Punishment coming soon


Cookie Lyon

Recommended Posts

a fine for what? he was poked in the eye and purposely went down at the request of his staff to give anderson some reps b/c it was 3rd down in a pretty crucial moment of the game. 

granted he was kneed in the helmet too, but that happens all the time in the NFL. The grimace he made and the squinting of the eyes was from the poke, not from the knee to the head, and if you watch the replay, it's so obvious.

I still don't think anything comes of it.

They might wag a finger and call us naughty, but I don't think we'll get any real punishment. If we do, I doubt it's more than a fine.

If it's more than a fine that's complete bullsh*t. Seahawks, who are repeat offenders with several different instances in different years of breaking protocol with practicing and concussions, just got a $100,000 fine this year for handling Wilson's protocol improperly. Should be nothing but worst case is likely a fine which really doesn't matter.

 

And please change the thread title @Cookie Lyon . Doesn't say we're getting punished, just that we'll find out whether we are or not soon.

Didn’t a similar thing happen to matt ryan in their game against the Rams? Didn’t a qb convulse on the ground this year, clearly got knocked out and had a concussion...and he stayed in the game. Yet nothing happens to these teams, but bc is Cam and the Panthers, we get punished. 

 

Side note; just saw Bortles say “f@&$ y’all” and give double bird on ESPN. The analyst after word thought it was great and laughed. Imiagine if Cam did that for a second. That’s what makes me so annoyed, the bias against cam is unreal.

If I'm not mistaken, that was the Texans QB that was convulsing in the end zone, and still played briefly afterward.

Edit. Yeah it was Tom Savage.

Had they pulled Cam from the game and sent him to the locker room only to have him say, "I only got gouged in the eye by my own helmet and I could have gone back in" the first two posters here would have been up in arms about how they had an agenda for keeping Cam off the field.

Sheesh. Let it go. Take Cam's word for it, if nothing else.

You can use the quote button.

But I'm reminded you're the guy who still questions his "intangibles" :eyeroll:

    • These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl  
    • If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.
    • Im all for defense. I’ll add Will Johnson and remove McMillian. While I’d rather have DL, two strong corners will allow for more safety help in the box, so it’s still a win for the run game.
