Stew had foot issues too ?  I thought it was always his ankles.

Yeah but still..my point is about getting your very expensive human asset to the best specialist sooner rather than later.

I've seen a few people take that viewpoint.

From the flipside though, wouldn't you want to employ doctors that you already trusted on your staff?

Throw in that Newton had already consulted his own doctors for a second opinion.

I do  sort of remember that now.  Both feet wasn't it ?

My understanding as a guy who found anything beyond high school chemistry taxing is that Medicine is a highly complex field, one in which extremely intelligent adults spend their entire careers focusing on one area of it. 

The Panthers I would assume employ highly skilled doctors, but they do not employ specialists full time, so getting your lynchpin of the team and highest paid player to a top specialist quickly wouldn’t be about whether you trust your in house doc so much as he’s by design more of a generalist and should be.

It can't be that complicated. On TV they always solve even the most complicated issues in less than an hour!

I’m not sourcing this as news. It was an interesting piece of commentary.

Hasn't Fiz said something similar in the past?

Oh my.

 

Not a surprise.  Raised huge red flags when we found out he lied about the extent of the injury in the first place, which ended up costing us two games.  His heart may have been in the right place but maybe he just can't help himself and is foolishly pushing himself too fast too quick once again.

 

Tom Brady crumples into a ball on the ground when it looks like a big hit is coming.  Notice he's still playing at damn near 43 years old.

 

As they say, discretion is the better part of valor.

This.

My question is why are you only now sending your franchise qb to-the top foot guy in the country? Why wait til he’s been out over a month before involving the top guy? You have 20 million invested in Cam this year, that’s over a million a game. Whatever it might cost you to immediately involve the top professional after an injury pales in comparison to what you’re paying Cam to not play per game.

I think linsfranc is a fairly common injury so I doubt Cam and the team thought he needed a specialist or the best foot guy in America. I guess when rehab wasn't working Cam and whoever decided the current team of doctors were stumped. Or just needed a new set of eyes.

[Mr. Scot]

Think of it this way...

If nothing new comes from visiting the additional doctors, then could you really say the original doctors did anything wrong?
