Cam Newton is now considering surgery to repair his injured foot according to reports ..

 

"This week, however, that situation may have changed.

Almost certainly out for the season, Newton is now considering surgery to repair the Lisfranc injury in his foot, sources say. The procedure, which would come in the next week or two, has a recovery time of eight-to-10 weeks -- three months at the most."

This just adds to the confusion surrounding his situation. It was reported last week that a surgery was not recommended.

This also will put a giant damper on any trade talks that may transpire.

Wait, I thought the Drs said he was good to go?  Then he was put on IR and now he elects to get surgery.  This situation gets more weird as it unfolds.

 

Don't you know? Everything is fine and this is normal. Some of the most intelligent posters on this very board will tell you so. There's nothing suspicious or weird about this at all

It's not really weird if you simply go by the assumption that the reports before the bye were just wrong. Those guys are often wrong and just putting stories out. Doctors can say surgery is optional and not necessary and Newton can mull it over. It doesnt have to be a scandal just because we get tidbits and try to connect dots.

This is true. Reporters are always looking to stir the pot. “Not recommended” is likely to bring much more attention to the story than “optional”. This seems like the most likely scenario.

Conversely, Cam could just be grasping at straws since he hasn’t seen the results from the rest and wait game. This happens a lot in the real world when patients aren’t seeing the results that they expect. I can only imagine that a hyper-competitive professionally football player would feel the same way after 2 months of rest. Again though, the recommended recovery time table to lisfranc is 9-12 months normally so that could be what the doctors have told Cam and he doesn’t want to wait that long.

Thanks for the update as always. Question though, how would this put a damper on trade talks if he is recovered by February/March?

QB with previously sprained foot sounds much better than QB recovering from foot surgery.

What makes you think that a trade is an option? I personally think we would be crazy to trade him, you dont give away a franchise qb, injury history or not. Players get injured and come back almm the time and the potential of a healthy cam is worth being patient for. We can keep Allen for cheap either way.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
