airplane loud to darn near silence in a split second except for a few pockets of Panther fans spread throughout the stadium.  

That was a crazy game.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
