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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
