Will the Panthers receive punishment for alternative facts?

On Dec. 14, Newton spoke to media and shrugged off his limitations in practice, and that it was “nothing to be scary about.”

On Dec. 15, head coach Ron Rivera confirmed in his press conference that Newton had an MRI and that it came back clean.

The team’s report on Tuesday contradicts that statement, stating that the MRI revealed the partial tear.

Why did Rivera lie about the MRI results?

Idk, but if they were gonna lie, then why not lie again to avoid being punished?  Like, say it developed over time and needs to be addressed now.  Smh...

If i'm not mistaken, the Pats lost a draft pick not too long ago for fudging injury reports, but there has been plenty of other cases before where i dont recall a team being punished for hiding an injury(Phillip Rivers torn ACL in the playoffs for example).  We're the Panthers though, so i don't like the timing of this.

I don't think they'll be punished but they should def be regretting it. Cam shrugged it off as expected. I don't think anyone expected him to say "yeah it's a torn cuff but I'm gonna play!" Ron should've made the call for him not to. 

I think Ron tried to get him to sit. It's sort of trouble that he failed to do so. I hope it doesn't lead to anything in the future.

True, very true. Ron technically doesn't have to "try" to get him to do anything, he tells him he's not playing and leave it at that. The fact that he didn't though..

I hope it isn't a Cam is a "diva" thing where he doesn't take orders from a coach. There was something last month about Dorsey and Shula being cams "yes" men. Sort of like management won't do stuff to make cam mad. In all of cams career I've never got that impression. Cam seems like a team first kind of guy. I just hope none of this is true.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
