Tepper has "no idea" whether Cam Newton needs surgery

I wish there was an actual injury that can be pointed to for Cam's shoulder issues. Then you could at least work toward a surgery and recovery.  If he's not injured, it makes me feel like his arm strength is simply gone beyond repair and that his career is almost over.

I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable discussing anyone's medical situation outside my own, for both medical and legal reasons. HIPAA, ethics and a whole host of other things in today's suit-happy society and in a time when big name stars have started red-shirting themselves for preservation and new contracts.

We probably won't know anything until either Cam comes out with the information, training camp and official injury reports come around or, and I hope this won't be, we hear that he's hanging up the cleats.

Can't blame Tepper for not saying anything substantive.

    • He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
