NFL already responding to Newton hit (like always)

leaking junk to Ed Werder (we have seen this all before)

#NFL office source on Newton non-call:  lost QB protection as runner, slide didn't occur before contact imminent, contact no obv. forcible

same old song and dance.  THIS is why players continue to take shots....because the league protects refs and encourages dirty play by players because NOTHING is done.

NFL ONLY interprets that play, in that manner....for Newton.  But let's make another thread praising Carolina's FO and coaching staff for handling it the right way and quietly going through the league office.

I was actually pleased with KK hitting Kirk while he was still in bounds and drawing a flag for roughing, since Kirk was also running blah blah blah. It highlighted the disparity of Cam's non-calls on a national stage. 

This song and dance is horrid.

Anyone have a gif? I was coming home from work and I didn't get to see it. I know it's probably a hit that should have been called though, without seeing it. I mean, it's Cam. Refs hate Cam. 

 

But seriously, when does a QB become a runner thus losing his protection? I clearly saw Cousins running, thus losing his protection, yet when he was pushed/shoved out of bounds while he was still IN bounds, short gets called for it? I mean this is sooo complex man. How do these NFL refs define and decide what is a runner and what isn't a runner and if they have lost or have their protection still?

Lol "not a sliding motion" 

What the actual fug. He wasn't a runner, he was sliding and 5 inches from the ground at that point. They're literally just brewing up a poostorm to come right at them about this.

Rule says even with a late slide and if a defender can't avoid....that head contact still makes it illegal and a flag should get thrown 

but they keep dancing and singing and selling bullpoo. Because no one outside Newton will make a stand and Newton will be crucified for it

Current NFL mindset:

NFL leaks a little to Werder.  Gauges the temp.  Sees no real outrage.  Yeah, looks like we can keep up this year long charade we have dug our heels into.  Let's put the official response out now.  Guess we can prepare for that Carolina handwritten note that is always in such lovely penmanship to show up so that we can it toss in the garbage.

NFL probably doubles down and puts this crew in the postseason and talks about how their grading put them in the postseason games.

You guys will have to come to terms with this.  It's not going to change no matter what kind of fit Ron and the front office throws.   It's going to be up to the team to stop it, or at least deter it some by retaliation.  Yes we will get the flags on us but so what.  Set the tone as soon as Cam takes a hit like that by knocking the offending player the fug out.   Hell if I were Ron I would tell the opposing coach that he can expect it if his guys take shots at my QB during the game.  Hell I would go across the field and get in the motherfugers face.  I would get ejected and fined but at this point who cares.  The NFL doesn't so if they want WWE style I would be happy to oblige.

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
