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

Absolutely not. I know a lot of football fans like to talk all this fake macho bull$h1t about how this is a man's game. But I can't imagine how a person can claim to love football and also support injuring players. I want the best players on earth playing to the best of their abilities, as hard as they can for 60 minutes. I want two healthy teams going at it at full strength because I love football and I want to see it played well and played hard.

One of the saddest parts about this is that Cam is the only thing keeping me watching the NFL. That league is a disgrace. Cam is a once in a lifetime talent that reminds people that sports are supposed to be fun and that there is value in doing something hard, sometimes painful, and finding joy in it. Last night the NFL shat all over that. The real reason Cam isn't allowed to be the face of the NFL is he's too good. He's not cynical enough for them. He hasn't been corrupted. We are lucky that we have leaders on defense like Thomas Davis who are the same way.

So no, our defense should not respond in kind. I don't want to beat our opponents only when we play our best. I want to beat our opponents when they play their best.

There is one last thing and then I'll shut up: I'm not from Carolina. They're not my home team. I chose them because when I was 11 I saw Steve Smith play and remind me why I play sports and take joy in competition and for the next fifteen years I can say that I am proud of the organization that I root for.  And I want to keep feeling good about rooting for this team. Yes, I want them to do well. But I also want them to do good.

Are you kidding? I drive a cab for a living. And yes, I'm @Your Creeper Cabbie... I get SH!T on almost every night.

Face piles of trials with smiles, it riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave, and keep on thinking free.

I feel your pain my son. poo on them back. your life will change for the better.

Ok then.  So you were just fine and dandy and happy at what they did to Cam?

Makes no sense.

Not what I said. If the refs won't call it for Cam then they can't call it for Denver.  If they do you have proof that the refs where playing favorites.  

 

It gave Denver a unfair advantage.

Quite strange to me as well and I bet none  the people saying this would turn the other cheek themselves.

It's always do the "right" thing until the "wrong" thing is done to you then all the sudden your white knightness goes away.

Give me a real and honest person that knows what's really up.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
