Really with these football players, when they aren't practicing or playing they should be put in one of those sleep chambers like in Aliens. And only let out to play football.

Since when did QBs have to block to be dynamic?

They don't necessarily. As stated in what you quoted, it's my opinion. I, MYSELF, PERSONALLY, think that a QB should be able to handle blocking when he needs to. If you want a franchise QB, that means that even when the franchise runs out of fail safes for the QB, i.e. the run game, great defense, etc, said QB will always play hard and tough and never be fearful of helping the team achieve the goal of the game which is scoring more points than the opposition. You think last year Beason let up on D? fug no. He played as hard as he could every play I'm sure. That's how every member of a fuging TEAM should be, I don't care if you play offense or defense.

Cam is pretty big, and a psychical guy. I don't really see it happening much, i.e HB running all the way back around. I'm not scared of Cam getting hurt, he is smart enough to know when to step up and block and when not to so he doesn't get laid out, or at least I hope he is.

I think it's cool that he threw a block but I agree with McDerrmott. If he wants to be out there hitting the defense they should be able to hit him back.

Different scenario. The quarterback is inevitably thrown into a leadership role and is often measured by it(among other things). Stop whining about it, Cam is being Cam and if the team didn't know who that is, they do now. If he gets hurt before the season(throwing a block), I'll eat crow. Til then, let the kid play.

Explain to me how I'm whining about it when I previously said it was cool. Me asking a question in response to your post doesn't equal whining.

Perhaps Smitty shouldn't have helped out in this play?

I know this video is of a real game and Cam was in practice, but this is part of the game and Cam is giving it his all. As others have pointed out, you can get injured doing pretty much anything so what does it friggin matter?

P.S. - How do you embed youtube vids, the embed code given on youtube didnt work

Perfectly understandable. I was just simply asking.

Pilares was the one blocking the CB he had on his side, and I thought he did pretty well doing it. That was a safety or a different CB methinks, and I have no idea where Pilares went to.

Also, I have no response to your added note there, sorry. =(

Andddddddd, Smithy would probably have more of a chance getting laid out then Cam would doing the move he did.

Yeah, but DAMN...you gotta love the spunk of it! I agree it was not a bright think to do, but I can't argue that a QB willing to be a downfield blocker has the kind of fire I want to see. I had no strong feelings for Newton one way or the other when he was drafted, but stuff like that is certainly making me want to see him succeed.

Get out there and knock some dust & cobwebs off. It's been a long off season. Neither one was going full speed nor were they trying to lay anyone out. Cam hitting someone is different from someone hitting Cam (as far as the way his body reacts from the contact).

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
