The Refs don't protect guys like Cam

I just love the logic some give that a Super Bowl ring is supposed to add +1 to your Football Ring of Protection for every ring you own.

 

That reasoning is just so ridiculous.

 

The logic for that, just as the logic for "the Jordan Rules" used to be in basketball, is "HEY GUZ THIS DUDE IS BETTER THAN EVURBODY ELSE HEY YOU KNOW WHAT HYUCK HYUCK LETS MAKE IT EVEN *EASIER* ON HIM AND GIVE HIM EXTREE SPECIAL RULES SINCE HE DOESN'T EVEN NEED'EM!!!"

 

:rolleyes:

 

No one here is making the rules, it's what we see on the field. And the fact of the matter is that those qbs get more protection then everyone else. It's not fair to the panthers or every other team in the league but what can anyone sitting on their couch do about it?

Nothing, actually.

 

That doesn't mean we just have to shut up and like it.

I don't understand how people are saying the hit out of bounds was questionable. Yes, he slipped. But you can't push someone, especially a QB, after they're out of bounds...which is clearly what happened. It's cut and dry. It's not debatable, it's not a big time QB call. It's a simple, easy call by the ref.

Well of course, I never said people should shut up and like it either. I was just stating the realities of the situation.

I swear you all forget the phantom roughing the passer calls Cam got his rookie year

[Chaos]

Remember that blow to the head call that Cam got against the Vikings that really wasn't? Judgment calls will bounce both ways.

What bothers me is the botched instant replay from the dolphins sideline catch. No excuse for that fug up when the ref goes under the hood. I would like to hear the NFL explain how lead official Scott Green doesn't understand the rule book.

Cam's neck is stronger than Brees's, so...

What a load this thread is, somebody crying about officiating after the breaks we have gotten the last two games. Give it a rest.

 

The Charles Clay reception on the sidelines?  How on earth was there enough visual evidence to overturn that?  The Wallace reception was just as dicey, but if ur not going to overturn that for us then the refs shouldn't have overturned the Clay catch for Philbin.  I've seen countless instances of WRs making catches like that being ruled incomplete because they didn't retain possession to the ground.

What about the leg whip on CJ vs the Pats?  The 2 Logan Mankins headbutts?  The last scuffle between Smith and Talib that got Talib benched?

The Vernon Davis non-fumble was by far the worst.  I don't understand how that wasn't a fumble.  Catch, clear possession, MULTIPLE football moves, MULTIPLE steps, and moving the ball upfield... thats a catch, run and fumble if I've ever seen one.

I understand the outrage. But it wasn't as obvious as the Brees hit. The ref that would have called it was directly behind Cam, and his head didn't really get knocked back.

 

 

The official had a bad angle. I don't like it, but if you watch the play you'll see that the guy simply couldn't see what happened.

 

The problem is that they shouldn't be in a bad position from the get go.

 

The ref to the left of the screen was "behind" Cam and couldn't see it. but what about this guy??

 

As seen in the next plays camera view... there are 2 refs back there....

 

And look at Newton and Wake. they are both looking up to the ref. I'm sure they both expected a flag... but nothing. And THAT ref I'm sure could see the hit.

I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin...

[mc52beast]

Saw a qb(white) get hit in the same fashion as Brees did when Brooks got flagged and no penalty was called... this ain't about race, it's about protecting the marquee names. Don't worry, Cam will be in that class very soon.

[GSO_Pantherz]

Didn't read this whole thread, but did an idiot make this out to be a race issue?
