Cam Newton is the NFC Offensive Player of the Week

[cookinbrak]

I hate to cast aspersions on all of the negativity this season, but-

 

We're 7-3

Definately on the upswing

Get Olsen back soon

Letting Cam be Cam

 

The rest of the NFL needs a new diaper.

If not for a couple bad weeks, Cam would have to be in MVP conversations with Wentz IMO.  Numbers haven't always been pretty, but he's sprinkled in some amazing games, and has looked like the best player in the league for a few weeks this season. 

Hell, even if we could just reverse the Chicago game, give Cam good numbers there, and the team is 8-3, with Cam having three to four player of the week type games.  And oh yeah...he's doing this installing a "new" offense, lost his #1 (and eventually #2 weapon), has been essentially the ENTIRE run game, recovering from injury, without training camp. Might not be this year, but Cam is coming back for his MVP trophy next year.

I hope his success doesn't start teams getting dirty again and going for more head shots. Seems that is the only way they can stop him.

Look at almost every time he runs the defenders are STILL leading with their helmets trying to hit Cam in the head.  T.J. McDonald tried several times to hit him with his helmet first.   Fortunately Cam got down but make no mistake.  They are trying their damnest to take him out leading with their helmets.

Worse than that is the rule for helmet to helmet doesn't apply to running backs and when Cam runs he is considered a running back so teams are trying to hit him helmet to helmet every single time he runs.

I get the rule but there should also be a rule for intentionally leading with their helmet regardless of RB or QB.   It is a loophole in the rule and teams will continue to try and get Cam.   Notice the reaction of Cam to T.J. McDonald.  Cam is very aware of their strategy.

It's bullshyt but at least he is aware.
