Also sez McCaffrey is the best player on the team and that's why the ball was put into his hands on the 4th & inches.

Why would Cam Newton be refusing to run?

I’m pretty sure that’s just an opinion of what he has seen from Cam as in Cam isn’t scrambling or keeping on read options rather than a sourced report that Cam has told the coaches he won’t run the ball.

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah, it's just speculation.

Is there a plausible scenario in which Cam would refuse to run?

Is there something about which he could be angry enough to say "screw it I'm not putting my body on the line for this bullsh*t"...?!?

Something could be a new contract.

Probably refusing to run because he is hit enough already. The dude is banged up. He has played through so many injuries since getting here. Its catching up to him, unfortunately.

Has he even requested a new contract yet?  

Obviously I don't know Newton personally, but he's never really seemed like a guy concerned with money.  Like it felt like he hit his contract extension with Gettleman easy.

I doubt he's thinking too hard about his next contract.  I think he just wants to play better.

McCaffrey is a pup that hasn't won anything yet. Stop with that best player sht. Its still Cam Newton and Luke, those are still the Panthers best players. All that McCaffrey is the best is similar to KB. KB was force fed to make him look like the solution, he wasn't.

Highly doubt that he’s intentionally “refusing” to run. Maybe not running due to physical limitations.

If true he should be listed on the weekly Injury Report.

The NFL is dead serious about the Injury Report and sanctions for violating the rules around it are serious --- Cam hasn't been on the Injury Report either week.
