Waste of Internet space.

It wasn't just "questioned", whether Cam could throw from the pocket. The Analysts said HE DEFINITELY COULD NOT.

There's a difference, and that's no reflected in that article. They didn't just "wonder" whether or not he could. They ADAMANTLY said he could not.

Well, first it started as questioning. Then as it got closer to draft day and they realized he had a chance to go off the board as the first pick, it became a real concern.

I have to admit, I've watched a lot of sports in my time and the media's vitriolic attack on Cam during the draft was like nothing I've ever seen. It was clear they knew who they wanted to go off the draftboard first and Cam was not the one and they were not going to let up.

I was all in for Cam before the draft. But get this. I made my own opinion by watching his games myself. I downloaded as many as I could. I also done the same for Gabbert. After about 2-3 games it was quite easy to see who should be the #1 pick. I honestly didn't see it on film what the media was seeing in Gabbert.

same here. what i saw in gabbert was what i was seeing in clausen as a rookie. gabbert hasn't done anything so far to show that i was wrong in that assessment. he's limited in what he can do and he can't handle the pressure that he gets.

with cam, though...i saw a guy who had a big arm that could kill you through the air and on the ground. someone who was a threat to make a big play every single time he touched the ball.

i also saw someone that could hype up his team and the fans and could will and rally his team back form any deficit. it's not been until recently that i saw that part of him as a pro, though. i'm glad he's got it back.

Gabbert has the size and arm for the qb position.

Difference was Gabbert tap danced in the pocket, threw more check downs and wr screens then Newton did and also had a spread offense that he was average against Big 12 secondaries. He was a bigger project as a QB but got a weird fre pass...or "he will be the one from this draft" accolades.

Newton excelled against the SEC and played at a historic level for his first season as a starter in division 1.

Funny to see an article praising this draft class as an all timer with impact performances from Von Miller, Newton, Dalton, AJ Green, Dareus, P Peterson.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
