This foot re-injury story does not add up....it's a smokescreen.

Cam showed no signs of an injury in the game. 

If he was injured the Panthers were obligated to provide an In-Game Injury Report (there was none).

Cam walked normally after the game, wore his normal street shoes, no boot was required.

If there really is a tweak/injury it must be WAY less serious than the original sprain, this is the good news.

Last time there were x-rays taken, a boot was utilized, the GM provided an update the next day ("We are cautiously optimistic he will be ready for Week 1.") including a probable time-line for return.  Cam returned to practice, albeit with limited participation, 4-days after the Patriots game.

We've established that if there is a tweak of the sprain it's less serious than the original injury and here we are just finding out about it on day-5?  And he can't practice and there's zero disclosure on a probable time-frame, etc...?

Doesn't add up.  This is a smokescreen....

....eventually the smoke will clear and we will learn the truth.

Smokescreen for what?

I can think of two options:

1. He really has fallen out of love with the game and the team is using the foot as cover to give him time to figure what he wants to do. It going public that he is have mental issues would not be good for him. He admitted to battling some depression last year.

2. It’s actually the shoulder and we don’t want other teams to know it’s the shoulder.

I really hope it’s option 3 and it’s just the foot, but the OP is right that foot thing doesn’t really add up. Possible he did hurt it a little but I have a hard time seeing it being hurt enough to completely prevent him from playing.

teams simply  don't disclose all injuries on an injury report.  We know that is a fact.  As our own players when the season has ended have then admitted to all sorts of injuries that they played with for weeks.  And team clearly was aware.

How long is the mod crew planning on letting OP drag this alt out? How much idiocy do you need to see?

If the team was aware of injuries and didn’t report it the union would have a field day

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
