I am shocked so many Huddlers are falling for Rivera's gamesmanship with Cam's injury

This happens literally all the time around the league. We're just not used to it because it's so rare that we've had a quarterback that is both a.) great and b.) banged up. You need both of those criteria to be able to do this wink wink nudge nudge stuff effectively.

so youre saying it was better for him to pretend to be injured yesterday and miss practice to psych the buccs out rather than practice and get the game plan under wraps?  from what was stated on the panthers site, Cam comes out to practice yesterday and while stretching, realized he couldnt practice and went to the medical facility and weight room.

He's definitely not feeling great, but we're talking about practice here. Cam knows these receivers by now and he knows the gameplan. I'm not seeing he's not injured, I'm saying he's not injured enough to hold him out on Sunday.

Voth says the sense inside the team is that he is "unlikely" to play:

 

Even though Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was upgraded to limited on Thursday’s official injury report, the sense inside the team is he will be held out of Sunday’s season opener at Tampa Bay.

 

...

 

Newton said he wouldn’t play if he didn’t feel 100 percent, and less than two weeks after he cracked his ribs against the Patriots, it’s hard to imagine he’ll be 100 percent by Sunday. Plus, there’s some thought that playing competent backup Derek Anderson instead of a bruised Newton gives the Panthers a better chance to win.

    • Uggh forgot about that
    • I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.
    • The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
