Do you think Cam would ever pull a Chris Borland?

Yes, i know some of you will read the title and automatically post the "omg stop positing dumb threads" posts without even reading this. This is NOT a Cam bashing thread whatsoever, so dont worry.

Frankly, when you look at the big picture, there is no denying that while EXTREMELY unlikely, there is that slight possibility. I do and have expressed my criticism of Cam, does he have his faults as a QB? Yes. Have I expressed those thoughts? Yes. However, despite Cam's faults there is no denying he is hands down the most gifted QB the Panthers have ever had.

Looking at the big picture of what is happening around the league with players retiring early due to future health concerns and looking at Cam's big picture, you atleast have to give some merit to the idea that while unlikely, there is a SLIGHT reason for concern.

Look at all Cam has been through. Especially in the last year. Off season ankle surgery that even he admitted he felt as though the doctors werent totally honest with him about the extent of the surgery. He then comes back and gets his ribs injured in the pre season, he misses his 1st game ever as a Panther and according to multiple reports was livid about the decision. Then when he is healthy again to finally play, he then is thrust behind the worst O line in the league and gets hit time and time and time again.

Then he is involved in a car accident, thankfully he was fine. Then he is a nightclub where a shooting took place. Now grant it, those last two things are unrelated to Football, however they could possibly make Cam have a "a ha!" moment and make him think hard on life in general.

Also look at the fact that between his endorsements, commercials, the money he has made in the NFL already and his clothing line, financially speaking he is in excellent shape to up and leave football at a moment's notice and still be a very very rich man.

Now grant it, Chris Borland and Cam's situation is different seeing as how Chris Borland left after his rookie season. I meant more in the context of do you think Cam would be an early retirement candidate? Is there cause for concern?

I can understand what you're saying and I respect your opinion.  I don't believe Cam would retire too soon.  He's a fighter and will probably have to be told to quit (some woman will do that to him).
