Panthers now say Newton had a knee injury

[Mr. Scot]

Panthers say knee injury contributed to Newton collapsing

Florio correctly points out that when he was being examined on the field, nobody looked at his knee.

Probably would have been better to stick with the "we told him to fake an injury to buy time" story.

Somebody who's not good at keeping their story straight.

What the hell

[uncfan888]

Florio has found his Watergate

Ron Rivera is about as inept as you can get at dealing with these sorts of issues. But if you don't wear a tie? Better watch out.

[TheSpecialJuan]

A lie that benefits both Panthers and NFL.

I mean, Ron played him with a bum shoulder for 3 games in 2016.

You think he was gonna let a little thing like a concussed brain stop him from trotting Cam back out there?

And the NFL doesn't get off the damn hook on this either.  If the NFL wants to insist that Cam WAS concussed, then they damn well need to admit their shitty referees missed yet ANOTHER shot to Cam's head without throwing a flag.  And I don't think the defender was coming in for an intentional head shot either but, according to the NFL rules, THAT DOESN'T (or shouldn't) MATTER.

[Mr. Scot]

Right now, I'm just hoping all we end up with is a fine and not something worse.

Stories like this make it look like we're wearing clown shoes.

Why is this even in the players and coaches hands. If they felt like he had a concussion then there should have been someone from the league to escort him off the field. You can't expect a player to take himself out of a game like that. 

[Mr. Scot]

I don't believe he was concussed.

I also have no trouble believing that the Panthers probably went around the proper procedure in order to get him back in the game. Whether or how much trouble they get into for it. We'll see.

I do find myself wishing that we wouldn't say things to make ourselves look stupid in the process.

[Clicheking]

We should of just stopped when we were ahead. The fine is only getting larger

[KendrickPanther]

Its completely understandable. He didn't realize how bad his knee was hurting because of the concussion.

I wonder if this is why he deleted his all his photo off Instagram. Something does not seem right about all of this.
