Ryan Kalil: Cam takes the most cheap shots in the League

[Don137]

Its all about the benjamins. The league is quick to protect big city franchises and their darlings like Peyton and Aaron. That's where they generate the most revenue. If Cam's popularity continues to grow to be in the neighborhood of Peyton, Aaron, Eli, Brady, etc then I think he will start to get protected by the refs a little more.

For the sake of argument you guys make it sound like The ref's only protect certain QB's and that Cam is a "victim"

The Refs have been ridiculous around the league this year. At some point the nfl is going to have to do something about it.

The run he had for a first down against the Falcons where the entire Falcons defense struggled to bring him down comes to mind.

On that run alone, Cam was allowed to be illegally targeted helmet to helmet when a Falcons player launched himself full speed into Cam Newton's head. Then when he still kept going the refs allowed Cam to be horse collar tackled as he reached out for the first down. Then they allowed Vic Beasley to grab onto the back of Cam's shoulder pads with both his hands from the bottom of the pile after the play and pull Cam backwards as he tries to get up. A ref can be seen latching on to Vic Beasley's arms and trying to pull them off Cam until he released Newton.

Multiple times the refs have allowed defenders to seek Cam out and taunt him physically after plays.

Nothing is ever done.

When Cam is running like that....defenders can hit him helmet to helmet.

A defender running full speed and launching their body airborne while impacting helmet to helmet is always illegal no matter if the player is a passer, runner, or receiver.

If Cam wins the MVP this stuff will settle down. Once he's a national face of the league he will join the Mannings and Bradys of the world and get some protection from the refs.

Probably one of my biggest frustrations since 2011 is watching Cam take all the extra hits and BS.  It does have a cumulative effect and take a hard look at the 2014 season.  He took an inordinate amount of hits last season and they had an effect.  He was banged up and it showed (of course other issues were contributing) but he can't sustain years of this crap!  The NFL HAS to address this!  I am really irritated with how often he geta the extra nudges, pushes, and hits!

I think you're right, sadly.

if you have ever watched basketball, you would know that bigger guys will never get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to foul calls. refs will allow bigger players to get assaulted while enforcing a bubble around non-mobile QBs like Brady, Manning, etc. it is the same in football. the cheap shots really piss me off.
