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.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
