Cam Newton is not healthy. Is it time to bench him for his own good?

[Banjo]

I love Cam, but he simply doesn't look like himself. Shoulder surgeries for QBs should not be taken lightly. I think this is a question that needs to be asked.

[Butterflyj30]

Maybe they could bring someone end and let Cam Heal!! DA is not the answer

[Steves89]

Igo mentioned the vicious cycle of his accuracy and soreness in another thread. This would be the way to fix it. Let him get right. I am angrier about him playing injured last year and not getting treatment when he needed it than I am about just about anything. That decision screwed us, and if he doesn't get well it could be disastrous for his career.

2016 called...

[Camp Fodder]

Should have traded for Brissett

[FuFuLamePoo]

This honestly is a fair question.  He's clearly not healthy and has no confidence.  The question is what options do you realistically have that gives you a better chance at winning?

[t96]

At 2-1 no. At some point putting him on IR could become a discussion but not yet.

[electro's horse]

Yes. 

[Pimpdaddy]

yea...he could watch some mathew stafford film...

[TheRed]

Nobody even actually knows for sure where he's at health wise. Not even Igo.

Sitting him isn't an option.

[LinvilleGorge]

If this is the best he can be without being allowed to fully recover, then yeah. We need to sit him for his own good and ours as well.

Generally the policy is that if you can't practice, you can't play.

We're not doing him or the team any favors putting him out there if it's hampering his recovery. We need a fully healthy Cam if we're going to make any noise.

[Mr. Scot]

Kind of a moot point because we know our HC won't do that... unless he forgets to wear a tie.
