Indeed, there are many ways to throw an incompletion to a bad receiver. Cam’s challenge is to try to find ways to make positive plays with the teammates he’s got. Throwing them balls that bounce off their hands will not get it done.

Given that calls don’t change 99% of the time, what issues would arise from players shutting the fuck up?

I’ve officiated national championship games (for a sport that you may or may not think is fake and dumb, but whatever) and I definitely would not endorse a “don’t talk to the refs” rule. I always gave players a pretty long leash to jaw at me because honestly if I can’t take some abuse in a situation where I hold all…

agreed but if he is going to be an asshole this is probably one of the better ways for him to go about it

It is not the “fault” of poor athletes that they are poor athletes. If you are the captain and leader of a team filled with poor athletes, yes you encourage them to train and practice and try to be the best they can be, but during competition you have a choice - continue to unreasonably expect greatness from them, or…

Ted Ginn couldn’t catch that pass either and you fucking know it. But so what? They could’ve had better receivers than they have, but THEY DON’T. In the wise words of my fellow argument-loser Donald Rumsfeld, you go to war with the dog turds you have ...

Honestly I don’t see any problem with a ref turning his back. Why do players even bother with confronting them? They’re not changing the damn call. They hold all the power. Sure, this guy seems like a showboating petty tyrant, but turning around is a pretty nonconfrontational way to send the simple message “don’t…

Oh shit you’re right! If the Panthers had just traded a sack of turds for Antonio Brown and Julio Jones they probably would be enjoying a bye week and headed for the Super Bowl!!!! Why didn’t they fucking THINK of that??

No, Mark Duper and Mark Clayton and Vance Johnson and Ed McCaffrey and Sterling Sharpe and Greg Jennings did not complain. Jeremy Kerley and Devin Funchess, on the other hand, may not have complained - but they also didn’t make the catch all that often. You are making my point for me.

You also have to know your receivers. Switching sports because I know it better - if Andre Iguodala throws an insane no-look bullet to a hard-cutting Draymond Green two steps from the rim, it’s likely a good pass as Draymond will probably not drop it and will probably finish the dunk/layup. The same pass to Zaza…

Reupping this comment I posted to the article with a million exclamation points:

1. It was a really really great speech.

He needs WRs that aren’t scared of his bullet passes.

(What I actually said about Delly is that he’s lacking in “some combination of self-awareness and compassion.” What that means, to spell it out for you yet again, is that the guy either keeps making the same mistake of very wrongly thinking that he can do things like this without risking injury to his opponents [this…

You enjoy complimenting yourself, huh?

Stephen Miller did exactly what he came to do - goad the liberal journalist into doing something that would allow him to play victim. Trump world is cheering Miller on wildly.

I disagree with your observations about basketball as well as your grammatical choices, and I don’t think you and I are going to have any further discussion that’s productive.

yes, I do ... I’m an idiot

If you require intent to injure for an ejection then Rudy Tomjanovich is basically the only person who’s ever earned an ejection. The NBA, though, has adopted the better policy of discouraging, through the threat of ejection, plays like this where a player does something that so clearly and unnecessarily risks injury…

I’m just glad that it was the dirty-play apologist who first openly acknowledged the glaringly obvious racial subtext.
