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.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
