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.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
