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.

    • Tbf Darnolds last few games here were on par for "good Darnold." Some good decisions and some bad. He had extended success with the Vikings but he still had plenty of poor decisions. Still better than anything we have here. I've always been a Darnold fan and I hope that he finds continued success as a veteran. 
    • I honestly hope he figures it out, but at this point we have little reason to think that he will. He's been even worse than he was as a rookie, which is tough to do. I see no reason he shouldn't be bumped down the depth chart once Coker is back. Jalen is the better player and it's not even remotely close right now. That would if nothing else allow XL to be moved around to where he's in the best position to contribute instead of forcing him into a role he's clearly not ready for and may never be ready for.
    • I think a lot of this stems from how well some of our FA acquisitions / trades played after leaving us. But there's a lot of important caveats there, and I think in Mayfield's case he needed to hit rock bottom (yes, we are rock bottom) to bounce back. He seems much less arrogant in TB. Darnold was, for Darnold, playing well here when we moved on from him too.  I think you are right. I also think we can't wait another 3 years to see if the offense turns around. XL needs to start his turn around this year. And Bryce needs to at least return to how he played the last half of his 2nd year.  Or, imo, we move on from both.
