NBC Sports on Cam: "You can’t question the kid’s toughness."

"You can say many things about Cam Newton, but you can’t question the kid’s toughness.

The Panthers quarterback, who’s playing on a still-mending ankle and after some broken ribs in the preseason, had another hurdle to clear this week.

After Sunday’s win over the Bears, Newton said he had four wisdom teeth surgically removed last week. That he was able to feel his face, much less smile or play, is impressive.

...

Newton’s mobility is clearly limited because of the offseason ankle surgery....but he’s also developing as a passer, and is keeping the Panthers afloat on offense, even though he doesn’t have many weapons or protection."

Why does wisdom teeth surgery happen during the season? I would think that can be taken care of during the off season with a little planning

When your jaw swells to the size of a golf ball it makes it impossible to put your mouth together much less put on a chin strap. It had to have been an emergency sort or situation to have planned it this way.

Newton said the plan was only to take one out but he didn't want to have to see the dentist again so he requested all 4 be taken out.

Isn't it sad how so many folks see that Cam doesn't have any real help around him but still the team and fans do nothing about it and continue to take him for granted.

Your shtick of generalizing all Panther fans because of a loud mouthed retarded minority (a very small minority) has long past grown extremely tiresome.

I reflexively roll my eyes, whenever I see your user name, before I even read your posts because I can almost recite verbatim what you're going to say in my head before actually looking at them.

    • thats fair.   I was beginning to think rookie punter was in the plans 
    • Sam Martin   CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.
    • Surprised CB is that low.  19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players.  So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first.  If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value.  MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others.    Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.
