Ron has stated many times he has talked to the league about hits Cam takes. I don't know what all you people expect from him. There really isn't much more he can do besides make the situation worse 

It's simple. We all understand there are avenues to deal with these things- but nothing is being done on the refs part from week to week. Nobody expects it to be a magic bullet and instantly Cam will start to get calls. But Ron needs to make a public stink about this 1) to bring the public's attention to what's going on (not just our fan base. If cam bitches, we all get it. Other fan bases think he's a crybaby for it though. If Ron echos the sentiment it will give it more validity) and I got a few more points but i don't wanna wall of text y'all to death.

Lol, these are the same men--along with DG--who could barely be bothered to surround Newton with offensive talent. They see time and time again, their franchise QB...Rookie of the Year...MVP...Superstar QB get pressured and 6 years in they have refused to draft or sign FA Olinemen to protect their best player.

Of course, the NFL doesn't care to protect Newton...the men charged most with protecting him continue to march him out there at the beginning of the season with subpar talent on the Oline...why should the NFL care if the Panthers don't?

One of the best interior O-lines in the league, the #1 offense in the league last year, yet they 'barely bother' to surround him with talent? Come now

I have said this since the super bowl

then the Denver game when Ron stood there with his arms folded

it is inexcusable on every conceivable level

can anyone see be Bellinchek do this or Mike McCarty

JR is one of the most influential owners in the league. 

 

He's not.  Exhibit A-2013 owners meeting.

Rivera has backed Cam and always tried to deflect any criticism coming Cam's way. He will get behind this as well. Rivera has always been one of Cam's biggest supporters. Posters acting like Rivera doesnt care about or  do everything to protect Cam dont have a clue.

[Growl]

far cry from Howie Long and Michael Strahan saying it's Cam's fault for dabbing and that he needs to shut up and eat his humble pie already.

Yeah... I imagine how stern those talks went.

"Guys, we're fed up. Can you pretty please just start making calls for Cam?"

"No".

"Well, that's not right but I understand. Thanks for listening, guys".

Quite frankly, sometimes going bat shot crazy on rhe side,Inez and taking 15 yards for it is necessary

Bruce Arians just a few weeks ago called out the refs in his press conference

He said he expect a bullshit explanation, similar to what Cam just said. He's heard it all, and it's all bullshit at this point

[PantherPhann89]

I agree...

[RoaringRiot]

I've said it before....it's just shocking that there's no explanation nor any accountability when these mistakes happen. Just carry on...

[FootballLivesMatter]

Dungy is hell of a man.

Do it publicity. Call them all out. Take the fines, and tell the press about the fines me and the organization received for protecting our QB for the lack of protection the rules provide for every other QB.

That's not going to do anything though except make fans like you and others here feel better about Ron, and get the league to be pissed at Ron and the team for making them look bad.

dorsey was going crazy on the sideline but not rivera...he needs to raise hell when this stuff happens and I don't see it

And risk getting thrown out of the game or a penalty that will ultimately hurt the team? There's not much Ron can do on the field. I see him argue calls passionately many times, he doesn't have to run on the field and make a big fiasco out of it.

They are just saying what they are told to, I imagine.
