Greg Little

Greg Little still has the outside possibility of being able to play Sunday.

Cam Newton has a 0% chance of playing, regardless of being in attendance.

Air Pressure effects body based injuries, like what Cam Newton has.  As far as I know, it doesn't have any recovery effects on someone on the tail end of concussion protocol.

Cam Newton was not the only player missing from the flight.

It is crazy to me how people don't understand this, and act like there is no difference.

If you were sick, what seems like the more daunting task?  Flying about an hour to go relax at home, or a 6 hour cross country flight to a foreign land to go support all of your friends at a party?

There is definitely a difference.

Its really not.  Sustained air pressure is a commonly known issue that can effect a player recovering from injury.

There was an articule last year about Deshaun Watson not flying with the Texans to Jacksonville, instead taking a bus.  Just to avoid the sustained air pressure effect on a bruised leg and injured ribs.

I can respect that, but if flights are deemed bad for his recovery why would he go on any? 

 

I just feel feel like the reason he is not with the team is a simple one- no chance of playing, maybe it’s a team policy to not travel to London if you aren’t going to play. I can’t imag that the cost would be the factor but maybe there is just some internal protocol in effect here. 

I don’t buy the gloom that there is something “else” going on- Cam is the QB. When he is healed he will be back. For better or for worse.

Cam really has the audacity to spend his bye week with his loved ones by taking a 1 hr flight

According to Kayak and Orbitz, its 7h55m going to London.  9h10m return flight.

Maybe the Panthers have faster jets.

They had an epic tail wind this time. The average time is 8 hours.

Yep. When you fly all the blood in your body goes to your feet/legs causing swelling and inflammation. Even with compression gear, it can still raise concerns with any type of injury.

Not a social media person. But do we know he went to Atlanta for sure? Seems kind of odd he’d be showing up at the airport just about when it would be time to board a flight to London.

Get off Cam Newtons nutsack. Come on man. Every single thing he does is held under a fuging microscope.

I'm so glad we're not all wasting our precious time on this earth speculating as to where a rich young pro athlete might be going in an airport when he's not playing for the team we support this weekend, cause that would really be a thing that had no real bearing on the team, but just kind of made us all look sadly obsessive.

What difference is sitting on a plane for 6-8 hours or 1 hour when your injury is a foot? Flight time is entirely irrelevant.

 

 

virchow's triad bitch do you speak it

So many fuging retards on this forum. Let me spell it out for you.

Cam isn’t playing in the London game. Therefore he does not need to go to the London game. Cam is going to spend time with his family instead. This is ok.

the audacity of CLT for having other departing flights when the Panthers are clearly traveling to London!!!!!!!!

I'm glad there's a second thread on this.  Now, we can really get to the bottom of it!

Well, this might be an indication that he is almost all healed up and ready to go then.  Maybe the injury part is pretty much cleared up, and now he just needs to get his strength and whatever back?
