Plus, he got hit but it didn't look like his bell was rung. Just a hard hit that smashed his helmet into his eye.I don't know that he "fell to the ground" walking to the sideline. There was a trainer already on the field walking towards him, who probably told him to get down, because if he walks off under his own power, the Panthers have to burn a timeout to get Anderson on the field.
Well-timed.Rookie running backs looking gassed today, that TD notwithstanding.
Fournette, McCaffrry, Kamara combined 34 carried for 90 yards.
Christian M. is more of a pass catcher, like that.Rookie running backs looking gassed today, that TD notwithstanding.

Getting hit hard does not necessarily mean he's concussed.Didn't he point to his head and fall to the ground walking to the sideline?
The protocol is a joke. Maybe it doesn't matter, anyway - but the NFL should just stop pretending.
Juuuuust a bit too soon.Rookie running backs looking gassed today, that TD notwithstanding.

Also, "pointing to his head" is the universal sign in most sports, including football, to the sidelines that you want to be taken out of the game. Cam wasn't signaling that his head was fucked up.Getting hit hard does not necessarily mean he's concussed.
Haven't seen the Saints secondary for the past few years?How the fuck do you give up that play?
It doesn’t, but getting destroyed, struggling to your feet, pointing to your head and then collapsing to your knees before you leave the field creates a presumption that something might be amiss.Getting hit hard does not necessarily mean he's concussed.
The way the trainer reacted he clearly didn't expect him to go down.I don't know that he "fell to the ground" walking to the sideline.

I don't think the bolded part happened like you portray it. He was jogging off the field and tapping his helmet. That's the sign to the sidelines that you want to come out of the game. He was met by a trainer before he reached the sideline, who probably told him to "get down." If Cam reaches the sidelines on his own, then they would have had to burn a timeout in order to get Derek Anderson into the game. It was smart of Cam to go down when he did.It doesn’t, but getting destroyed, struggling to your feet, pointing to your head and then collapsing to your knees before you leave the field creates a presumption that something might be amiss.
Right, but as I said above, in the context of the play as it unfolded and his reaction after - and the general shitiness of the NFL concussion protocol - it’s not unreasonable to ask questions.Also, "pointing to his head" is the universal sign in most sports, including football, to the sidelines that you want to be taken out of the game.

Thomas makes an incredible catch. "You just can't throw it any better."
Brees has been very good. Thomas has been fucking great.Huge conversion. Brees -> Thomas is magic today
I thought those were his hipster glasses? I get confused.Sean Payton using his grandmas glasses tonight
Thomas adjusting while the ball was in midair, going against his momentum to turn around and make that catch was incredible. Brees threw it to where Thomas could do something incredible.Threw him open, imo
