Cam Newton could not take it anymore. After absorbing yet another dangerous hit that went unflagged on Sunday against the Cardinals, the Panthers quarterback unloaded on NFL referees.

“It’s really taking the fun out of the game for me,” he said after the game. “At times I don’t even feel safe. And enough is enough.” “The story of my life ever since I came in is, ‘Oh, oh, well, we missed that one. I’m sorry. I’ll try to get it.’ That’s bullcrap. As player in this league if we do something stupid we get fined. If you do something derogatory to somebody else, we get fined. I just can’t keep accepting, ‘Oh, we missed that one.’ Or ‘I apologize for doing that.’ Or ‘I didn’t see it.’ That’s horsecrap.”

Some accused Newton of whining (including former NFL Vice President of Officiating Mike Pereira) pointing to the fact Newton has been the beneficiary of the most roughing the passer calls since he entered the league in 2011. That, however, does not explain why Newton has only received one roughing call over the last two seasons and went the entire 2015 season without getting a single call.

That stat saying Cam has gotten more roughing calls than any other QB is a little misleading. 1 call since 2015. pic.twitter.com/0Rfj3q28b5 — Steven Ruiz (@theStevenRuiz) October 31, 2016

A “league source” reportedly told ProFootballTalk.com that the NFL has counted only three instances of missed roughing the passer calls against Newton since 2013, and that 11 quarterbacks have been the victim of more missed calls.

If that number sounds way too low, it’s because it probably is.

For the Win looked back through the last two seasons of hits Newton has taken on passing plays and found at least 10 hits that probably should have been flagged according to the NFL’s roughing the passer rule.

Some of those hits are admittedly tough to call, but the four below are not. If we are to believe the report that there have only been three missed calls against Newton, then one of these plays would have had to have been deemed legal by the league. Which one was it?

Was it Calais Campbell’s hit from Sunday?

Or this brutal head-first shot from last year’s game against the Giants?

Or this shot to the knees in the Panthers’ Week 6 game in New Orleans?

Maybe it was this helmet-to-helmet hit in Week 1 against Denver?

Let’s just assume the NFL did, in fact, consider one of those plays legal. That means the six other examples we’ve provided in the video above did not qualify as missed calls. That also means referees did not miss a single roughing the passer call on Newton in 2013 and 2014. And it means the 11 examples of borderline plays in the video below are also considered clean.

For what it’s worth, all of these plays took place after (Put your tinfoil hats on for this one!) Newton accused Ed Hochuli of saying he wasn’t old enough to get a roughing the passer call — an accusation Hochuli denied. Make of that what you will.

Whether intentional or not, NFL referees are not doing a good enough job of protecting the 2015 MVP, and Newton has every right to call the league’s officials out for the missed calls.
