Cam Newton Didn't Violate Patriots' COVID-19 Rules, Says Bill Belichick

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said Thursday that quarterback Cam Newton did not violate team rules related to COVID-19 protocols. Belichick's comments came on the heels of the Patriots releasing a statement regarding a "misunderstanding" about COVID-19 tests administered to...

So Cam was forced to take 5 days off because he didn't do anything wrong.

Maybe he didn't violate Patriot Rules but did he violate the NFL's??

Sorry Bill, can't buy that he was totally innocent.

Cam Newton returned to practice Thursday.​

As expected. Newton completed his five-day reentry period following a "misunderstanding" that forced him to keep away from team facilities. The fact he was tested daily means Newton has yet to receive the vaccination for COVID. He'll return to a competition in camp with first-rounder Mac Jones, who reportedly lit up practices in Newton's stead.

MAC JONESQB, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

NBC Sports Boston's Tom Curran believes Mac Jones has earned the right to be the Patriots' Week 1 starter.​

"There’s no on-field reason for Cam Newton to ever take a meaningful, regular-season snap for the Patriots while Mac Jones is upright and able," writes Curran. Newton has missed practice all week due to a "misunderstanding" with the COVID policy due to him being unvaccinated. With Newton gone, Jones has taken 500-plus practice reps, working exclusively with the ones and getting all of the work. Newton was great in last week's preseason game, but Jones has also been impressive. New England has held joint practices with the Giants this week, and Jones has carved up the G-Men's defense by all accounts. Coach Bill Belichick has said he'd be open to a committee quarterback situation, but Jones may be pulling away with the job this week

Is it possible the team gave him the rules and he followed those rules and it was the team's mistake?

It is possible but then we'll have to put our pitchforks away and that's no fun.

It was a fucking team sponsored meeting Jesus man it's not Camella's fault

No, it wasn't a team sponsored anything.

It was a team approved medical appointment for some mysterious thing, which no one has asked about.

The team has used the adjective, misunderstanding to allow them to flitter and flop.

Look back at all of the events that have happened and BB has never covered up for anyone, including Brady. Yet he's covering Cam's ass like a shower towel.

There was no misunderstanding of anything. Cam did what Cam did because he's Cam and he screwed up. He did not follow protocol. Simple as that . More than likely, in my opinion, he thought he could get away with it. He didn't. I've lost some respect for Bill for trying to ignore or deflect the 'problem' and letting Cam come back and do his thing (Dance and shimmy and shake) on the practice field yesterday.

Time to grow the fuck up and accept some responsibility for his own actions.

Misunderstanding, my ass.

So you need to play literal semantics with the word semantic?.... How about this one: For all intents and purposes for this context team approved and team sponsored carry the same implications, none of which include the absolute conclusion Cam was overwhelmingly irresponsible or the team wasn't at least partially culpable.

I don't think we'll ever know what exactly happened. Frankly speaking, I don't give a flying shit. If the Pats approved the visit(which they supposedly did) then they should've informed Newton of the exact protocol. If they didn't, that's on them. If they did and Newton still went off the reservation then I see no reason to believe why Mac Jones will not be our starting QB week one.

p.s. on another post you mentioned something about Newton dancing or whatever at practice. I'm sick of that fucking shit. IMO it shows he's not all that confident in himself.

Ken. Are you aware of HIPPA?
Do you understand that BB can't talk about players medical treatment just because some old dude wants to know?
Go read the National Enquirer!

You try to hard to read between the lines and cannot admit when you read incorrectly.
