Not sure if this has been posted. But from what I gather it sounds like and I quote" Cam has done everything we have asked of him and we dont want to put pressure on him". He speaks on why he hadn't been at Games and why he didnt make all the trips because that's what the team asked of him. But if you read into what was said it sounds like the ball is in Cams court. You can return when your ready but just make sure your 100% ready...

Unfortunately it may turn out like that.  He looked defeated out there physically and mentally, and he fills the void of football with everything else to numb the pain.

If that is actually the case, who could blame him?  The refs have allowed opposing defensive players to launch into Cam head first with impunity year after year.  Afterwards telling Cam he is too young to get the same calls other QBs routinely get for much lesser infractions.

lol at the people that think this

Exactly... this is the first injury that has kept him out of an appreciable amount of games.

Somehow that has been lost in all of this.  The media wants to portray that he has missed as many games as Luck did, which is absurd.

The foot injury is, at this point, nothing more than a freak thing that happened.  I'm sure Cam has been frustrated that it happened after he worked so hard after his shoulder injury, but these things happen.

Drew Brees is going to miss just as many if not more games than Cam at 40+ years old, and people aren't calling him injury-prone b/c of a freak thing with Aaron Donald ripping his thumb loose from his hand.

Injuries simply happen in football.  It doesn't mean Cam's body is breaking down.  That is just feeding a stupid, media-driven narrative.

Cam is just 30 years old and in phenomenal shape.  He is still very much his prime as a QB.

And even if he has lost half a step, when healthy, he is still very much a running threat.

And his shoulder certainly looked 100% during training camp and the first 2 games.  If his foot is right and he can push off, he should be fine and effective.

This say so much what I have been trying to portray.. people act like Newton just became frail this year and its over...  I could never picture him quitting football if his body allows him to play.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
