ESPN article re: Cam's lack of RTP calls with comps (must read)

[Montsta]

Great article to bookmark where the writer breaks down with pictures and gifs blatant missed calls against Cam (even one from the SB), and compares them to other QB's getting hit in a similar fashion. 

Also mentions how Cam has been hit 59 times in the pocket since 2014 and hasn't benefited from a single accepted RTP penalty, where someone hit a similar amount of times in that span (Drew Brees, for example) has drawn 10. Yes, TEN. 

If you think the refs haven't been screwing Cam over, you are out of your mind. Make sure you memorize the facts and stats in the article so that the next time some armchair dipshit talks to you about how Cam is just whining, you can layeth the smack down.

Great read. Thanks. 

[CRA]

you won't find that type article on NFL.com

but by the end of the day NFL released more "stats" showing nothing unusual is going on.  NFL pays attention to the narratives out there by ESPN

Historically the Panthers never got the calls they should. The NFL does play favorites.

Having a player as high profile as Cam finally brings to light the bias against certain teams and the coddling of certain players.

Good read. Cam has every right to be mad.

Thanks for sharing. 

Shame gif for the NFL.

God, I was so pumped up reading that article and then I had to go and read the comments.  I hate people sometimes.  I know the people who commented didn't even read the article, but I seriously don't understand what Cam's hat has to do with anything.

Wow, a good article by ESPN with actual facts... damn.

Don't ever, EVER read the comments below a Cam Newton article. It'll just piss you off and make you sad for America's future. 

What I do find interesting (and this can be a discussion for another time), is that the articles done on ESPNW (like articles on Bruce/Caitlin Jenner, for example) always have the comments disabled.

It is almost as though the women are smart enough to know that the dialogue below the article will not be constructive, but a hate filled shitfest so they turn them off, while the people that write these articles (like I posted above) know the first thing is going to be talking poo about Cam's hat and laptops but don't have the foresight to disable the comments. 

Life would be so much better without the comments section, it should be saved for Facebook and message boards.

The comments are cancer.

It doesn't piss me off anymore.  It's just like yep, same poo different day type of feel.

This and other reasons are why the NFL isn't really enjoyable to watch anymore for me. Even if the Panthers record were better and hadn't poo the bed in some games and won it would still be the same bs. How can you enjoy seeing the same poo done to black QB's decade after decade. Seriously prejudice is starting to rear it's ugly head again. Look back at Daunte Culpepper same type of QB not as fast, same result got destroyed any chance the D could get away with it. I'm sorry to pull the race card but Jesus people how blatant can it be.
