For very young or relatively new football fans http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/greg-little-jersey-authentic , the idea of a choreographed touchdown celebration is a foreign idea that befuddles the mind - players celebrating in dance, all in unison or busting a move that was practiced and well thought out?Preposterous! Throw a flag! Unsportsmanlike conduct!I would hope for your sake that, first of all, you don't watch football with these "negative nellies," because that could very easily ruin your football watching Sunday. Second of all, I would hope that you've at least tried to indulge said individuals in a couple of YouTube videos depicting celebrations from an era where a touchdown shimmy was expected, and not penalized.The art of the touchdown dance is slowly turning into a NFL artifact, relegated to those few instances of a Victor Cruz salsa dance or (until this season) a well-executed field-goal post dunk by Jimmy Graham. The No Fun League National Football League decided that celebrating was disrespectful and equivalent to taunting. While there is a line that shouldn't be crossed when celebrating a touchdown, no other sport blows the whistle as quickly as the NFL on "the line being crossed" during the post-score rejoicing.Years ago, though, we were lucky enough to bear witness to the "Golden Age" of touchdown celebrations. Choreographed or spontaneous Will Grier Jersey , the dances were fun, exciting, and added flair and passion to America's favorite sport. From team dances to individual efforts, using props, fans, and anything else players could get their hands on, the touchdown dance was, quite simply put, part of the game. Kids looking up to NFL athletes not only admired their playing talent, but also their ability to razzle and dazzle after a big touchdown.And so, while we don't get to appreciate them to the fullest extent these days - thanks http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/christian-miller-jersey-authentic , Roger - we can still remember fondly some of the greatest touchdown celebration artists in the history of football. SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — While Jimmy Garoppolo recovered from a torn left ACL, his backups took center stage during the 49ers‘ minicamp.The 49ers coaching staff allowed Garoppolo to participate in seven-on-seven passing drills but not 11-on-11 team drills. So backup quarterbacks C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens split time with the starters.Those two are competing to be the 49ers’ No. 2 quarterback behind Garoppolo next season. Of the two, Beathard has played particularly well this offseason, said coach Kyle Shanahan.“C.J. has had a hell of a camp,” Shanahan said Wednesday. “You can’t fully know how much better he has gotten until game time when you know they can tackle him, but C.J. has gotten more and more comfortable, more automatic. He knew the offense right when he got here and now, in his third year, he has a lot more reps than he did last year.”Beathard started five games in 2018 after Garoppolo tore his ACL against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 23. In five starts, Beathard threw eight touchdown passes Jordan Scarlett Jersey , seven interceptions, passed for 1,252 yards, posted a quarterback rating of 81.8 and lost all five games. During his fifth start, an 18-15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Beathard injured his right wrist and did not play the rest of the season.The 49ers traded up to take Beathard in the third round of the 2017 draft. Through two seasons in the NFL, he is 1-9 and his passer rating is 74.6.Beathard said he believes the quarterback competition during minicamp has brought out the best in him. “I really do,” he said. “Anytime you have competition, especially from good players, it makes you better.”Mullens has responded to the challenge, too.“The biggest thing is just playing decisive football David Montgomery Jersey ,” Mullens said. “How quickly can you make your decisions? How quickly can you skip a read to get to the next read because you know it’s going to be open? That’s one thing that helps me play my best. Throughout camp, I’ve just tried to be quick on my decisions, and I think it has helped.”Mullens signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2017 and became their starting quarterback after Beathard injured his wrist in 2018. Mullens started the final eight games of the season, passing for 2,277 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He posted a quarterback rating of 90.8.Of all the quarterbacks who have started 16 or fewer games in the NFL, only Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield — the first pick of the 2018 draft — had a higher passer rating than Mullens last season. Mayfield’s rating was 93.7.“(Mullens and Beathard) have both proven they can play in this league,” Shanahan said. “We’re going to have to make a tough decision at the end of preseason to which one we want to give that No. 2 job. You don’t get to compete much during the season. There’s not enough reps. You hope Jimmy stays healthy so it’s irrelevant who’s the No. 2 guy. But the No. 2 guy does get a lot more reps in practice (than the No. 3 guy), so that’s going be very important for them.”The 49ers expect to keep all three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster for the regular season. So the competition may continue after training camp.Beathard and Mullens like competing against each other. They even golf together every weekend.“A little weekly tradition,” Mullens said. “We’re always having fun. Competition is fun.”
