West Coast Trip Costing Cam Over $200K

Welcome to California!

Quote

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton doesn't live in California, but he's going to be playing a lot of taxes there when Uncle Sam comes calling in April.

The Panthers' decision to stay out west after the team's 35-32 loss to the Raiders on Sunday is going to cost Newton more than $200,000 in taxes. Under California law, any athlete who works in the state can be taxed on the income they earn while working there.

By the time 2016 is over, Newton will have played three games in California, which means three game checks will get hit by California's state income tax of 13.3 percent.

First, Newton and the Panthers played in Super Bowl 50. That was followed up this season by the Panthers game in Oakland against the Raiders. The Panthers also played at Los Angeles in early November. That means Newton will be paying some serious taxes for a three-game swing where the Panthers went 1-2.

Certified public accountant Robert Raiola told ESPN.com that he estimates that Newton will have a total of $220,000 in taxes withheld from his paycheck for those three games, which means that's one less fun hat he's going to be able to buy thanks to Carolina's games in California.

lol California is broke. Needs the dues.

 

Man, paying 60% to live in Cali...let a socialist society rein.

Prop 64 should give California some breathing room and turn a few red numbers black. But then again, they may spend all that new revenue as well.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
