Tepper has "no idea" whether Cam Newton needs surgery

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.

no they have no idea because cam refuses to get an mri

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.

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.

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
