To the original topic, someone should point Earl and Lamar to some tape of Cam Newton over the years. Both behind and ahead of the line of scrimmage, Cam has been beaten on repeatedly over the course of his career, so much so, one could argue, that his career has been significantly shortened. He’s been hit everywhere from his head to his ankles, and has received very little protection from the refs. Thems the breaks. Lamar’s style will inevitably cause him to take a lot of punishment.
