The worst hit ever on a QB was on Cam Newton against the Denver Broncos, the next season game after their superbowl run, the strong safety torpedo himself directly at Cam’s head and hit him with full impact, he grabbed his head with both hands and stayed in the game although suffering an obvious concussion. And nothing was really done but a fine if I remember correctly, if that would’ve been Tom Brady to get hit like that, the defensive player probably suspended for 3-6 games. In my opinion, It’s when Denver had the number 1 Defense in the NFL for a few seasons and they were sending a message to Cam who they just beat in SB, but they never attempted to hit Tom Brady in the same fashion, whom they would meet in AFC Championship games. Cam Newton and North Carolina were never the same after that hit. It was the time when there was a huge difference on the hits a large Black quarterback in Cam would receive and the defenses were not penalized accordingly like when they hit other QB’s.

[@darendenson]

I gave you a thumbs up. I'm black but can't blame how hard he got hit on his color. I just don't know enough.

Maybe he didn't need to lead with the forearm, but it's easy to dissect this play after the fact. In real time, with both of them barreling at each other full speed, this stuff happens quickly. James is right that once guys start overthinking things on the field, in the moment, is when mistakes happen, and you risk injuring yourself. Guys lead with the forearm or shoulder all the time, but angles change fast in football. That doesn't necessarily mean it was dirty.

[@robertbruce9172]

I don't have a problem with 3 game suspension. But i mean but if anything like this happens with him. He needs kicked out of NFL. That being said stop the sliding when you cross the line of scrimmage their running backs.

[@jasonfenner360]

12:25 Hilarious! Stop him! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Benjamin-fc9ww]

The same way it’s the defenders responsibility to ease up it’s also the QBs responsibility to slide on time.

[@ITxHURTSxWHENxIP]

All this BS about Trevor sliding late is nonsense! Guy went after him with braced forearm straight into the chin which is unprotected with intent to hurt him. This guy has history of playing dirty and he should have been suspended rest of season and playoffs with no pay.

[@chaapohoe]

I guess he told you he did it on purpose and w the intend to hurt him huh? You sound goofy saying that, yes it was an illegal/dirty hit

[@ITxHURTSxWHENxIP]

@ Hit Caleb same dirty hit after play was over, punched a guy, elbowed Carr to the chin (same as Trevor), nailed Pollard while he was out of bounds… hmm almost like there’s a trend here 🤔 Ohhh he also stated on record he HATES QBs

[@chaapohoe]

@ first of all caleb was in bounds and the hit was legit, and elbowed carr? Must of not been w the texans lol but so what if he said he hates qbs i mean we can all say wtv we want and doesnt mean that we're right or wrong

[@holofan4994]

I love Runyan as an Eagles fan, but his statement is wild when there's footage of him planting his feet then launching himself after the play at a linebacker lol.

[@g.v.fitmason1326]

James is a True Football Player🫡

[@k-specs]

He did not hit Caleb late

[@ramos2092]

Dramond is trash. Losing him isn't a big deal.

[@Bill757]

If your daughter's boyfriend accidentally, with no intent, hit her, how would you feel? No intent. Everything's a but unless it happens to you. At what point does a cheap shot like that deserve more than a 3 week suspension? What about not getting up off the field? Find out you can't walk in the morning? Has that ever happened? Idiots! No intent.

[@darendenson]

Trevor is a man unmonst men. If my daughter was half as tuff as he. I would be going to her to get my ol lady off me😂

[@darendenson]

Stii have you a thumbs up. I get it.

[@beez991]

I watched his other plays. He is a dirty player🤷‍♀️ Many times they call players, "dirty" i disagree" but in this case I do. There is a difference between the the hit to Caleb when they played the Lions, that was clean. This was not he lead with forearm. He knows dam well he doesn't need to hit the QB that hard to take him out. Suspended him for being stupid.

[@darendenson]

I live in and love Jacksonville. Love jaguars. I agree that hit was over the line. Not as much as some say.. just my opinion. He should have gotten suspended and for about that amount of time. The team should have responded like they did. He did apologize. I can't dismiss that. It is football though. Funny thing Trevor has yet to complain. He is a real Baller. I believe. I believe. Just me going off of what I have seen. If Trevor had it to do all over again he would have dove helmet first, shoulder pads squared towards the first down marker. . Just saying he will be just fine. Physically and mentally. Thats my Quarterback man

[@user-xg1pp4xm8u]

If you watch the play dude use his forearm to hit, as well as the HIT causing Law to hit the turf hard too. My thing we seem PattyMahomes do it, Fake slide, they need to talk about this off-season it’s not fair for a Defensive player hesitation to see weather or not they going fully with a slide. Both can be right and wrong at the same time.

[@skylangford6083]

Mistake #1: never ever apologize for a dirty hit on an opposing player. Own it and wear it as a badge of honor Mistake #2: never ever voice your support or embrace that player and the dirty play in the open but instead do it behind closed doors and in private.

[@jimbochoo6623]

Why do they call it "protecting your QB" when the QB is already asleep..

[@freemypurplesoulchannel4337]

1 or 2 games let’s be real

[@THE_BEAR_JEW]

He led with the forearm. What are we talking about here defending this guy?

[@sthomas730]

It was a late slide though

[@brandonhallam51]

We banning tackling with Arms now? You guys are soft.

[@THE_BEAR_JEW]

@@brandonhallam51 Bro, you're soft too lol. You're not on the field. They are. You're here typing away on KZbin just like everyone else. Stop talking like you're "hard" cause you're ok with an illegal hit. He was suspended for a reason.

[@BoldenFMA]

​@@brandonhallam51c'mon man, you're not remedial. No one said anything about banning tackling with arms. His intent wasnt to tackle (head across the target, leading with shoulder and wrapping up). That was just a cheap hit. Personally I think 1 or 2 games is enough. 3 is excessive, especially without pay. Actions have consequences though.

[@matthewsteele5942]

It wasn't targeting or helmet contact. TL sliding at the last minute brought it upon himself. The defender has every right to defend that 1st down. The ground caused that concussion. The guy shouldn't be suspended.

[@alanmenchaca8991]

A player who has not been ejected or suspended before. Define repeat offender.

[@jonsnipe5484]

He on film doing dirty plays

[@arkansasstorm]

There is a video of hitting brady in the throat. On the same video, he hit pollard out of bounds and he slammed caleb williams as well.

[@bojangle2213]

did you not listen? 1:19

[@bkm4926]

Fined twice already this season plus multiple times in previous season. He is repeat offender

[@ritchieozbourne6131]

Thank you

[@justingagnier1394]

If you can’t hit a qb then they shouldn’t be able to run. The optics thing is the whole reason why they’re doing it.

[@andrewlee1573]

When the QB slides, you can't knock the QB out. You are aware of the rule when the QB slides you are giving yourself up. This was not a sack or a Mahomes running up the line.

[@devthehitman8689]

Should the fake slide move be a fine then that would resolve the issue QBs must held accountable

[@sidelinesarah]

It wasn’t a “late hit on Caleb”… he wasn’t fined, he wasn’t flagged for a late hit. Demeco Ryans in a press conference said he submitted that play to the league (probably because the Chicago Bears sideline reacted, kicked, and swarmed him…) it was found not late. Demeco said he submitted it because he wanted to make sure that there wasn’t any grey areas when coaching. Before this Azeez has never been suspended or ejected. Probably should do you research Chase 😉😘

[@GrownManStyle5988]

The league ain't having no more Suhs

[@cmcgccjsl]

Three games is ridiculous. He doesn't get three games for that hit on half the QBs in the League.

[@jayceejackson3584]

He absolutely had intent to inflict pain. Notice how he led with his forearm to the head.

[@mohamedelamin4324]

James always the voice of reason

[@tonyortiz3350]

I’m 50/50 with this because it’s a hit in a sliding qb but at the same time you see mahomes pump fake dudes all the time because they don’t want to give that late hit and he takes off for extra yards so I don’t think it’s cool but at the same time wth was he supposed be o do if Lawrence decides to keep running is all I’m saying

[@kes9684]

Sorry but ive seen josh allen fake a qb slide and go for td, what are defenders supposed to do, as soon as you out the pocket and running then its on you, otherwise dont run it

[@mikemanolo]

JJ talking that ish. Let AR take that hit, his entire tune changes 😂😂

[@arlenem9697]

I completely disagree with James. Once the quarterback starts to slide feet first, the defender needs only to touch the quarterback.

[@neighborhoodmingo5449]

Nobody knows about or heard of this guy unless he's doing a dirty hit on someone, that should tell you everything u need to know he's just a dirty player simple as that

[@Kinzokumen_JEEB]

Thats not true at all...

[@guero-22]

He’s actually a well respected linebacker. Niners fans were very sad to see him go and the Texans have loved him since his first training camp
