Well they were a bunch of pussies last year.

And I have inkling suspicion that Matty is the biggest pussy of them all.

Cam gets a late hit on him and you saw all the offensive lineman get his back. Later gross said cam is one of the toughest players he's ever played with and teammates respect that

I remember during Cam's rookie year he split his thumb nail open and was bleeding a good bit.  I was shocked how well he could still throw the ball...

 

Then theres the game he bit his tongue and spat out a nasty blood lugie.

 

The playing on a bum ankle as a running quarterback...

 

Cam's a fugin horse.

 

 

Also I wonder if other members of the team were a bit irked by the amount of money he was making.  Money can make things different between people, especially if people sincerely believe you are only making that money because of them.

Since the QB is sliding forward, you are right.

Direction of the feet-first slide is irrelevant and the hit was illegal. Once the QB starts to slide, forward progress is stopped and he is no longer eligible to be hit. Momentum and yardage gained counts in a head-first dive, but there are also no protections given in that scenario.

What has Matt Ryan ever done to exhibit any real toughness? Yelling "get the fug off my field" from the back side of your own sideline hardly counts when you can't even been seen by the opposition.

Ryan is the leader, shouldn't surprise anyone when the rest of the team falls in line with his soft and sensitive demeanor.

You're kidding, right?

Nothing clean or fair about it. Ryan was obviously giving himself up and Vacarro had time to pull up.

Watch the clip Vaccaro dives turning his head away the same moment Ryan dives feet first towards floor! I think gravity and all kinds of directional science will say they were going to collide nothing either player could do to stop once commited, so fair tackle IMO

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
