Will Panthers lose draft picks?

Reading the storyline from last nights game on all major sites, it is obvious that the NFL has to shake things up now. The entire USA watched Cam get decapitated on live tv.

General concensus is that since the coaches did not protect the player by removing him from the game, fines and/or losing draft picks may be next.....what do you think?

Is this a real thought you had? No.

One or two Broncos players will get suspended for a game, we'll all move on to San Francisco, and the NFL will keep bathing in money.

LOL no they might get fined.

The NFL released a statement Friday morning saying there was communication between medical personnel on the Carolina sideline, including the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant, and the two independent certified athletic trainer spotters in the booth.

The release also stated that during stoppage in action the play was reviewed and medical officials determined ''there were no indications of a concussion that would require further evaluation and the removal of the player from the game.''

So, we lose draft picks? Come on now? The NFL would be such a farce to attempt that.

The real question should be what happens to the NFL itself, to the officials, for not enforcing the blatant hits to the head that Cam endured on so many occasions? Gene Salvatore and crew should, at a minimum, be suspended for not making blatant calls that all of America - including NBC, ESPN and the NFL Channel - all saw.

The Denver Donkeys also need to lose a player or two to join Gene and his crew....

Since everyone else would rather just bash the OP and state conjecture, here is the actual outline of the new proposed policy:

Quote

For first violations, teams could face:

  • A fine of up to $150,000.
  • Club employees or medical team personnel could be required to attend remedial education classes.

After a first violation, though, the severity of the consequences escalates rapidly.

  • Second and subsequent violations result in a minimum $100,000 fine for the club.
  • If the NFL and NFLPA representatives determine that there were "aggravating circumstances" involved in the violation, an additional fine of $50,000 can be assessed.

If it is determined by Goodell that the protocol was violated to maintain competitive advantage, it could result in more severe sanctions.

  • Teams could face the loss of draft picks.
  • The league may assess additional fines exceeding the amounts set forth above.

    • Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.
    • Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy
    • Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
