NFL Report states Cam had "substantial" knee damage

Recommended Posts

I know there's a thread about the concussion finding, but I thought this might warrant its own thread:

In the NFL investigation on whether the Panthers followed concussion protocol after the hit to the eye that Cam took, an interesting nugget was buried.  The reason Cam awkwardly fell to the ground was because he could not bend his knee.  From the NFL.com article

Quote

 

Per the investigation, when "Newton elected to 'take a knee' while coming off the field, he did so in an awkward fashion because he could not bend his right knee normally."

"He had an MRI a day later and it showed substantial damage and a lot of swelling, that's the reason he can't fully bend it as he goes to the ground," Sills told Rapoport.

 

I had not heard about a knee injury before.  I saw tweets indicating be does not need surgery but I don't love the "substantial" descriptor.

He's one of the toughest QB's this league has ever seen.

It's a shame our fanbase doesn't appreciate him more.

He nearly shreds his knee carrying the run game, and you've got people losing their minds over footwork.

He throw off his back foot dood

knee injuries are never good but if the MRI revealed that he didn't need surgery then there is nothing to really worry about... He's got 7 months to heal.

I'm glad they are saying he doesn't need surgery now. I'm just concerned that they used "substantial" to describe the damage they found. Sounds like there could be a potential ticking time bomb situation. Hopefully I'm over-reacting. 

I also hope they don't change their mind in March and decide then that he DOES need surgery.

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
