CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has shown no symptoms of a concussion in the aftermath of Thursdays opener against Denver that would prevent him from playing in Sundays home opener against San Francisco.The only thing Ill say is hes sore in terms of playing-the-game sore, coach Ron Rivera said Monday of Newton, who took four helmet-to-helmet hits in the 21-20 loss to the defending Super Bowl champions. Not anything else sore.Hes tough, hes resilient. Hes moving around pretty good today.But at least one of Newtons teammates remains upset that the officials called only one penalty against Denver for helmet-to-helmet hits. That came on Carolinas final drive and was negated by an intentional grounding penalty on the NFL MVP.Hes treated like a running back -- and hes not, Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen?said of Newton. Hes a quarterback that happens to be big. And fast. And strong.Olsen and Rivera agreed that Newton doesnt get the benefit of such calls because at 6-foot-5 and 260 pounds, hes bigger than most quarterbacks and carries the ball a lot in the read-option offense.Newton rushed 11 times against Denver.Thats what drives me nuts, Olsen said. They say, Oh, but he runs the ball so much. Every single one of those times he was playing quarterback. I dont give a s--- if he ran the ball 10 plays in a row as a running back. When he is a passer, he is a passer. Period.Im not saying Cam should get different rules than anybody else. Just call the rules for every single person that is a quarterback. Period.Rivera agreed.The hard part is the hits that a lot of people are concerned [about] was when he was a passer, he said. It came about because he was a passer, and as long as hes behind the line of scrimmage hes afforded quarterback protection.Olsen and Rivera each noted plays in Sundays games in which the defense was flagged for a helmet-to-helmet hit that was far less violent than some of those Newton took.Olsen mentioned specifically a roughing-the-passer penalty called against the Bengals in which the defenders hand brushed the helmet of Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.Its almost insulting, Olsen said. Its insulting.Rivera wondered whether the officiating became stricter because of what happened to Newton.There were a couple that I watched that I thought, Hmmm. OK, Rivera said.Rivera sent several of the helmet-to-helmet hits to Newton that werent penalized to the league office. He hasnt gotten a response yet.Rivera doesnt know when the NFL or NFL Players Association will conclude its investigation into whether the team and league responded appropriately under the concussion protocol by not taking Newton out of the game to evaluate him.He hopes a ruling is made by Wednesday so we can start focusing on San Francisco.The Panthers could be subject to fines or even the loss of draft picks if it is determined they didnt respond appropriately.Rivera defended his staff, reminding that Pro Bowl middle linebacker Luke Kuechly was taken from the game late in the first half of last years opener and missed the next three games with a concussion.Our guys are very aware, and they understand the rules, the protocol, Rivera said. Its just unfortunate some people dont understand what the protocol is. Adidas NMD Halvalla . It might not have mattered.
