Cam fined 10k

Recommended Posts

Alright Huddlers we've got a mission for the bye week now. Need 31 volunteers to visit the official NFL team websites, look at the pictures they have posted recently and note any of the same visor clip violations. If Cam's gotta pay, he's not gonna go down by himself.

 

I got the Bucs.

 

Another thing to do is go through the recent game day writeups on espn and click on photos and scan through those, theres normally about 20-50 depending on the game/matchup.  Theres gotta be some nice incriminating closeups on there.

Cam should not have to pay it, the equipment manager should. Cam doesn't outfit his own helmet.

The equipment manager chose those clips for everyone on the team that wears them including deangelo and charles.

Yep. I was thinking this as well, but it seems a lot of equipment managers didn't know about this rule, so this falls on the NFL for not being clear with them.

ESPN breaking news: Cam newton blames uniform violation on Equipment Manager. Equipment manager forced to pay hefty $10 k fine......or something like that.

Other players who have worn the clips are Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle PryorSan Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid and Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon, according to Forbes.com. The Charlotte Observer reported that at least three other Panthers -- defensive endsGreg Hardy and Charles Johnson, and running back DeAngelo Williams -- have worn the Under Armour clips. A source, however, said they were not fined because the black clips were on black facemasks; Newton's were more noticeable because they were black clips on a gray facemask.

 

What the hell.

 

Does ESPN and it's source even know who the Panthers are? The league apparently doesn't even know the Panthers have black facemasks, I guess they just took Chris Smith on his word.

    • Just worry about it next year.  Its that simple honestly.  its way to early to do what ifs.  I could see us trade/cut chuba and retain dowdle, I could see them let dowdle walk and go with Chuba/Etienne and Brooks, and I could see Dowdle and Chuba both stay and see what happens.  Hell, we still have 6 games left THIS season plus possible post-season...what if Rico or Chuba have an ACL tear or severe injury.  I DO NOT want that to happen, but stuff like that does happen.  Remember RB is the most injury prone position in the NFL due to the beating their bodies take so having some extra guys is never bad, just wish it hadn't come at the cost we paid to get him.
    • I think it’s cool that no one can be really certain what the outcome will be.  That’s a lot of progress! This is a real opportunity for us, I’d be happy with a competitive game and thrilled if we sack up for a W.
    • I could never found out who did the first surgery. That failed.      Nor who did the recent one.    Yiu can’t count on anything involving him. If it happens it’s a windfall at this point.
