Video: Cam Newton throwing at practice today

Cam Newton took a step forward today in his shoulder rehabilitation by throwing the ball in individual drills. This is something that Newton has not done in nearly two weeks. Although he is not throwing the ball in team drills, it is a step in the right direction. It is still unclear whether or not he will be ready for the regular season.

I really don't understand all  the concern for Cam. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be ready to go when it matters and I don't think it's going to hurt him at all to miss a few practices.

You don't want him practicing any new offense with the new offensive players?

There is no new offense. All they're doing is tweaking it a little bit. Sure it would be better if he was practicing, but he's a 6 year vet now. Missing a few TC practices will have a minimum effect on a star like him, if any.

I've seen this play out hundreds of times over the years. They always make a big deal out of the stars missing a few practices but when are real season starts, you can never tell the difference.

A couple weeks. 

The majority of training camp. 

He actually threw in team drills the first two days, so you can't count that. Again though, Cam is a seasoned vet. He's not going to forget how to play anytime soon. I'm much more worried about Samuel. He's a raw rookie who needs every rep he can get.

I'm just not worried. Cam knows this offense inside and out, so a few tweaks to get match ups for CMC are not going to be a challenge for him. RR says his shoulder is right on track and I see no reason to doubt him.

 

If anything, I think Cam screwed up by throwing too far in those first couple practices and it made the soreness worse. I can't blame him though. He just wanted to play like he always does.

Except for the fact that he has zero interest in letting other teams know whats going on with injuries until the league mandates him to the Wednesday before game 1.

I will be shocked if Cam misses week 1.  He still has almost a month to get ready and the only thing keeping him from letting it rip right now is a little soreness. I just can't make myself fret over this. Besides, there are just some guys you know are going to be there when it matters and Cam is one of them. The guy broke his freakin back and came back and played a couple of weeks later, so this is nothing.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
