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 cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
