Must be nice to have NFL protection...

Must be nice to be a protected asset to the NFL. 

 

Aaron Rodgers is off limits. All defenses know this. Even when he is running the ball, you better be careful. Legal hits will result in flags.

The is no doubt that if that was Cam running the ball, it would have been a free shot on his head. Afterall, he is a runner.

Players wanting to take out Cam is the problem not the refs

The refs are just the problem by not calling it when it happens ... I don't even want it to happen though and the refs can't stop that ... if players want to cheap shot Cam they will ... would a flag make a season ender to Cam feel any better ? NO

The refs are condoning it by not calling it. I know they won't catch everything because they're human but when they're just not calling the ones even blind men catch, they become part of the problem.

For me, it's been fug the refs and fug the players who are doing this. These players don't like Cam either. It's sad their little feelings have been hurt so bad, that they're willing to seriously hurt an individual to try to "humble" him. 

If you want to "humble" him, then do it legally. They can't stop him, so they go the illegal route.  Fug the refs for condoning and allowing it, and fug these players who partake in it.

I'm actually fine with players on other teams not liking our players, especially given that teams tend to like you less when you beat them.

As to the protection, I go back to Ed Hochulu's "you're not old enough to get that call" comment, but I apply it equally to the franchise.

To put it in socioeconomic terms, the Panthers are middle class right now.   Winning a Superbowl moves you to upper middle class. Winning multiple Super Bowls gets you into the upper class. To be among the elite of the elite though, you have to both have a winning history and have been around for a while (i.e. "old money").

The Panthers are still "new money" and will remain so until more of a winning tradition is built.

At some point you have to think about the players

Cam Newton is more of a target to players than Rodgers, it has nothing to do with refs when you get down to it

Yes, but it's up to the refs to keep them in line.  That's something they're not doing and players know they can go after Cam.

Yup, people think the hits are a result of how Cam treats the defense but the truth is the hits are a result of the defense knowing the refs won't call them. Every defensive player in the league wants to light up every QB on a run like that no matter who he is, only difference is whether or not the refs allow it.

It's like I've said in this board before. Enough is enough, when they try to take out Cam one of our players needs to just put a super late blind side hit helmet to helmet on one of their defenders or get in there and push people around and poo. Fug this, and fug all of that nonsense. Take a stand, like I said before if teams are gonna target Cam we might as well become the bounty Saints or old school raiders. That way while the teams playing us will target Cam, they'll have to remember every game might be their last for a very long time.

      Our rookie class on offense looks promising

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think the Jags are picking ahead of us anyways, at least not if Lawrence plays the rest of the year (or most of it). Here are the very winnable games left for the rest of the teams ahead of us in the draft right now... Jags (2 wins) - Titans x2, Raiders, Jets, Colts Giants (2 wins) - Cowboys, Saints, Colts Titans (2 wins) - Jags x2, Colts Browns (2 wins) - Saints, (Dolphins if they sit Tua as it's 2nd to last game) Raiders (2 wins) - Jags, Saints Patriots (3 wins) - Colts, Rams (it's home this week, 1pm game, Rams on short week) Saints (3 wins) - Browns, Giants, Raiders Jets (3 wins) - Colts, Jags, (also Dolphins last week if no Tua) The Patriots are the only team there that doesn't play another one of these teams, and the Browns and Jets are the only others that don't play at least 2 of them. We're not beating the Chiefs or Eagles.  We're not winning road games against the Cardinals or Falcons with them fighting for playoff positioning (assuming the Cardinals aren't locked into their place by week 17).  I also, personally don't think we're beating the Bucs in either game. Which just leaves the Cowboys, we lose that game and we're picking Top 3 or 4 at worst, still a legit shot at #1 because as of right now, the Jags are the only 2 loss team that we'd lose the SOS tiebreaker to. Even if we beat the Cowboys, with how many times all those teams play each other, or have other winnable games, I think we still end up 4-6. Yea, if we end up beating the Bucs or have another surprise upset too, it will end up dropping us further back to the 10-12 range

      Best Offensive Line in Years

      By chbright · Posted

      yeah Frazier was my dude. strong nasty, technical C. lots of playing time. but got a RB for a few games this year and 3 mnore years after. oh and signed a RB long term this year too. brooks got to be damn good for that to be worth it now. and while i think he can be a bellcow, it make investing in all the RBs vs other area an issue. we have one of the better lines atm. if it was frazier at C, my goodness we would be set for a long while. this year has a 2 OC im looking at Jake Majors , and Bryce Foster (massive, nasty streak, really want)
