Cam is competitive as hell. He’ll do all he has to to get back to form no doubt. And so for that reason, if he isn’t, we will know he’s done.

If he is back, no one will be unhappy about that.

Cam's major issue since the first surgery was range of motion. If that's fixed, his arm strength should return. Should also help with the fatigue issue 

Im trying to figure out how you INCREASE range of motion in a 30 year old throwing athlete's shoulder after 2 operations?  If anything after 2 surgeries his entire shoulder joint will be much tighter with much less RoM.  I sincerely hope this is not the case with Cam and he comes out lighting it up this year.  I have my reservations though...

The second surgery was done to clean up his shoulder. Basically the first injury was a tear to his rotator cuff. Since then there was some damage done to his cartilage in his shoulder. This surgery was to clean that up.

To my understanding, the scar tissue was what was limiting his ROM.

Also the 2nd procedure was more of a scope than ''surgery'' per se. Think oil change after the build up lol. 

To me the media is just hyping it because it garners attention, no one outside of a Panther's fan base really knows what's going on so they bite on the '' exaggerated POV '' from the media, hell even more casual fans don't really seem to know what's actually going on in a lot of cases surrounding the team. 

I think Kalil went on air prior to the (11-5) season and broke it down a bit. Think it was the Rich Eisen show / podcast. Paraphrasing basically said the OG surgery wasn't as big a deal as it was made out to be. I think the 11-5 year backed that up, same as the 6-2 start, All goes back to the TJ Watt hit for me...

Right, but wont going in there again create even more scar tissue?  I know they can go in and clean it up, but wouldnt the simple fact of another invasive operation create more scar tissue?

Yes the team went 11-5 but Cam didn't throw down the field well that season or really since the surgery. He's had range issues since middle of that 11-5 season and it's just gotten worse and worse. I do think the watt hit made everything that much worse though.

It wasn't just scar damage, there was some direct cartilage damage from the limited range and additional pressure being put on the shoulder

Yeah, I remember the doc commenting on the "cartilage not being as bad as they thought," but, I wasnt sure how that tied into the scar tissue.

I am basing what Im saying off of my own personal experience.  Mind you I was never in the same galaxy athletically or physically as Cam, but a shoulder is a shoulder, and surgery is surgery.  I tore my rotator cuff / labrum and had orthoscopic surgery to fix it.  They made it so tight that I could not lift my arm over my head for about 2 years.  I was a pitcher all the way thru college, and my arm was never the same.  I just know that once you go in and start messing with a throwers shoulder, very rarely do good things happen.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
