NFL already responding to Newton hit (like always)

[truthjuice]

Kirk Cousins got pushed while running inbounds and was called a late hit, RTP. The leagues message is very clear. 

[Ornias]

KK's hit on Cousins needs to happen more often. He was inbound's, acting as a runner, when Short hit him. It just highlights the complete disparity in calls by the refs. It has happened so often that I assume it is intentional at this point. 

[RumHam]

These referees are as bad as WWE Refs and its just as rigged and scripted.

[Darth Biscuit]

Watch ECU's gif and look at this...

 

Cam clearly starts to slide while #93 is still running AND #93 CLEARLY hits Cam in the head with the ref looking right at it...

 

NFL is just covering their asses like they always do.

Meanwhile here's Drew Moleface Brees getting a personal foul called for being tackled.

Nobody loses protection against a helmet to helmet hit. One, he was sliding. It wasn't even a bang bang play, he was sliding before he was hit. Two, it was a blow to the head. Should have been 15 yards. Helmet to helmet is always called whether it's a quarterback or running back. Nfl is some bull.

At some point this fanbase is just going to have to realize that the NFL does not want a QB like Cam Newton to be the image of the league unless he is going to be the aw shucks conformist non threatening black quarterback like Russell Wilson that celebrates the right way, and doesn't challenge stereotypes for caucasian fans.

Stop bullshitting.

If I were Cam I would put the NFL on notice that all these hits are documented and will be part of a lawsuit for biased calls.

I would think the threat of legal action might change their biased ways.  Seems extreme but what else can he do?

Wellllllll.

Thinking there is some secret conspiracy/agenda within the NFL that tens of people are in on all keeping quiet about against Newton make you sound stupid. Playing the race card makes you sound really stupid and just hurts credit towards the argument by derailing from the issue and to some personal issue and insecurity.

Newton is a big, fast, strong QB and calls are not as clear cut. He doesn't just sit in the pocket and he will lose protection when he starts looking and running up field. It is clear MANY of you only watch Panther games because there are plenty of weekly no calls for other players/QBs in the NFL, especially the no namers.

 

This was a close call. The contact happened after sliding however the player launched himself before Newton slides. The player did not aim for Newton's head and did not appear malicious. Now there was helmet to helmet and per rules a flag should have been thrown.

Newton cuts it close and he needs to protect himself by either staying upright knowing a defender is launching himself at his hip or ne needs to slide sooner. This is what Rodgers will do. Smaller QBs can afford to slide later rather than sooner much more than Newton can.

 

Officials are missing calls due to that fact, newtons size, and his playing style mixed with muddy rules regarding qb protection. What the league needs to do is clarify the rules and penalize referees from missing calls according to rules.

You could say all this if they were only 1 or 2 examples this season, but we are beyond that and into double digits now on no calls for Cam. Almost every single week, the nfl deserves no benefit of the doubt, it is blatant. There isnt separate rules for big QB's vs tiny qb's on paper, but its obvious the refs have different rule sets for them and its bullshit.   This whole season has been a fug you to Cam all season by the NFL.

@usmcpanthers is right... sounds to me like you haven't been watching the same games I've been watching.

 

idk about a conspiracy, but Cam does NOT get the same treatment other QBs in the NFL get.  Period.

[truthjuice]

The argument that he's big, strong and runs is bullshit and anyone who believes that knows it. That's not an excuse for no calls. He's a quarterback and all quarterbacks get the same protection. The refs know good and damn well what is and what isn't an illegal hit. Protection rules aren't that muddy. We're not talking about a catch, we're talking about a defenseless QB in the pocket and a sliding QB out of bounds.
