Not lowered his head/shoulder into him? Live full speed my reaction was easy PF, so was McDonough's and Gruden. That is called a PF 99 out of 100 times.
Cam and Gronk rules. They are obviously treated differently. Gronk, I'm biased. Cam? I don't give a crap. But he's treated differently. Is it just that he complains about it? Because it's patently unfair.
That shortchanges Ozzie Newsome quite a bit. If anything, it's the Texans who will be closest to them in cap hell.
And there but for the grace of Gisele Bundchen go we. If Tom Brady at any point had said "I want Flacco money", he'd have it.
Someone please get Jordan Reed off the field before he dies out there.
Never mind, took care of it himself.

That was helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver. Uncalled. It's not just Cam. These officials are very inconsistent.
He's got a busted wing and his concussed brain is out there transporting him from the football field to the boxing ring.
These players must take some kind of speed that along with playing a physical game makes them lose it. Remember when Bart Scott picked up the flag and threw it out the back of the end zone? I'm supposed to believe he was sober?
Seems like maybe he thought it was better than quitting on his stool. Better for him. Not his team. But he went out like a freaking man!
Challenges should be like in tennis: You win it, you keep it. You get two for the game.
Also, I hate those types of late-hit calls. The guy's running down the sideline, you have to stop him from, you know, getting a touchdown. If he's not already out of bounds - like, has landed a foot out of bounds - then when you hit him, it shouldn't be a flag. Particularly if you just push him out of bounds rather than put your weight into him for a big hit. If someone's running the football, the defenders have a job to do.

Not going to matter, but that was a brutal timeout with 2:29 to go by Washington. Carolina would have had to snap 1st Down before the 2 minute warning and you could use your 2 timeouts after the 2 minute warning. Now you are looking at 4th down being snapped with 1:15 instead of 1:45 to 1:50.
He has a career W/L of 130-100 or a 0.565 winning percentage. Alex Smith, Andy Dalton, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Tony Romo and Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Big Ben, Russell Wilson are just some QBs who have a better percentage. Great fantasy football player. Not a winning QB.

Super Bowl winning QB with a winning record isn't a winning QB. That's some A level analysis. He managed to not win his way up to the top of most all-time QB records, too. This is some of the worst analysis I've seen on this site, or did I click on a Yahoo sports article's comments by mistake.
what's your definition of a "winning" QB? Record above .500? SB title? Leading the league in yards 7 times? top 2 among active players in AV?
No one's saying he's Brady or Rodgers, but "overrated shithead" is pretty harsh for a guy with his resume.

Who's also done a ton for his community and from everything I've ever heard is a really good teammate and genuinely decent human being.
Awesome. Beautiful counterpoint champ.
So the 0.565 winning percentage doesn't mean anything. Lets focus on the one arbitrary season where he managed to finally make his lone Superbowl appearance and won due to a defense pick-6. I never said he sucked. He's overrated. He's 62-59 outside of his comfy dome.
He's 4th on all time loses by a QB and he has a realistic chance of being #1 by the time he retires. But hey, he won one Superbowl.
All time stats are fun. Where's he rank in terms of TDs and yards? I agree though, he's a terrible defensive back for a QB and his teams give up way too many points. Totally on him.
Two numbers: 26.5 and 6. The first is the average defensive DVOA ranking for the Saints over the last six years. The second is the average offensive DVOA ranking for the Saints over the last six years. The guy can't play defense, and when your defense is among the very worst in the league year in and year out, it's hard to do much better than .500.
He isn't Brady or Manning or Rodgers, but he's as good or better than just about anyone else over the last dozen years.
If he plays long enough to be #1 in losses, he'll have also played long enough to be first overall in TD passes, total completions and total yards.
What's your point here, exactly? What makes a "winning" QB?
QB winning percentage is on a par with pitching winning percentage in terms of usefulness. And even though you're using it in a foolish attempt to justify calling him overrated, you still haven't explained why, in your words, he's a shithead
This is what it feels like to have to defend Tony Romo to dumbshit Cowboys fans. Feel my pain.
It's funny and it hurts, all at the same time.
The "Tony Romo Gets a Bad Rap Fan Club", population: us.
My nephew gave me his hot take on the situation on Saturday: He said Romo is garbage. I then proceeded to rip him a new one for the next 30 minutes. I died a little inside that day.
At least Romo was a jerk to national sweetheart Carrie Underwood. I'm still trying to find out what fly Drew Brees ever swatted.
Perhaps his association with AdvoCare? It's a stretch but I can't think of any other reason.
Maybe NyQuil didn't help him sleep as well as Brees seemed to imply it would. What a cad!
