Should the Panthers defense respond in kind to teams that target Cam?

Obviously the refs aren't going to make calls for roughing the passer on Cam.  The more I think about it, the more emotional I get about the whole situation.  I think the Panthers defense should make a statement.  If opposing defenses make runs at Cam with no abandon, our defense should say "bump that" and take it to their QB.  Who cares if we get flags called on us, it's about making sure the other team know we aren't taking this bull anymore.

Uhm. No. I'm sure others feel differently, but not only is it a shifty thing to do to anyone, it would give the NFL that much more ammo to fug us over. I love that our team makes a big deal out of integrity on and off the field, and this would make our players just as dirty as the damn Broncos if they did that

We would have to actually pressure qbs to be in position to "respond" to anything.

Yes.  Eye for an eye.  Sends a message and will force the refs to either call it evenly, or not call it at at all for both teams, as it provides an in-game comparison that can't be ignored.  Keep being men of integrity on and off the field, but protecting your own by any means necessary is certainly within the realm of integrity.  JMO...

Really? Sell your soul for a win and a trophy? Wow.

More of a statement that this type of behavior is not penalized in any substantial way.  Couple of fines maybe and an admonishment or two, but the record books don't change. Bullies are going to bully until there is some sort of push back they can appreciate.

No Way in Hell.

We're better than that!

Imagine if our players did that and some guy was seriously injured / paralyzed.  Would you want that to be on one of our guy's consciences just for the sake of making a point, "getting revenge"

Panthers stand for integrity.   I want them to keep it that way.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      I would rather trade for Ramsey. Alexander was great but man his injuries have been on par with Horns in the last couple years.

      The ball keeps getting pushed down the field. Most of the 2nd rounders won't get full guarantees but they'll get a good chunk of the contract guaranteed. So let's say it's 75%. At the end of the day we're talking about a couple of million over the course of a four year deal. Basically a rounding error in terms of salary cap impact. It's much ado about nothing.

      Agents only have the upper hand if they think/expect the teams to cave in the end, but that 30 of the 2nd rounders remain unsigned, it shows the Agents might not have it in this case.  A 2nd round pick isn't going to sit out their rookie season as a holdout to re-enter the draft the next year and improve their draft stock and/or ability to stick in the NFL, you really need to be an elite QB prospect to even have the remote chance of doing that successfully. Teams have to draw a line somewhere, if they all say the line is the 1st round, then there isn't much the Agents can do about it if the teams all hold firm, which they should. And yes, you're right about the rookie wage scale, which is exactly why I don't think the Agents will be winning this battle in the end.  The teams know they already screwed up rookie contracts once, they aren't going to fall down that slippery slope again and let it snowball on it's way down.
