The Cam Bias- Precedence vs Evidence

[TheWiz]

 

1.) Cam talks to Referee early on about using the flag on the other team..... This is player- ref "fratinizing"... meaning that players and refs talk to each other before and after the game

2.)  2:40 - Cam gets driven into the ground after the ball is released. He believes a flag should've been thrown and gets in the face of the same referee. He obviously said something he shouldn't have said.

3.) 3:30- Cam goes to the referee and says, "I apologize man. Yes sir. Yes sir. It wont happen again." (Referee said he understand that he was frustrated.)

4.) 3:40- Cam publically apologizes for statements he made to the referee.

Whats the point of posting this. Well here's what we see historically:

Cam not getting the same calls as other quarterbacks. Cam complaining to the referees. But we also see that if Cam is in the wrong about something, he addressed it during the game, and after the game.

We also see that players/coaches and referees talk throughout the game. They talk before the game and they talk after the game. A lot of people are looking at the game footage to read Ed Hochuli's lips right after the play. This isn't necessarily the footage you need. Cam and Ed may have talked about this play a few times throughout the game.... but whatever he said, it garnered the reaction that Cam gave. Everybody complains to the refs about calls, but what needs not be established is that Cam (like other running QB's) does not get the same calls that other types of QB's get.

Marshal Faulk, Deion Sanders, and Michael Irvin were asked to comment on what they thought. Its unfortunate that they got off topic, but Marshal and Deion made great points:

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-gameday/0ap3000000541095/Should-Cam-Newton-have-received-a-personal-foul-call

Rule: Hitting a quarterback after he throws the ball is a penalty (safety concerns)

Rule: When a quarterback is leaving the pocket, he becomes a ball carrier.

Rule: Hitting any player late is a personal flag.

Now there is nothing "biased" about these rules. They seem to be straight forward. But every Panther's fan alive recognizes that Cam gets treated differently on the field and off the field (media). We shouldn't have to provide any evidence for this. What informs our opinion of bias is how the rules are used to benefit one group over another.

The leagues response was "There's no roughing the passer because the quarterback was out of the pocket."

I was listening to ESPN on the radio and I've noticed that a lot of journalists want to cast doubt on what Cam is saying. The reason they do this is because it's consistent with the biased narrative of Cam that the national media wants to promulgate. You don't have to believe in the "Black Quarterback Conspiracy" to see that Cam gets treated unfairly. The argument is made that Tom Brady and Peyton Manning would have gotten that call... but the fact is that Luke McCown would have gotten that call.

Cam Newton has been more than a model citizen during his tenure as our QB. There's no reason to bring into question his motives for saying what he said. He's not looking for special treatment. But if you're a QB, you play the game expecting to get the calls QB's get. Cam should play with the confidence and the expectation that he will be protected by the same rules.

Some are saying that Cam misheard Ed Hochuli. But even if that is the case, it doesn't change the fact that Hochuli chose NOT to throw a flag on a play less athletic quarterbacks get every single time.

currently setting fire to those mentions...

[TheRed]

Well Tim Brando sure does sound like a

You can tell just what kind of bias an individual has when they immediately have to reference a players college days over 5 years ago just to make some kind of flawed point present day about said player. The fact that these sort of individuals are considered sports "journalists" makes it even more unfortunate.

Alright guys time to digitally destroy Tim Brando. Who is this idiot?

[tiger7_88]

Just affirms what I've always known about Brando... he's a horrible douche bag.

[PandaPancake]

Boo these people that don't delete photos when quoting 

[Growl]

Tim Brando apparently shouldve consulted Ian Rappaport before making ignorant comments about our team and our QB.

Alright guys time to digitally destroy Tim Brando. Who is this idiot?

He used to be the studio host of the CBS College Football halftime show.

In the past has done play-by-play for SEC games on various networks.

He was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana.  I don't need to point out to you any further what THAT means, right?

[Nate Dogg]

Well, Brando is about to feel the wrath from Panther Nation.

I just gave him about 600 characters of FU.
