no suspension even after his comments.  Wow.  I think the league is setting an example that it's ok to be wreckless. 

I hope they put in the rule for ejection, but not the way he currently proposes it.  Make it where the player has to sit out the rest of the current drive and the opposing team is rewarded significantly.... such as 15 additional yards, if within 15 yards to endzone, auto first down, ball at the 1, and ball placed at 15 on the following kickoff if opposing team scores.

Don't think that's settled yet.

Suspensions tend to take longer, and it wouldn't be effective till next season anyway.

DENVER - The Broncos defense played on the edge all season, blurring the lines between intimidating and penalties.

Super Bowl 50 featured a dominant performance with a cost. The NFL fined cornerback Aqib Talib $26,044 for separate incidents involving a facemask on receiver Corey Brown and taunting, our partners at The Denver Post learned Friday.


The ruling means Talib is not expected to be suspended after the league reviewed his actions.

I'd really rather they didn't suspend Talib. It was bad and he admitted it was intentional and I get that but I really don't want the NFL to start going down the road where basically every personal foul is a suspension. Burfict getting 3 games was extreme. He should have gotten 1, maybe 2. Now they're considering a suspension for a facemask? Can't wait for roughing the passer to be an automatic ejection and 1 game suspension.

It's not going to make anyone feel any better or help us in any way.

suspend him and players like him wont consider the 15 yard mark the start of "free pass" territory. I don't know why that's hard to comprehend.

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
