Cam is injured. And not just his bum ankle.

Cam Newton isn't just dealing with his surgically repaired ankle. The Carolina Panthers quarterback has two bad wheels right now.
 
Newton is nursing a right foot injury the Panthers training staff believes might be the result of compensating for the lingering soreness in his left ankle, a source told FOX Sports. The combination of lower-leg issues could explain why Newton has appeared to be sluggish, particularly on Monday night while he was trying to escape Philadelphia Eagles pass rushers during a 45-21 loss for the Panthers.
 
Newton was limping for much of the game and jogged gingerly to and from the sideline between series. Following one sack, he was stretching his groin or hamstring area, so he might have tweaked a muscle in that region as well.
 
his has been an injury-plagued year for Newton dating back to his ankle surgery in the spring, a procedure he admitted recently was "bigger than I thought." He also suffered a rib injury in the preseason, which led to his being inactive for the Panthers' season-opening win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
 
In addition to those ailments, Newton is battling a thumb issue on his throwing hand that's forced him to wrap it during games.
 
Newton's foot issue hasn't been listed on the team's injury report. He hasn't missed practice time for any injuries since September.
 
 

 

Welp.

Aren't we supposed to list that on the injury report?

 

 

Well we should also do poo like..call time outs before the end of the half to try to score....not challenge obvious calls you're going to lose and other things Rivera completely fails at...that list is too large to post but yea Rivera isn't the sharpest tool

Yeah it's great that all this comes out after a loss. Comes off as excuses. If he can't play then don't play him. None of those injuries cause his decision making issues.

 

I said all of this during the game. Thanks for finally catching up. And yes, injuries to both ankles affect your decision making. Your brain doesn't have to be located in your ankles for that to be the case.

      The meat and potatoes: Out of 30 qualifying QBs in Week 1, Young ranked: Dead last in EPA (-0.60) Dead last in success rate (20%) Dead last in Y/A at 3.6 Dead last in passer rating at 27.5 How are you averaging just 3.6 Y/A on unpressured dropbacks in the first half of a game? Thinking back to that halftime deficit, I’m reminded of this stat: The Panthers led at halftime in three of Young’s 12 starts last year. They are now 0 for 1 this year. In his 29 career starts, the Panthers have led at halftime in 5 of 29 (17%). Since 2000, there have been 37 QBs to start at least 25 games in their first two years in the NFL. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than six of his starts. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than 20% of his starts. So many people were backing Young based on the super small sample at the end of the year when they thought he played better, and he did play moderately better. But even in those games, he delivered average stats against the NFL’s easiest schedule of pass defenses to close the year, with every opponent ranking 20th or worse. There’s never been a QB who rebounded from performance like Young delivered in his first couple of years to go on to become a franchise quarterback. Some stay around as a journeyman, but they don’t lead teams. The Panthers put all their eggs in the Young basket this offseason. The Panthers were the darlings to win the NFC South by many. Yes, it’s only one game, and there certainly are opportunities to improve.   The opportunity is to start someone else at QB.   I don’t want to see anymore debate in whether Bryce is the worst QB ever.  Especially not the worst #1 overall pick ever.  What a fuging bust.
