Part of me wants the team to be dirty, but we need to be better than that. I said last month the moral high ground always wins. May not be now, but later, being the better team will prevail.

Cam is a man and will adjust and hopefully the team will see we need to buy some protection. I predict another QB will be lost in the playoffs . 

There is no real adjustment though? 

He could just become a running back.  He can bail on pass plays earlier to protect himself and thus be a less effective passer and which limits our offensive potential any given game. 

If guys attack your head as a passer....it is what it is.  Rules and officiating are suppose to protect vulernable players and for the most part the NFL does protect the QBs (because they want offense).....just not Cam

[KillerKat]

I've seen Brady and other QBs get personal foul calls from a hand barely grazing the top of their helmets. God fuging Dammit this is so fuging stupid.

The Panthers need to take notice. Cheating teams (Patriots) and dirty teams (Seahawks and Broncos) win championships.

Not that I don't disagree,  but we can do what's in our control and that's protect Cam. A good first start would be to add some more talent to protecting him. The state of the matter right now is Cam gets hit so much we have to figure out if it's legal or not .

At this point all we can do is suck it up, we aren't going to get any help or pity obviously from the NFL or officials.  Cam needs to step up to the podium with a determined look on his face and come to peace that he and the team have to protect themselves.  Not come out and "whine" about the obvious illegal hits but just accept that its us against the world.  That mentality has always provided fuel to our fire.

More and more the NFL is becoming unwatchable.

I'm wondering if some of the poor officiating against Cam and the Panthers has something to do with HB2. Everything else is pulling out of NC but they can't pull the team. However, they can ensure that no playoff games are played in NC.

I don't disagree with that either.  But if you give him great lineman...even they get beat.  So there will still be examples of defenders essentially groomed by the NFL to play Cam different. So whether he gets 3 of them a game or 1 it is still there. 

I realistically think Cam gets hurt soon and only then will the NFL change and it will be because only then will the public/FO will finally put enough heat on them

So if these hits are legal, I assume that it's ok to hit Drew Bree's, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers like this and there will be no flags...

No no no.  Those are flags for them.

NFL technically addressed the gray area. They don't have to fine/flag hits unless they are 100% blatant.  So since they can claim Cam's weren't 100% blatant examples they can fall into the debatable category.  But they can and will flag/fine debatable hits for others.   They can pick and choose from the same hits and say debatable ones are just that.
