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.

    • Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart
    • Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.  
    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
