Time for Cam to learn to slide.

[RoaringRiot]

If a QB "surrenders" in any form (be it sliding or collapsing in a ball) he is protected. He just needs to make a wiser decision on getting down sooner that he DIDN'T do last night.

Head first and they are NOT considered down.

Cam will be the first to tell you that he sucks at sliding... said he sucked at baseball. He needs to be smarter about how and when he goes down.

[RoaringRiot]

It is BS that a QB can obviously be surrendering and a defensive player can still put a lick on them. A surrender should be a surrender no matter how they go down.

He generally slides when he has the first down. If he doesn't, and thinks he can run some people over, I'm all for that.

[SmootsDaddy89]

In general, you want Cam dishing out the hits, not potentially taking them on a slide.

By rule you are afforded more protection when you slide, so he should learn to slide.

For what it's worth Rivera also made the comment he needs to slide as well.

Yeah, but apparently you shouldn't listen to Rivera because he just doesn't know n stuff.

Watch what happens when a player surrenders himself to the ground, doesn't make another move, and another player comes in at full speed and levels a blow on him.

While I concur that Cam needs to protect himself more I truly believe sliding feet first is not the answer. Cams ankles have bothered him since college and I think he doesn't trust a baseball slide in football cleats. He's worried it will roll under him or something. Maybe catch on the turf and blow out his knee. He does it his way and I'm cool with it. Nothing or no one can make him do it differently.

Except you don't slide on your feet, it's hip, butt, leg and knee.

I'm well aware of how it is supposed to work.  But you know, sometimes life has funny ways of turning out differently.

Throw the ball away more often. No worries about feet or head first and taking extra hits. Problem solved.

Over simplified. it's not like sliding is a fix-all. people get hurt sliding as well. artificial turf and super soft grass, are real bitches to try and slide on, for many reasons. funny how a defender can get flagged for falling too hard on a QB, during a sack...yet you can hit one on the ground, when he has obviously given up. should only be allowed to touch them down at that point. Cam is going to play like Cam and i for one, love him for it. No one can predict whats going to happen, at any point. even if one were to do "all of the right things".
