The Refs don't protect guys like Cam

I just love the logic some give that a Super Bowl ring is supposed to add +1 to your Football Ring of Protection for every ring you own.

 

That reasoning is just so ridiculous.

 

The logic for that, just as the logic for "the Jordan Rules" used to be in basketball, is "HEY GUZ THIS DUDE IS BETTER THAN EVURBODY ELSE HEY YOU KNOW WHAT HYUCK HYUCK LETS MAKE IT EVEN *EASIER* ON HIM AND GIVE HIM EXTREE SPECIAL RULES SINCE HE DOESN'T EVEN NEED'EM!!!"

 

:rolleyes:

 

No one here is making the rules, it's what we see on the field. And the fact of the matter is that those qbs get more protection then everyone else. It's not fair to the panthers or every other team in the league but what can anyone sitting on their couch do about it?

Nothing, actually.

 

That doesn't mean we just have to shut up and like it.

I don't understand how people are saying the hit out of bounds was questionable. Yes, he slipped. But you can't push someone, especially a QB, after they're out of bounds...which is clearly what happened. It's cut and dry. It's not debatable, it's not a big time QB call. It's a simple, easy call by the ref.

Remember that blow to the head call that Cam got against the Vikings that really wasn't? Judgment calls will bounce both ways.

What bothers me is the botched instant replay from the dolphins sideline catch. No excuse for that fug up when the ref goes under the hood. I would like to hear the NFL explain how lead official Scott Green doesn't understand the rule book.

What a load this thread is, somebody crying about officiating after the breaks we have gotten the last two games. Give it a rest.

 

The Charles Clay reception on the sidelines?  How on earth was there enough visual evidence to overturn that?  The Wallace reception was just as dicey, but if ur not going to overturn that for us then the refs shouldn't have overturned the Clay catch for Philbin.  I've seen countless instances of WRs making catches like that being ruled incomplete because they didn't retain possession to the ground.

What about the leg whip on CJ vs the Pats?  The 2 Logan Mankins headbutts?  The last scuffle between Smith and Talib that got Talib benched?

The Vernon Davis non-fumble was by far the worst.  I don't understand how that wasn't a fumble.  Catch, clear possession, MULTIPLE football moves, MULTIPLE steps, and moving the ball upfield... thats a catch, run and fumble if I've ever seen one.

I understand the outrage. But it wasn't as obvious as the Brees hit. The ref that would have called it was directly behind Cam, and his head didn't really get knocked back.

 

 

The official had a bad angle. I don't like it, but if you watch the play you'll see that the guy simply couldn't see what happened.

 

The problem is that they shouldn't be in a bad position from the get go.

 

The ref to the left of the screen was "behind" Cam and couldn't see it. but what about this guy??

As seen in the next plays camera view... there are 2 refs back there....

And look at Newton and Wake. they are both looking up to the ref. I'm sure they both expected a flag... but nothing. And THAT ref I'm sure could see the hit.

I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin...

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
