The most disappointing thing about Sunday was the offense's reaction to the headshot on Cam

You're not keeping him safe. You would have done that by making the blocks. If he's already on the ground, you're just retaliating pure and simple, and possibly hurting your own team more.

Right--how is it "keeping him safe" if he just got hit?  I said it earlier---it does nothing to protect your QB--penalties, fines, and ejections are more effective that getting pushed by Torrey Smith.  He nullified the penalty and protected nothing.

If you don't respond to something that egregious and violent, the other team sees that as a go-ahead to keep doing it. Think back to the 2016 opener against Denver. Cam took killshot after killshot and nobody was stepping in to put those thugs on their asses. So they kept escalating and kept escalating. They saw how soft we were, so they intentionally tried to injure Cam to get him out of the game. There was no disadvantage in doing so.

Weird how the Panthers are taught by Rivera "not to respond" and, to this day, CAM IS STILL GETTING HIT IN THE HEAD BY OTHER PLAYERS.

Must be coincidence, eh?

Do you ever ask yourself why Cam takes more headshots than anyone else in the league? It has nothing to do with him running more, he takes them when he drops back to pass and he takes them on designed runs and ends the play with a slide. He takes so many because this team has a soft reputation. Tom Brady never takes headshots because other teams know they can't get away with that. Retaliating when your QB gets hit means you may lose a battle, but you'll end up winning the war.

Frank Garcia is a pretty bad radio guy, but one of the few things I trust him on is offensive line play and how offensive linemen are supposed to act on the field. He said he was very disappointed that none of them got Cam's back and he's pointed out for several years how big of a problem that is on this team where other guys just let Cam get decapitated and they do nothing about it.

Smith was closest to the play and retaliated, there was no point in more guys running in and retaliating - it would only serve to get them ejected. Plus, at that point our trainers were trying to get to Cam ASAP and needed some space, I'm sure our guys realized that. 

Best way to retaliate in that situation is to wait until Matt Ryan steps back on the field... I'm not saying take a cheap shot but let him know he needs to talk to his defense if he wants to survive.

This is the biggest load of horseshit I've seen in a while. League-wide, the Carolina Panthers are known for a few things, one of which is toughness. Cam gets hit because he's fuging 6'5" and 255 lbs. People hit him like they hit linebackers and tight ends because he's literally the size of one.

The notion of retaliation doesn't earn you a tough reputation. It earns you a reputation for lack of discipline. These are grown men, professionals at their craft, and you expect them to act like children on a playground or gangs. Grow the fug up.

So much anger over an Internet post. Might wanna step away from the keyboard and get some fresh air tough guy. Some guys on the defense are known for being tough, but when was the last time you heard a single player on our offense (other than Cam) described as "tough"? Seriously, I await your examples.

What does Cam's size have to do with taking a headshot when he's sliding? Please enlighten me.

Instead, he set his career high with most rushing TDs in a game on us after that hit. Defense looked afraid to hit anyone too hard.
