You know how bad the media is?

PTI on Espn last Monday had a segment on the Panthers and in that segment they began to discuss Cam.

Cornhole said and I quote " I like Cam, but the Superman after every first down is ridiculous."

Then Wilbon agrees.

WTF!!!?!?!? Have they ever even watched a game?

poo like this is why low info Nfl fans think Cam is a douche. I hope WHEN we win a Superbowl, not one fugging Panther goes on that GD show.

I know nothing came of it, but why was he down there? He wasn't really giving himself up just kinda tripped. Then no one touched him and he put the ball down. Could he not have gotten up and kept running?

I don't know the exact rule but I think when you slide you're surrendering yourself .

He didn't really slide. Usually when he goes down it looks similar to the way he fell and I guess that's why they killed the play but it didn't look intentional to me.

It's a QB, so I'm not going to fault the refs for it since they're trained to protect QBs these days. Gotta take the good with the bad with those rules.

Really?

 

Looked more like to me that he thought he was about to get hit by the LB, who stood there and basically laughed at him throwing himself on the ground "scared" so to speak of the hit he "thought" was coming.

 

Dont blame Cam one bit..i much prefer him down and uninjured..but to call it a "slip" (as in an accident) or a "slide" (as in , intentional and planned) sems a bit over the top. Its more like the "oh poo" look of a deer in the headlights.

Wow that was a fumble. If you go down head first by rule you are not surrendering yourself, and no one touched Cam. We got a good break on that play.

Earlier in the season RGnoKnee did the same thing and the ground knocked the ball out, it was ruled a fumble on the feild.

Meh, looked like his patented fall forward with your head/shoulder in the ground.  I don't blame the refs for blowing it dead.  What really pisses me off, though, is that Cam takes hit after hit in the back and side when he slides head first.  If it were Peyton, Rodgers, Brady, etc, i.e., a QB that slides feet first, that took a hit when sliding, it would be a 15 yard penalty.  IMO, THAT is where the refs have been fuging up all year.  I think it should be a personal foul every time he gets hit like that.  A slide is a slide, and Cam is giving himself up on the play just to take the crown of someone's helmet in his back.  It's BS.
