Should the Panthers defense respond in kind to teams that target Cam?

Obviously the refs aren't going to make calls for roughing the passer on Cam.  The more I think about it, the more emotional I get about the whole situation.  I think the Panthers defense should make a statement.  If opposing defenses make runs at Cam with no abandon, our defense should say "bump that" and take it to their QB.  Who cares if we get flags called on us, it's about making sure the other team know we aren't taking this bull anymore.

Uhm. No. I'm sure others feel differently, but not only is it a shifty thing to do to anyone, it would give the NFL that much more ammo to fug us over. I love that our team makes a big deal out of integrity on and off the field, and this would make our players just as dirty as the damn Broncos if they did that

We would have to actually pressure qbs to be in position to "respond" to anything.

Yes.  Eye for an eye.  Sends a message and will force the refs to either call it evenly, or not call it at at all for both teams, as it provides an in-game comparison that can't be ignored.  Keep being men of integrity on and off the field, but protecting your own by any means necessary is certainly within the realm of integrity.  JMO...

Really? Sell your soul for a win and a trophy? Wow.

More of a statement that this type of behavior is not penalized in any substantial way.  Couple of fines maybe and an admonishment or two, but the record books don't change. Bullies are going to bully until there is some sort of push back they can appreciate.

No Way in Hell.

We're better than that!

Imagine if our players did that and some guy was seriously injured / paralyzed.  Would you want that to be on one of our guy's consciences just for the sake of making a point, "getting revenge"

Panthers stand for integrity.   I want them to keep it that way.

    • I’ve turned from a staunch detractor to him now having my 100% support. 1. He turned the worst o line in the league in to a top 10 unit in 1 offseason. Incredible.  2. Contracts to Horn and Hubbard. Reward your ride or die homegrown talent. Neither contract was way out of line for market value.  3. All of the talent he has added are intelligent, high floor types who love competing.  4. He understands that an org lives and dies off of the draft. This was the very first draft that I can remember since… ever where the franchise didn’t make a boneheaded trade and/or waste a high pick on a project tweener. No. It was Tepper sitting by almost completely mum, watching Dan orchestrate Dan’s draft…. picking intelligent high floor dudes from big name schools who showed up to play every Saturday and loved competing. It just felt right.  5. He has shown no reservation in cutting bait on guys that he sees as not having what it takes. This is really big one. It’s what the good teams do. Without it, you get the ‘coach’s guys’. Complacency. Stagnation. All these dudes needs to watch their backs.  I see him building a young core who have displayed NFL level ability. For the first time in a really long time it feels like the captain of the ship actually knows what he is doing. 
    • Jake Guentzel was a pretty elite  player and he fit us very well. And we’ve only had two offensive elite forwards under Rod. That’s Jake and Miko. Sample size is pretty small and I feel like your arguments biased. We are going to get an elite player or two In the off-season, we can be the judge of that this time next year.
    • Defense is overall bottom 5 without a doubt.  We literally do no have any depth on any position for the defense.  We are once again a couple of injuries away from being complete garbage again.   I assume next draft will be defense heavy.
