Before we clamor for Cam's return against the Titans..


Peon Awesome

Let's actually make sure he is 100% unequivocally healthy. Thrusting Cam back in from injury too soon got us in this position in the first place. The Titans are a team on par with the teams we've been beating with Allen the previous 4 weeks so we shouldn't be making short-sighted decisions from a point of desperation. I'd love to have Cam back for a game before Green Bay to work out some rust, but if he breaks off for a run against the Titans and starts limping, you're pretty much resigned to putting him on IR at that point and might as well kiss goodbye any chance at making noise this year. It makes me wary that he just recently started working the sidelines in practice. Do you go from that point to starting QB in a week? I don't know but I'd hope if you do, you are damn sure he's good to go. Because this isn't about 1 week; this is for the season.

The only people that are clamoring for Cam to rush back right now is Twitter. People inside the locker room, I’m fairly certain they have Kyle’s back. If they don’t, there’s a bigger problem than Kyle Allen at hand.

And you’re right, from a football perspective, there’s no reason to rush any of this. This is a brutal NFC this year. The likelihood of making the playoffs is still relatively low, even with Newton coming back right now. He hasn’t practiced in a while, and he needs some time to get back into a rhythm. Plus, that foot needs to be healthy enough to instill confidence in both the passing and running piece of his game. I would imagine by now the shoulder is pristine, and it looked awesome in camp.

If you felt like the last four weeks were brutal in terms of the noise, meaning the media and Twitter, it’s only gonna get worse. Today didn’t solve anything.

I had folks on Twitter telling me, well at least now we got that Kyle v Cam thing resolved.

That’s right shit4brains: And you’re going home with a 51-13 loss. But go ahead and, keep telling yourself that the process for Newton’s return has been accelerated in your own mind.

The reality is nothing changed his timetable Sunday. Only a full recovery makes his return feasible. The staff would be highly irresponsible to bring him back any sooner. The quarterback would also be irresponsible to interject himself into that mix.

    • You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful. 
    • Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.
    • On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
