Something forgotten in all the bad call talk

Another no call.

Brooks jumps over the pile. Gross goes up to him to protect the QB. Brooks takes a swing at Gross. Joe Buck commented on it.

Just like the headbutt....another foul ignored when SF did it, flagged late when Carolina did it.

Yet josh Thomas gets it right away for the same thing. I'm sorry but the fix was in on this game.

In fairness, it wasn't the same thing. Thomas missed and hit the ground. Brooks got the right side of Gross' helmet.

Also, Brooks' was much easier to spot bc all eyes were on him

I said that to my buddy when the play happened that has to be a personal foul and a first down since he took a swing at our player. Sadly only encroachment was called. Cost them 4 points I believe. I thought I was seizing things since no one talked about it later and my seats were at other end of stadium.

Encroachment is one thing but to jump over the line like that was reckless. Someone could have seriously been injured on the play. I think it was planned

    • 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.
    • 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.
