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.

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
