Article: It's still OK to clobber Cam Newton's head, apparently

[Saca312]

Sorry, last thing I'll post tonight (probably), but just found this article:

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/11/nfl-cam-newton-penalties-referees-rams-aaron-donald-hit

This covers most of the hits Cam took today.

Just overall disappointed in the league right now.

Beyond disappointed. 

Contacted 200+ times, zero calls. But cam is getting the same treatment and protection as other. Right...

In other shocking news, the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

Like I said, if the refs aren't gonna protect Cam then it's time to take some extreme measures. I'm going to the Tampa game this season.

dive with all your weight at a refs knees.

Article linked from OP article with video of 10 missed calls since the beginning of 2015.  And I can remember some not even in the video (a couple from this year's season opener, Miller's strip sack in the Super Bowl.)

Are they getting it? I've only read this article. Nobody else really mentions the head hunting. David Newton did it slightly but I don't think the media does get it or the league

Those hits were obvious and both were helmet to helmet. Honestly had they been called they would extended drives and most likely led to points as well. Not only is Cam getting hammered but it is not even benefitting the offense for him to take those hits. A double screwing all around.  Guy launch at Cams head all the time.

Honestly, might be crazy, but their QB situation isn't desirable. Nick Foles and Alex Smith both underperform in eyes of chiefs fans. In fact, before sunday, everyone wanted Foles back and considered him to be Brady level good and blasted at the chiefs for not starting him.

 

Spencer Ware though. I have him on fantasy. He's pretty good.

Wrong thread?

Cam multiple shots to the head again yesterday just makes me feel like we probably should just give up on the NFL and officials on protecting our QB.  Cam somehow still isn't seen as a "Top Tier" quarterback to get calls even in the pocket.  The Mark Barron hit was a little iffy and I believe if that was Rodgers, Brady, Brees, etc. they get the call.  The 2 I was more concerned about that literally had me throwing up my hands in "What the fug" fashion was the Donald helmet-to-helmet hit which was blatant as the sky is blue and the after Cam run when the linebacker or cornerback finished up the place with driving his need into Cam's throat.  I don't ask for the NFl to get more pussified than it already is, I only ask, no I beg for consistency!

I was eager for the football season to start literally could not wait, but after watching the 1st two games of the panthers and watching how he is being treated was enough for me not to watch any football. I use to clear my schedule for certain football teams now I barely watch..i come here and see if Cam gets any illegal hits..not even interested in if they win or anyone else...This is not football it seems more like a gladiator except cam has no weapons just at the mercy of the emperors...at this point I almost wish he didn't play but I understand that he wants to be Ali just painful to watch a guy do nothing wrong but is beaten up by everyone except for a few fans. Anyone that has any sense of decency can agree he is be hunted and the league has given them the ok.

People are still trying to justify his hits in the pocket by the fact that he's big, strong, physical and can run. I'd accept that but the excuse is old and worn and we know what it's code for. If you sneeze on Tom Brady, he gets the call. You damn near have to put Cam on a stretcher to get the call but even then, it's offset by an offensive holding. Some even think that he's confused (saw this on FT actually) by what he's talking about. Said he's confusing the hits and no calls when he clearly stated as a runner, he understands he's on his own. Nobody, not even the organization, is taking this serious though. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Maybe the Panthers need to start avenging some of these illegal hits.
