Whatever happened to Cam avoiding contact...

Cam used to be really good at avoiding big hits and awkward tackles by falling to the ground as soon as things got scary, but I think he's starting to get a bit reckless.  From trying to advance the ball last week with Sheldon Richardson on his back to attempting to out-muscle linebackers in designed runs today, I'm starting to get a little worried.  

 

I hope this trend doesn't continue because I've always admired Cam's awareness and decision-making in these situations.  I have no problem with him using his athleticism to break tackles, but I draw the line at carrying defensive ends on his back.  What do you guys think?  Problem or whole lotta nothing?

It's what Rivera would call a "calculated risk."

He has gotten really good at knowing when to slide and when to fight for extra yards. However, he is a competitor which is why you will never see him slide on a third down play.

It seems to me that most of the time he comes up gimpy or somewhat hurt is on sacks, not when he is outside the pocket and running around.

Just my observation, feel free to disagree... IDGAF

all of your posts are hideous man... really getting tired of it. talk football and quit being a douche.

All really? Glad you pay so much attention to me. I don't even know you, couldn't tell you one thing you've ever posted. Sorry im drunk still and thought the thread was dumb. Cams going to be cam. This is NFL football you can't always avoid big hits. Cam does better than most avoiding hits, but when he does take a big hit he's built to handle it.

And this point of yours was abbreviated by "Shut up"?

You want somebody that avoids contact? Talk to Eli. I'm sure he'll curl up in enough fetal positions for you.

He's going to get hit. I think he's a more athletic roethlisberger, but Roethlisberger takes a lot of shots just as a comparison....

 

I do think it's something to be concerned about. Cam is starting to get dinged and he plays behind a suspect line....

 

You never see a Peyton Manning take the shots cam takes.

 

That because Peyton Manning isn't Cam. When it comes those QBs who are seen as "special" it's all about the team doing everything to protect him. When it comes to Cam, it's become a normal thing to try and ignore what the responsibility of the 10 other guys and try to find ways of everything being Cam's fault.

 

This what this kid is now dealing with in the NFL. Instead of fixing the real issues on a team and surround Cam with solid and consistant play-akers and protection like the "special QBs" in the league like Peyton, Brees, Luck and Tom, folks much rather go the immature route. It always seems to work with Cam.

      NFL Free Agency

      By frankw · Posted

      Depends on the price tag. But as another poster has noted in another thread. We are not going to be able to continue to spend our way out of our OL challenges via free agency dollars. And we certainly cannot keep shining Dan Morgan's shoes like he's the executive of the year for doing so. Any huddler here could do that. And even if we continue down that path we are going to end up in the same boat when it's all said and done. When our offense is laboring to make it anywhere near the end zone and our defense cannot save the day it's just going to be a repeat of the same scapegoating as last year. We'll blame the DC we'll blame the defense for not winning us the game etc. Anything to divert from the reality that our FO has put us in these predicaments to prop up a bad pick.

      Was coming back from work in NYC last night.  Had live TV on plane, watched first 8 minutes of Tarheels, and then realized this team isn't worth watching without Caleb and while Hubert is the coach. Proceeded to take advantage of free vodka, watch Springsteen movie and forget the Tarheels exist until ACC Tournament.

      You can argue ‘should’. It certainly could have been. And might be this year. You gonna complain if we instead sign the best proven C out there?
