File it under questions that should have had answers months ago.  They'll get around to figuring it out at some point, I guess.

One would think that would be a priority to assess that condition of a vital part of his investment, right?

I thought this was odd also. Rivera does not know if he needs surgery either, so how long is this going to take to find out? Are they going to wait so that he can’t recover by training camp? He’s on Instagram posting videos of intense workouts on the stationary bike and smoking cigars in the Rolls Royce in ATL (this is not a dig he can do what he wants in the offseason), but no reports from anyone on him rehabbing, getting opinions etc. it seems like a normal offseason for him so far. This all seems very hush hush for a surgery he is two years removed from. Cams health decides the fate of the team for the foreseeable future and I hope he gets healthy as soon as possible. It is very frustrating though to have so many people within the organization say they have no idea if he needs surgery.

You guys seriously think that's a straight answer? There's zero chance he doesn't know exactly what's going on with Cam, though the extent of that knowledge may still be as limited as Cam indicated it was.

I'm not saying to force him!  I'm saying that he should know whether Cam's going to need it or not.

Why do you continue to say this? It’s absolutely insane to think that a team who is paying him over 100 million wouldn’t make him get an MRI, or just be cool with him refusing to do so. It would possibly allow the panthers to void his contract. With something as important as his throwing shoulder, you think Cam would risk having his career end short because he is scared of getting an MRI?

The team cannot make cam do anything medically. It's his body.

Looks like Fiz has had a bad day so it's time to bang the Cam is selfish drum again.

If he is refusing to allow team doctors the chance to correctly diagnose and treat a known injury that effects his ability to play professional football (the game that the panthers are paying over 100 million for his services) then that would allow the team to void the contract. The statement that he refuses to get an MRI is made up. Show me any crumb of proof to that.........I’ll patiently wait.
