Good article chronicling the last year for Cam: http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2011/11/3/2532406/cam-newton-panthers-rookie-of-the-year

"There's just something about him," a Panthers teammate said after one game this year. "Some guys have that, and some guys don't." We praise "intangibles" in less talented players, because that's all there is to praise. But it's the intangibles in an athlete like Cam that give the sports world something really special.

Best quote in the article. So appropriate, the thread title being what it is.

we are salivating. Texans D are gonna take em behind the woodshead. Your o-line is so porous. Wade can get through those fat holes in that line.

I think we could just play our TE with no wideouts (we don't really even have wideouts cause Jacoby drops shits and Walters is a bit slow though).

I'm kidding though. I feel bad. And I love Colt. But man the browns O looks bad. And Peyton being a bitch doesn't help. Cut him if he keeps crying, not worth big money if ARIAN FOSTER doesn't get paid. Your defense is pretty good though. Thats something to build on.

He said BASTARDS!

why is it that whenever someone discredits the niners they say "well look at the division they play in!". we're 6-1 and we've played 1 game against an NFC west opponent. how does our 6-1 record have anything to do with the NFC west? if you want to say we've had a weak schedule (we haven't) then whatever but it has nothing to do with our division

i wish i got paid good money to be a stupid fucking talking head analyst who has no idea wtf he's talking about.

--NERD RANT--

True but you also must remember after that confrontation Starscream throws Megatron's busted carcass out of AstroTrain where he was left to die if it wasn't for Unicron.

Even then Megatron became Galvatron and a slave to Unicron.

Then the Autobots ultimately defeated the Decepticons and Unicron.

Also Optimus Prime does return later.

--END NERD RANT--

I was so shocked when they started killing off Transformers in the movie.
I watched the show religiously and no one ever died.

I was shell shocked as a kid very sad day for me.
 
The return of optimus prime is so corny yet so great and Skylynx had a great voice. In conclusion, I'm just saying Rodimus sucks.
 
Transformers have the most banal naming convention of all time. Never seen an episode nor the movies, thankfully.


Packers win this game 31 27 by the way. Book it.

You are allowed to make fun of the ponies shit because that is lame.

But no bad mouthing the Transformers. The animated movie was one the highlights of the last millennium.
 
not sure how i feel about the bears/eagles game on monday night. either the bears win or we get blown out, there's no in between. our shit offensive line has not traveled well for road games. and if we fall behind early gg.

but there's always hope that lovie's 3-1 vs andy reid since 2007, and the bears always play ron mexico tough. so we will see.
 
Matt Forte thinks Bears are “grinding me into a pulp”

On the field, Matt Forte has been the Bears’ best player this season. Off the field, he has rarely missed an opportunity to complain about his contract.

Forte’s latest complaint is that the Bears seem willing to break down his body by making him a workhorse back, but they’re not willing to pay him like a workhorse back.

“The running back position is the most physically demanding on the field,” Forte told Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times. “Everyone acknowledges that. So to continue to give me the touches I’ve had since my rookie year but not award me a long-term contract sends the message that you’re OK grinding me into a pulp.”

Forte is right, in the sense that the Bears have no long-term investment in Forte and therefore aren’t thinking about keeping Forte healthy in the long term. What the Bears want is for Forte to help them win now, which is why they’ve given him 124 carries and 38 catches this year, which puts him on pace for 370 total touches this season.

But Forte also seems resigned to the fact that the Bears have more leverage than he does.

“There’s nothing I can do about it,” Forte said. “It’s up to them. They hold the contract extensions and the franchise tags in their hands. It’s kind of getting old right now. Every time you talk to somebody, ‘How come they’re not paying you, man?’ I have no idea. I feel like if it was anybody else on any other team, I think they would have rewarded their player.”

So far, all of Forte’s complaints don’t appear to be a distraction in the Bears’ locker room. But it can’t be good for any team to have its best player so unhappy. This has the potential to get ugly.

I am not sure I have ever seen a player complain about getting to much work, usually it is the opposite.

Assuming the Eagles run defense still sucks ass (it didn't against Dallas) then the Bears could run all over them with Forte. I think it will be tough for the Bears to throw if they don't get establish the run.

And Vick has been turnover prone this year too so that is the other thing the Bears need to win on.

Run the ball and capitalize on the Eagles mistakes with turnovers seems to be the recipe for beating them.

I am most interested in how much and how Reid tries to run the ball.

If he was smart he would run against us. Our normally stout run defense has seemed to abandon us this year for whatever reason. The Bears run defense played well recently against AP and the depleted bucs backfield, but has been pretty subpar most of the year. LeSean McCoy could cause us problems if he gets to the 2nd level. We've got 2 very inexperienced safeties starting too, so it's hard to feel good going into the game about the defense.

That said the Bears have always defended Vick pretty well in the past, so that's my glimmer of hope going into the game. And Forte has been a stud all season, so I see that continuing as long as Mike Martz decides to run the football, so hopefully we don't fall behind big early.

Did the Bears offer him an extension, or just not a big enough one? It does suck for him, but I still wouldn't give him a huge extension. They should give him something, just not CJ or AP money.

Eagles run D has played well two weeks in a row against the Skins and against the Cowboys. Still I am not ready to believe they have it figured out and fixed.

Skins great start was a fluke so any stats and rankings they had accumulated can be thrown out. They couldn't do anything against the Eagles but I will chalk that more up to the Skins stinking than the Eagles fixing their own problems.

Cowboys game was impressive. But of course the Eagles jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead so that forced the Cowboys to pass more than maybe they would have liked. And Murray still gained 76 yards rushing.

Now Forte is an elite RB who if the Eagles stop I will start to believe Juan figured something out (it only took 5 games!).

As for the other points, Vick has been turnover prone but a lot of his fumbles and interceptions have come off of bad OLINE, tipped passes, and non stop blitzing/hits/sacks. A turnover is a turnover but I don't see Vick throwing to the wrong spots or making bad reads. Its not the same as Grossman for example literally throwing the ball into double triple coverage.

My biggest worry is the same one you listed. If Reid continues to run the ball and gives McCoy 20-25 carries, with Vick scrambles mixed in, and maybe even 5-10 carries between Brown/Lewis the Eagles win. It keeps Fore off the field, the Eagles D rested and fresh, and the offense has already shown to work so much better with a consistent run game.

And McCoy is playing so well right now that even when there is no hole or the defenders are already in the backfield he cuts and makes people miss to get positive yards. Having Peters back to slow down Peppers is huge also.

I think this is a game the Eagles should win if they stick to a run game. If not then they will force Vick to pass against a D he struggled mightily against last year.

I don't blame him. He is being run into the ground without getting paid for it. Same way a WR might complain about returning punts when he is making way less than he should.

w/o knowing the details it's hard to say. I'm pretty sure though that Joe Football Fan is more angry at Chris Johnson than he is sympathetic to Matt Forte.
 
I look at it this way. Forte is under contract. He turned down an extension with something like $14 million guaranteed up front. If he wants to play ball, then we franchise him for 2 years and let him walk. By then we will have gotten 6 years of solid service from him, and his best days will be behind him. Unless you have Adrian Peterson, I don't think you pay crazy money to RBs.

I do understand Forte's position. He's better than CJ, Gore, and DeAngelo Williams, but just because other franchises overpaid for the position, I don't think the Bears should follow suit. We've got too many holes in our roster, and the team is old as fuck. There's going to be major rebuilding going on in a few years. No need to get stuck with an albatross contract in the event he gets hurt or something.

Has Forte mentioned how much he wants? I agree that you can't pay him or any other back as much money as Tenn just paid. AP seems to be still running hard even after his contract. CJ has shut it down.

I think him and his agent want like AP or CJ money which is unreasonable.

3. Indianapolis Colts/Jim Irsay: The team pays just $250,000 a year in rent on the three-year-old Lucas Oil Stadium, while the city of Indianapolis covers all operating and maintenance expenses. The deal allows Irsay to keep one of the lowest debt percentages in the league.

I thought as part of the new CBA teams cant tag the same player in back to back years.
 
I love that Florio took the positive comment from Finley "I'd be cool with them tagging me," buried it, and hammered on the "there is nothing to do in Green Bay" comment.

Christ that guy is a cunty twat. Short people are truly the worst.

I was in a conference all day yesterday, catching up on this shit this morning

No you can use the franchise tag 2 years in a row. After that the player is free to walk.

That is good to know, the other day the news in Philly was saying the Eagles could only control DJax rights for one more season.
 
Just two games into Tebow’s audition, Broncos coach John Fox already sounds frustrated with the debate surrounding his quarterback. More tellingly, Fox sounds frustrated with the blame Fox is taking for Tebow’s struggles.

“The goofy thing is, it’s almost like if he doesn’t have success it will be anybody’s fault but his. It’s almost that kind of polarizing thing,” Fox told Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times. “They’ll say it could be his supporting cast, or the type of plays.

“At the end of the day, we are what we are. We’re doing everything we can to win, and we’re finding out about a young quarterback, good, bad or indifferent.”

Wow, Fox never said anything this honest in Carolina. Rarely revealed what he was truly thinking.

It's especially weird for me to read that because, remember, this is the guy that stood loyally by Jake Delhomme as he led his team (and Fox's tenure as Carolina's coach) into the abyss. Maybe he's decided he's not gonna let that happen to him again...

John Fox only has John Fox to blame for his meltdown in Carolina. He didn't take the Cardinals seriously in a game they should have won.
