Cam to see foot specialist

[Icege]

upset that Cam's foot isn't responding to treatment, happy that the team is allowing him the time he needs still

[Happy Panther]

Hope not but that is depressing.

Worst case scenario now that Cam is done this year is us finishing 7-9 again. Fire Ron and tank for a top 10 pick

7-9 and Ron using Cam's injury as an excuse to buy himself another year truly would be the worst case scenario.

Should have seen the “top doctor” from the beginning.  Jesus.  I don’t understand all this.  Every time he gets hurt it feels like we take this wait and see approach and it just makes poo worse.

Not panicking yet.  Rapaport, Schefter, etc arent always 100% on their sources.  They Do hit some but also miss plenty.

 

Lets wait until we find a little more info before we panic.

I would imagine, at least I would hope, this particular owner would be placing enough emphasis on unemotional data to make an unemotional decision about his head coach at the end of the season.

To suggest that Ron has a built-in excuse and will get a “pass” would also suggest that you’re dealing with an owner too gullible to distinguish the difference between systemic issues and just shitty luck. 

There are a lot of dynamics at play. And there still a half-season of football left. Again, I would certainly hope this regime would not hand out any free passes.

According to Rodrigue this would be his THIRD opinion. He was working with team doctors and his own staff of physicians in Atlanta

Newton’s visit to Anderson, a source told The Athletic, means that Newton is seeking a third opinion on his foot. He is working with the Panthers’ medical staff and his own team of physicians in Atlanta, but has become frustrated with the fickle nature of the injury and anxious about how slow it has taken to heal.

Again I ask, why haven't we ird cam? Do we hate having extra roster spaces when a guy is clearly not going to come back for a long time? At worst he could have been on short-term IR.

No need to freak out.

If I were a multi-millionaire and had a foot injury, I'd seek out the best medical expert available as money, time and distance wouldn't be limiting factors.

This whole thing isn't making any sense to me.  So someone leaked that Cam was good and ready to play.  He's been on the sidelines, working out, traveling with the team...Then Marty has a "long talk" with him so he is going to go see a specialist now?  What happened?

Get well soon young man!

Just read Rodrigue's article in The Athletic (quoted above).

Honestly, the more I read, the less optimistic it sounds.

Here’s the full report from Jourdan. Thought it might be a good idea to post a link:

Yep. I was waiting for a little more trickle out today, and it’s trickling.
