Why is Cam Newton allowed to be head hunted?

Guess it didn't matter.

No self respecting football fan could possibly want even more flags by calling those great hits penalties.

I can see a helmet to helmet call on the first of those two,b ut the second looks completely clean to me.

I just want consistency. That Donald sack is almost definitely flagged on any other QB - he launched and struck him in the helmet. I don't really think the second one is a penalty, from the angle it looks like he hit his shoulder pad more than anything.

Either way Newton has taken hits this season (all as a passer) I haven't seen any other QB take more than maybe once in their career. Dude isn't going to last much longer and it sucks.
