Your favorite play of the AZ game

For me, it was the play were Cam was pressured up the middle, rolled to his left to evade the pressure, and threw a bullet down field to LaFell for a 1st down.

Well executed in that Cam saw the pressure, moved away from it, threw with perfect (and difficult, for a right-hander) technique rolling to his left, and with velocity. On the other end of the play, LaFell did a great job changing his pattern to give Cam a target and made a great catch at the sideline.

Gotta agree on the second TD to Smitty. I have been hoping that Newton could find Smitty and do exactly what he did. It not only was fantastic to see, but was hopefully a portend of things to come. Newton is like Jake on steroids. He has all the good qualities of leadership and poise that Jake had plus he has the physical skills that Jake didn't have. If things go well between the two of them, it might keep Smitty in the league for several years.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
