Not going to argue the CMC thing. We very well may have still gotten him. Who knows?

But, my point is that the team/medical staff has the ability to pull the plug on a player. It isn't the player's call. There was ZERO reason for Cam to be in that game. None. Nada. Zilch. Zero potential upside. Even if further injury wasn't a risk, there was no benefit. All the time he spent prepping for that game and playing in that game could've been spent resting/rehabbing. Maybe if that rest/rehab cycle would've started a week earlier they would've realized his injury required surgery that much sooner and he could be that much further ahead in his recover. Maybe he could've had more participation in camp and preseason and developed more chemistry with his new OL and receivers. Ifs, buts, and maybes, but the common theme is that there was zero potential benefit to play Cameron Jerrell Newton in that football game. 

 

It is true that Cam was medically cleared to play. It is also true that Rivera did not want him to play. It is true that Cam playing was probably a silly idea. But...it is also true that Cam WANTED to play for his team mates. And that is what it comes down to. Cam giving his all for his mates.

 

They gave Cam 2 months off before testing his shoulder and deciding he needed surgery. One week would not make that big of a difference.

 

To me, and I know surgery is always the last option. But man, if they would have just gone ahead and done that surgery instead of waiting, things would look so much better now. Although, from what I have heard, Cam has been a full go at practice. So he should be a full go for the 9er game. So we have that going for us.

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
