Video of Cam's block in camp

[Jrock88]

And Steve Smith breaking his arm in what was it a flag football game? LOL. Honestly, Cam throwing a block isn't that big of a deal, some people just need something to bicker about.

[Jrock88]

smitty should never play flag football again, too dangerous

no doubt, coaching staff should just regulate every aspect of the players' lives, CANT RISK GETTING HURT NOW

Football is becoming more and more soft... and YOU PUS$IES arent helping

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.

we should sprinkle the field with those styrofoam packing peanuts so players don't get bruised falling to the turf

[Jrock88]

All players must be wrapped in a protective bubblewrap prior to stepping on to the practice field. Preventative measures.

How I prefer to remember Favre...

one of my own favorite games of all time

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?

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.

[Cape Fear Cat]

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).
