Ask yourself why this didn't happen a month ago.

Weird. Just yesterday Jonathan Jones said that he had decided against it.

Jeez, he was waiting for the presser to end?

GTFO.  Why in all hell did he wait so long.

Apparently this means he should be healthy by March.

Why does he always wait 2,3,4 months to get surgery after an injury that requires it?  

[Captroop]

Good! He has almost a full year to recover. We have a year to fix up our line. Cam didn't strain his recovering shoulder. And Cam has saved himself an entire season of abuse over the last two seasons. I think the last two years may have prolonged his career.

I hope he bounces back stronger than ever next season!

Because we had to fire that reason yesterday?

[Wire Dawg]

Why can't things just go smoothly for once? Always so much drama, why can't we go back to just winning games and not being the talk of the NFL?

This is more of a Cam Newton thing. He likes to holistically heal unless no other options are left.

I see what you're getting at

Pretty sure anytime there is a ''chance'' an injury can heal without surgery you take that ''chance''. This is another persons body being opened up not your own. You listen to any current or former player they all reference waiting over the knife if there is an option. 

It's media outlets, and casuals that feed that narrative of have the surgery immediately even if medical PROFESSIONALS are advising this has the opportunity to heal on it's own, and that surgery is the last resort to repair the injury. 

Likely didn't happen a month ago because we still had a long-shot at the playoffs and potentially a hope of his return.

Whatever keeps him from playing another down here....I’m all for it. 
 

EDIT: This is because I don’t want Cam playing for a rebuilding team and that OL. This is not a shot at Cam in any way.
