Yikes

Some of you are pretty damn clueless for people who follow this team 24/7

Definitely interesting. Tug of war possibilities:

1. Cam and his people vs. the coaching staff (if Cam thinks he’s back to 100% and Ron wants to drag it out to avoid the tough decision and keep playing Kyle)

2. Tepper vs. coaching staff (Ron wants to go back to Cam, Tepper wants to see what he has for the future and doesn’t trust Cam’s health)

3. (unlikely) Hurney vs. Ron (could be possible as someone else suggested that Hurney wants Cam and Ron wants Allen but I don’t think that Hurney has any real say in the matter so this is unlikely and Ron would go with who he wants)

4. Kyle vs. Cam (meaning by their play on the field, or the risk/reward between them. If Cam starts practicing and is “100%” but doesn’t look amazing in practice while Kyle keeps up has play, that’s a lot different than Cam coming into practice dropping dimes)

I think the most likely is number 1 to be honest.

You know, I hadn't thought of this till now, but something to think about with regard to Option 1.

The Panthers have been extremely tight-lipped about the situation, with Rivera giving what's some have been calling "scripted answers". 

Within those answers, there's a lot of talk about "patience" and "not rushing", which fits into the beat reporters' belief that the Panthers will "slow play" this.

Then on the flipside, you have the tweet from Schefter about Newton being ready to go. That was attributed to "a league source", which nine times out of ten equates to somebody's agent.

And now Person alludes to a possible tug of war.

Okay 

Don't know if it means anything, but it does fall under the category of "things that make you go hmmm".

Yeah it’s pretty damn likely that Schefter’s source was not from the team, but from Cam’s group.

the most successful franchises in the NFL have a history of letting players go elsewhere before they hit the wall-and the players seem to do worse once released or traded.  New England, Pittsburgh are famous for it.

It’s pretty clear.  Team is winning and Cam isn’t ready so Ron is like “ why is this even a question?  Talk to me in a month if we lose and Cam is ready to step in. This is a distraction for us prepping for next game, I don’t want to hear any more.”

Way to stick your neck out, Joe Person.  There might be a battle for the QB job.  Stop the presses.

That's not really what he's saying.

The tug of war is between Hurney and Rivera

 

Hurney has always liked Cam Newton, he took a big risk drafting him at #1 and feels an attachment to his draft pick

Ron Rivera has always been an anti-cam guy, "I'd have taken a shot"/benched him for not wearing a tie

 

   Straight past Trolling to the Walt Disney School of Fiction? This is so sad. 
 

   RR was the one who chose Cam. Hurney wasn’t in Auburn at his Pro Day. As is plainly stated in the article(you know an actual statement or two that helps show you not just lying) Rivera was convinced before Hurney had ever seen Cam in person. And according to AU coaches, Shula was in his corner and pounding the table before Pro Day.

       Rivera also recalled when he saw Newton before his pro day. As the coach sat in the stands, he watched as players gravitated toward Newton. Rivera knew that natural-born jerks didn't draw people to them like that, and his instincts were affirmed in pre-draft meetings.

Rivera also recalled when he saw Neh.  I asked Mike [Shula] why we should take Cam, he mentioned everything the kid had gone through," Rivera said, "He'd transferred from Florida, gone to junior college, and won the Heisman and national championship at Auburn. Mike said that through all that, the kid never broke down. If Cam could do that, he could handle being the No. 1 pick." pro day.do that, he could handle being the No. 1 pick."

I was talking to Person.

Did you not state that you were not sure what he meant?  Seems it is subject to interpretation, but I want to hear your point--I was thinking the QB battle all along---but tug of war is a bad metaphor for that.   I have been busy and maybe skimmed over the obvious.  Enlighten me. #4 was an option.  Pulling, as one does in a tug of war, is not a vivid picture.  But Joe spikes his hair at age 45.

I've been very critical of Cam lately but even I know if He's 100% healthy, TRULY healthy, body and mind, there's no contest man. Cam will always be the starter. 

 

People just need clicks...

In the context of the Q&A, he wasn't talking about the position battle itself. It was a "tug of war" over when/if Newton is reinserted into the lineup.

Allen and Newton aren't the ones who make that decision so the tug-of-war can't really be between them.

Could be disagreement between the coaches as well. Hard to say.

No chance.  Football coaches are all on the same page.

At this point the only coach that matter is Coach Tish Guerin.

Can you be just a bit more obvious there cherry troll? Don’t try so hard. Sign in under a different alt and you may get some traction.

1.One shoulder injury...this isn't a oh he hurt it again.... it never healed or maybe he didnt sit out the two years like luck did. Same injury just takes a very long time to heal.

2. Daryl William's at left tackle in the preason was when the foot was injured. Like literally the first preason game probably the first drive. And it's a foot.. you cant get more fragile(unless you got whatever Olsen has going on) in your foot just like you cant build up more muscle to protect a foot. It was a more a coincidence and bad blocking than cam being more injury prone.

(unless you got whatever Olsen has going on)

Wow, your obsession with Cam has no barriers
