They declared him out so he can’t play. I would assume that also means he is not medically cleared yet either.

Edit:

Chao thinks he could be cleared to play but won’t be 100% so it would be similar to Week 1 and 2. Best to keep letting him heal.

100% is the key. But it’s not 100% they want him at 110%.

Glad to see he is progressing. He has earned the right to go in when he knows he can deliver a performance we and he have come to expect. He isn't done until he can't perform at a high level with no physical malady. It's great he has the time to ease back in. The whole trade him conversation if we win on Sunday is crazy talk. If for no other reason than if Allen gets hurt we need Cam to keep things going. Especially during our toughest stretch of the season.. If Cam is that valuable now, he would be that valuable then after coming back and playing well this season. Perhaps more. But as asked earlier, if he is that valuable why get rid of him at all. Both are under contract through 2020. Ride this train as long as we can watching the team work together by hook or crook to cobble a won. Allen, Newton, everyone else coming together.

Being 100% heathy and 100% in football shape ready to go in and take hits to that foot including someone stepping on it on purpose are two very different things. Cam is the first but not yet the second. I wonder how long he has been throwing on that foot and running or cutting. Doesn't sound like it is imminent for him to start unless he has some really good practices and Allen is struggling. Otherwise ride the hot hand until it cools off. Then there is a decision down the road.

So glad he is traveling with the team....nothing at all to do with me personally but I really don't think I could take another week of our cry baby fan base, boohooing about him not traveling with the team.  Now all I will have to deal with the rest of the next week is Newton not doing enough on the sidelines or what he wore before the game.  Awesome....one less thing to hear about when it comes to Newton and what he does while NOT playing football.

The fact that he can travel is huge.  Traveling via plane alone can cause great issue with recovering from injury.  If he is well enough to travel in a plane, he has definitely hit the "well enough to play" mark.  Obviously the goal is get him to 100%, not just "well enough to play".  Fortunately, we don't have to rush him.

He flew to Atl several of the weekends we had away games.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
