Let's be honest about the hits on Cam.

First of all, the Broncos were head-hunting. That's wrong to begin with.

Secondly, the officials did a horrible job of penalizing the Broncos - and thereby helping to protect Cam - for at least four helmet-to-helmet hits on Cam that I counted.

Thirdly, the NFL once again demonstrated that it is not really serious about player safety by having a neurologist on the sidelines look at a video to determine if Cam was concussed rather than examine the player in person when the player was standing right in front of him! The referee could have called an official's timeout to have Cam looked at on the field if he didn't want to make Carolina take out their starting QB during a last-minute drive.

Also, a non-personal foul penalty should not be allowed to offset the penalty for a head-to-head hit. They are not equivalent. A rule change is needed on that to help protect the players.

Lastly, if that had been one of our sons out there taking that uncalled for beating, I'm betting that most of us would have spoken out about it. I know I would have. Cam's father was actually quite restrained in his comments under the circumstances, IMO.
