Must be nice to have NFL protection...

Must be nice to be a protected asset to the NFL. 

 

Aaron Rodgers is off limits. All defenses know this. Even when he is running the ball, you better be careful. Legal hits will result in flags.

The is no doubt that if that was Cam running the ball, it would have been a free shot on his head. Afterall, he is a runner.

Players wanting to take out Cam is the problem not the refs

The refs are just the problem by not calling it when it happens ... I don't even want it to happen though and the refs can't stop that ... if players want to cheap shot Cam they will ... would a flag make a season ender to Cam feel any better ? NO

The refs are condoning it by not calling it. I know they won't catch everything because they're human but when they're just not calling the ones even blind men catch, they become part of the problem.

For me, it's been fug the refs and fug the players who are doing this. These players don't like Cam either. It's sad their little feelings have been hurt so bad, that they're willing to seriously hurt an individual to try to "humble" him. 

If you want to "humble" him, then do it legally. They can't stop him, so they go the illegal route.  Fug the refs for condoning and allowing it, and fug these players who partake in it.

I'm actually fine with players on other teams not liking our players, especially given that teams tend to like you less when you beat them.

As to the protection, I go back to Ed Hochulu's "you're not old enough to get that call" comment, but I apply it equally to the franchise.

To put it in socioeconomic terms, the Panthers are middle class right now.   Winning a Superbowl moves you to upper middle class. Winning multiple Super Bowls gets you into the upper class. To be among the elite of the elite though, you have to both have a winning history and have been around for a while (i.e. "old money").

The Panthers are still "new money" and will remain so until more of a winning tradition is built.

At some point you have to think about the players

Cam Newton is more of a target to players than Rodgers, it has nothing to do with refs when you get down to it

Yes, but it's up to the refs to keep them in line.  That's something they're not doing and players know they can go after Cam.

Yup, people think the hits are a result of how Cam treats the defense but the truth is the hits are a result of the defense knowing the refs won't call them. Every defensive player in the league wants to light up every QB on a run like that no matter who he is, only difference is whether or not the refs allow it.

It's like I've said in this board before. Enough is enough, when they try to take out Cam one of our players needs to just put a super late blind side hit helmet to helmet on one of their defenders or get in there and push people around and poo. Fug this, and fug all of that nonsense. Take a stand, like I said before if teams are gonna target Cam we might as well become the bounty Saints or old school raiders. That way while the teams playing us will target Cam, they'll have to remember every game might be their last for a very long time.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
