Leave that shit on the field Cam! He should have talked it out with the ref - not run to the press. Good luck getting favorable calls in the future Superman! :177692:

And the NFL clearly does not consider Newton part of the club. Runner or not, he still cannot be hit late; it's a personal foul behind the line or down field.
UNNECESSARY ACTS AGAINST PASSER
(2) A rushing defender is prohibited from committing such intimidating and punishing acts as “stuffing” a
passer into the ground or unnecessarily wrestling or driving him down after the passer has thrown the
ball, even if the rusher makes his initial contact with the passer within the one-step limitation provided
for in (1) above. When tackling a passer who is in a defenseless posture (e.g., during or just after
throwing a pass), a defensive player must notunnecessarily or violently throw him down and land on
top of him with all or most of the defender’s weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap
up or cradle the passer with the defensive player’s arms.

He actually makes contact with him while the ball is still in his hands:
He then follows though and shoves Newton out of bounds, which Newton was obviously upset about. But it was still a football play . . . no penalty was deserved there, I don't think. I can understand why the ref may have been snarky about the complaining on that play.
I wonder whether Newton thought this rule might apply:

Anyway, I'm glad a penalty was not called for that shove after the pass.
