Another tidbit from my source

Was talking to him yesterday and about what has been going on in camp and he said there are rumors that Cam might not be ready for SF. They were hoping that his shoulder would be responding better at this point but the scar tissue has yet to relax and pushing it could be even worse than missing the start of the season. He said the training staff is working hard to get the scare tissue to release and the first had hopes he would be ready for the preseason but it's looking like that's not going to happen. Of course the Panthers are keeping a lid on this but I expect they won't be able to too much longer.

Thanks for the info. It doesn't surprise me. Despite Cam having the best medical care available and his reputation for taking care of himself it happens. It sucks, but it's life. I hope he heals fully and properly, if that takes a little extra time then so be it. It does, however, worry due to DA's struggles this TC. Much ado about nothing perhaps, but we'll see soon enough.

I'm speculating but it might be why TC hasn't seen many new formations. Shula probably will enter week one with DA starting and nothing really spectacular on offense till Newton is back. We will rely on the D to keep us up and going.

Best medical care?  Anyone can see him playing in week 17 and putting off surgery was MO RON IC.  Don't even have to stay at a Holiday Inn Express to see it.

I don't see it as moronic at all with hindsight being what it is. They knew he wouldn't do any more harm. They hoped PT and a non-surgical treatment would fix it. Once they saw it wouldn't, they operated. I'm completely fine with all of that as it makes perfect sense to me.

My source says otherwise.  To each his own.

The season was over and our franchise QB had a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder. It was insane to have him out there.

I hope you're source is right lol. Just giving it how I get it. 

Did not mean to be condescending.  Please except my apologies but I have been told a very different tale and your post is the only time I saw a chance to share it.  Keep  Pounding brother.

Playing against the Bucs with even the slightest chance something goes wrong and, "best case", we win the game, hurting our draft position and helping theirs, was, is, and always will be, utterly asinine.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
