I am not a Cam Newton fan by any means, but I do think that the referees are far more lax in calling the cheap shots ( and there are lots of them ) against him than other QBs. There seems to be a double standard when it comes to calling penalties on certain Quarterbacks.Maybe ejections and suspensions will help curb the cheap shots and headhunters but only if the refs apply the rules fairly and consistently across the board.
