Good info from Joe P. 

 

“There’s no reason to (panic). We’re just listening to what the doctors and trainers say. They’re optimistic, as long as we don’t have a setback, which we don’t anticipate,” Rivera said after Sunday’s final practice in Spartanburg."

 

Sounds like we won't see Cam at all this preseason, which makes me worry even more.

Dont worry about things you cant control

[csx]

Duh

 

Why are you more worried when before you thought he wouldn't even play week 1?

I've been thinking about this.  

A great deal of people have focused on Cam's footwork breaking down and causing bad throws. 
This off season and most of training camp all Cam is working on is footwork and mechanics. 

This may end up being a blessing in disguise. 

Plus he is throwing, which means that his arm is structurally sound, and it sounds more like making sure his range of movement isn't getting restricted by soreness and developing bad throwing habits to protect his shoulder.   Even if he takes some off of his passes Cam has the arm strength to spare. 

Still feeling pretty good about Cam.  Not as good as if there were no restrictions, but comfortable that there isn't somthing crazy going on behind the scenes.

Where was the concern in week 17 last year?  All time dumb.  

Saints in week 3.  DO NOT RISK ANYTHING MORE long term if he's not 100% before then.

I think Cam just tried to do too much in those first couple of practices and they had to reign him in a little bit. He had no business trying to throw 30-40yd passes right off the bat. In fact, RR has pretty much said just that. The fact that they only let him throw in the red zone yesterday pretty much confirms that because it forces him to keep his throws short.

Man, if he somehow fixes his damn footwork and mechanics in one offseason, that'll be incredible.

If anyone truly thought Cam was playing in the preseason they were kidding themselves.

I thought game 3 would be a maybe, other than that, naaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I imagine he will play at least a quarter against Jax, just to get some live action reps against another team. We all know what Cam can do, at this point it's just about developing timing with his new weapons.

Is anyone actually surprised

And watch us lose the first 2 games when DA starts throwing picks in the endzone
