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

They mentioned this on WFNZ

 

Ron just brushed off a question talking as it was fine when Person asked about the ankle.  There was no visial grieving pain during the game and Cam has shown it before.

And the film as national writers have pointed out that think his should is about done.

 

They mentioned on WFNZ everything has compounded down Shoulder, Foot, confidence.  They think he could be about completly broke like Luck and this a smokescreen

You're wrong.  There was one play that Newton was running out of bounds and came up hobbling.  That was probably when it happened.

I saw the same play you are referencing.  He winced and hopped around once or twice, and then went back in and showed no evidence of it being a hindrance.  Players get physically tweaked in all kinds of ways in-game and shake it off and move on down the road.  

No sideline examination, no x-rays, no boot, walking normally in his own street shoes.....one can only conclude it is less meaningful than the original sprain against Patriots and he should be back soon....

....unless that is it's a smokescreen.  

Ron just got up and embarrassed himself at the 2.30pm press conference.

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.

There is another option that is unthinkable to most on the Huddle.  Maybe Cam is being benched.  Maybe Ron is tired of watching Cam miss these opportunities/wide open receivers over the past 8 games or so and he keeps believing we missed and wants to see if someone else can do better.  Maybe its not injury related at all.

Or maybe it's just missed opportunities.

its curious that on espn they said earlier that he called in today to tell them his foot hurt.  he was at airport last night, not getting treatment like ron has said.  anybody know if he was even in the building today?   this is just weird.

Well that sort of goes with the shoulder in option 2

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
