How good is the Panthers' medical staff?

Going from memory, why are our players NOT healing?  Look at what has happened to core players over the past 2-3 years:

  • OT Williams comes back before we thought he would/should, re injures knee (during a contract year too).  We all figured the knee was not as bad as initially reported.  He did not complete his first game back.  To IR, misses season--career ending? 

  • TE Olsen hurts foot in 2017 and plays seven games--has surgery.  Injures same foot in 2018, plays nine games.  To IR.  Thank God Marty extended his deal. 

  • QB Cam Newton has shoulder surgery in March, 2017---about 3 months after the season ends. Waiting 3 months to have surgery was curious.   Misses camp, rehabbing.  This year, the same injury resurfaces. 
  • C Ryan Kalil had recurring injuries in 2016 and 2017.  Neck.  Played a total of 16 games in 2 seasons. 

Recurring injuries to core players are too common here.  As we enter the off-season, the only player listed above without a big question mark is Ryan Kalil, who is retiring.  I know NFL players play hurt, but there seems to be some malpractice going on here.  Please, do not lecture me about football injuries--these are not normal situations.

Is Ron too involved in the players' recovery timetables, rehab?   Are the team doctors/trainers/strength coach on the same page?

I wonder....

Players see specialists in private practices around Charlotte and beyond all the time. My wife used to work for one. She saw a different player almost every week.

Sure--but they (trainers/med staff) oversee the players' recovery--communicate with doctors, develop rehab programs, etc.

I have said in the past that the medical team sucks and strength and conditioning team. How was KB and Dj Moore tired and winded from running which is what wrs do. KB wasn' a good example but it looks to me the trainers dont push the guys nor does the medical staff and Ron. Ron defers to medical staff, medical staff defers to players.

This is a legit question that goes back a bit further IMO.  Why was Thomas Davis allowed on the practice field during OTA's after his first ACL tear in 2009 season without a knee brace? 

And why did they allow Jon Beason so quickly back on the field during the 2011 opener when it was clear his Achilles was acting up?

We only have one more game

Very solid points. I will point out Torrey Smith had knee surgery and no one knew about it. Not saying that’s a bad medical move, but why didn’t anyone know? Maybe we could use a better trainer? 

You implying that a player's medical history being kept private is somehow a bad thing? I don't understand your comment or how it applies to the quality of the Panthers medical team.

You could just as easily ask “how is their strength and conditioning program?”

Oh no of course not, I’m just saying what else is being hid. Did it botch is that why it was hid? Normally we hear about those things but his was kept hush hush for some reason. I can’t assumre to know what they are telling Cam, nor assume his injury, I was just asking why the secrecy with some things?

edit: This is probably not a good thread to bring this up, but I didn’t want to start a new one and it involved the medical staff.

I'm sure it's far worse than every other teams. 

Actually, the difference between NFL medical staffs is non fuging existent, nimrods

This unsupported comment is confusing because it makes no sense---impossible, if you want to know the truth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.

      I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
