"No, he's not injured,'' Rivera said Tuesday to open his news conference without being asked about his star player. "I'm not quite sure where all that came from, but to put it to rest, and he said it in his press conference after the game, he's fine.''
"Talking to the trainers, talking to the doctors...there was nothing,'' Rivera said. "In talking to him there was nothing.''
 
Newton did take a hit in the first half and was shown on camera behind the bench stretching.
 
"He was fine,'' Rivera said. "That was it.''

 

Offensive coordinator Mike Shula said physically Newton looked "like he has the last couple of years at this time.''

 

He also wasn't aware of the basis for reports that Newton was injured.
 
"He's OK,'' Shula said.

 

 

 

Wat.

Must be a play on words.

Rivera himself said Newton won't be 100% this season.

Craziest part is Shula saying he looks like he always does. Ugh, no....go watch the NE Patriot game last year and tell me Cam is healthy enough to do THAT

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

      I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.

      Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
