anybody think we're getting extra personal fouls against Cam due to his status as an up and coming rookie?

There was one in the Arizona game were the finger of a defender tipped his face mask and they got 15 yards

the other day I have no idea what the first foul against newton was about. Maybe two guys hitting him up high and low? I know that would be illegal blocking somebody but not tackling. It certainly wasn't a late hit.

There have been some legit ones but I doubt Clausen would get the same attention.

I suppose it's nice but I'd rather just have consistent judgments than needing a golden boy at QB to get some ref attention. If this is the way it has to be I sure am happy it's in our favor.

Ya think? It was called a "late hit." Which you and I know is quite impossible when the ball is flailing in the air. Yes you can thank Mike Vick for the NFL's new stance on protecting star QBs who will be the future face of the NFL. I believe in protecting our league's assets but not to the point that it affects the outcome of a game. Sure it was the middle of the third quarter but that call keeps you guys in the game and changes everything.

The problem with the rules right now is that you can take that play and show it to five different referees in real time and three opinions come out of the other end. These protection rules need to be clarified in the offseason to protect the integrity of the game. We could have just as easily been the benefactors of a bad call on a Brees hit (I think we've gotten a couple this year) and I don't want to win that way.

UNPOSSIBLE! The refs are out to get us, remember?

There was a game in either 2007 or 2008 where Peppers got flagged for basically hugging Brees after coming to as much of a complete stop as a defensive player of his stature could. There is no weaker RTP call than that.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
