I think he was average, nowhere near as good as VM but a lot of those were from running plays. Early on in his career he struggled with stopping the run to the point that teams were running it at him.

I was going to be a dipshit and say "Now compare them to Watt" but lol Thomas had more tackles and more FF in fewer games

(JJ has them in sacks easily though)

Derrick Thomas sacked Dave Krieg 7 times in the same game, and on the last play of the game he had Krieg wrapped up for another sack but old Dave wriggled free and threw a game winning TD Seahawks won 17-16. Crazy poo poo

Cam Newton had nothing but great things to say about Peyton Manning after the game and seemed to respect the Denver team as a whole. When did the definition of "sportsmanship" grow and extend to encompass not only the team you're playing against but every dipshit in the media, all the obese fans at home, America itself, etc. etc.

Sports journalists are probably the biggest heaps of garbage in an already dying industry. They're lucky Cam didn't stand up and piss on the front row.

My biggest takeaway from the Superbowl is that "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser" is an incredible quote, and until I looked it up I thought Cam came up with it by himself which would have been awesome

You know the fact that he had that quote top of mind and ready to go means he was mentally preparing for a loss.

Holy poo poo it's like a real life electric football.

How the gently caress is the turf at Levi's so bad? Like, I get why places like Pittsburgh (overuse), Chicago (poor maintenance) or Houston (those loving pallets) have crappy surfaces but is it just bad design with Levi's or what?

The real answer is probably something to do with a poor or experimental base turf setup that either wasn't figured out or was never going to properly come together given the field's use.

My preferred answer is that York corrupts everything he touches.

Elway made the comparison of Von Miller to Thomas when the Broncos drafted him. Saying that Thomas was the most difficult defender he ever had to play against.

As great as it was to watch a guy with Thomas' ability play, even if it was for a division rival. My favorite story about Thomas was from that game in 1998 when Shannon Sharpe was saying his girlfriend's phone number when they would line up for a play. Thomas just kept getting more, more, and more pissed off the entire 4th quarter. The Chiefs defense just had a complete meltdown on the final drive of the game and Denver just walked into the end zone.

Why doesn't he have better cleats? Did the equipment guys get blindsided by the notoriously bad turf in Santa Clara? Is the turf wet from Jed York's tears? How is the defensive end able to push him? Should he not be slipping? Probably has stickem on his cleats.

Cam's failure to jump on the fumble looked really weird and bad live, and I honestly still don't know what to make of it. At first it looked like he thought it would bounce closer toward him, but he also hesitates a bit longer than you'd expect if that was the case. It's entirely possible it was just a deer-in-headlights/mental error kind of moment, which is what I'm leaning toward. Dude has never shied away from contact in his career, to the extent it took him like two years to figure out how to slide. I can't imagine he was really that scared of a hit (although he'd taken a lot of them that night). I dunno. He probably assumed he'd sound really dumb and/or get crucified if he admitted he'd just gone brain dead, so here we are.
