Is the defense just suppose to let him run 40 yards a pop every time. I'll be very interested to see how the refs call this game in 2018 rules. If the D isn't allowed to touch Cam Newton, then they have ruined football and made it worse than touch football. Once a QB starts to run, he should be treated like a runner. So if Can is running for a TD and Kirkpatrick stuffs Cam into the ground, I don't want to see the penalty flags come out. I'm now interested to see how new rules apply to Cam, because you can't just let this guy run without the D hitting him.
Actually, Cam isn't really treated like a QB. I remember after his SB year, he got hit in the head more than a few times throughout the year, and they didn't call any flags on it. It's kinda crazy, I wonder how many times he gets hit in the head vs other QBs in the league.
