Cam Going To Talk To Fidel Goodell About the Hits He's Taking

[DonKnock]

A testy Cam Newton said he plans to talk to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about hits he's been taking.

"It's really taking the fun out of the game for me honestly," Newton said after the Panthers' 30-20 winover the Cardinals on Sunday. "Because at times I don't even feel safe. And enough is enough. I plan on talking to Commissioner Goodell about this. But it's not fun. And I don't know what I have to do."

The Carolina Panthers quarterback was hit low by Calais Campbell in Sunday's victory. There was no flag on the play.

"I could have torn my ACL," Newton said of the hit. "That's the breaking point."

Newton said he's taken hits that have drawn flags for other quarterbacks, but not him.

"The story of my life ever since I came in is, 'Oh, oh well we missed that one, I’m sorry, we’ll try to get it.' That's bullcrap, that's bullcrap."

"As players in this league, we do something stupid, we get fined. If we do something derogatory to somebody else, we get fined. I just can’t keep accepting, 'Oh we missed that one' or 'I apologize for doing that' or 'I didn't see it,' -- that's horsecrap. That's horsecrap. And coming from a person that's been fined before, coming from a person that everybody is expecting a lot from, and I'm still growing. But yet when you constantly see the hits, constantly see flags being picked up, and you constantly see flags getting thrown, and to see other quarterbacks getting it, lesser hits, lesser physical hits, then it’s taking the fun for me out. I’m just being honest with that."

In the season opener, Newton was the subject of controversial no-calls when he was hit in the helmet several times without a flag or being checked for a potential concussion. Newton missed a game this season after suffering a concussion on a legal hit while he was running in for a two-point conversion against the Atlanta Falcons.

The refereeing of Newton has been compared to Shaquille O'Neal's heyday in the NFL. Newton's size and physicality often make it difficult for refs to see the illegal and borderline illegal shots he takes. Newton's size, however, doesn't excuse repeated missed calls.

Newton is now standing up for himself after the latest blow.

He plays football for a living,a watered down version of football.he needs to shut the fukk up.

 

[bangbreh]

"bullcrap" and "horsecrap" got me

 

[BucciMane]

Goodell won't help you, Cam..

I mean he's right but I don't think he should be the one to talk about this, seems like something a coach or teammate should say in defense of him

 

[gho3st]

he's right tho just because he can take the illegal hits doesn't mean he should keep on taking them.

Greg Olsen has nothing has changed

It's up to Jerry Richardson and Rivera

 

[concise]

They listened to complaints of white QBs, let's see if this goes differently.

That ain't football it's illegal in the rule books

Cam one of the toughest QBs and gets beat up on the regular and gets right up ..a big hit is one thing

Helmet to helmet and defenders lunged forward and making contact right on his knee.

I thought the NFL rule was its illegal to hit in the head or knee area when a QB is in the pocket ...I guess unless you Cam Newton

nikkas can talk that stop crying shyt but it'll be sad to see one of the games most gifted players career ended cause he's not being protected like other star quarterbacks

Can't take him seriously with those costumes
