Wait Tepper just said last week that if Cam is healthy he will be back. A week later he is now healthy. Something seems off about this.

 

I think they are going to trade Cam, seems like they are trying to find out who will be the next QB and just using Cam's health as an excuse to delay the process.

He didnt say that

As usual, Juan's title doesn't accurately reflect the content (and no, that's not an accident).

Rodrigue says that the Panthers believe Newton will be healthy enough to pass a physical in March.

Juan's been banned for pulling this sh-t before. Won't exactly be shocked if he's permabanned at some point.

...The SpeculationJuan is a better name...

Passing a physical is one thing. Being able to throw the ball and run like he used after surgery on his planting foot and his throwing shoulder is another. Some people don't come back 100% after surgery. And add in a broken back too. 

Panthers just want to see him perform. I don't know if they can do that in a workout but lets find out.

They are not going to find out if he's back 100% until he shows what he can do in live game action. Just another reason I think they already made up their mind that he is gone.

Agree but it just depends on what we can get and if Tepper is looking to clean house and build a team with his name on it.

The Panthers believe QB Cam Newton is likely to pass a physical/be cleared for some football activity in March, according to a source. They're still likely to exercise precaution through spring workouts - that is, if Newton remains with the team. Details:

Cam Newton passed physicals past week 9 in 2018 and week 1-2 2019, what is the difference here?

Which is why no team is going to want to trade for him. And if a team does want to trade for him, it will be for almost nothing.

So you would take almost nothing over Cam for 20 million?

You really think the Panthers would not supply film of Cam throwing and team doctor reports to a potential trade suiter? Keep changing things to fit your narrative. If Cam is not healthy he will be cut, I personally don't think Tepper is a big fan of his.

 

P.S, Team doctors can disclose whatever they want if I'm not mistaken. I believe I heard Cam started going to his own doctors for this reason.

Yes.  He doesnt fit into the long range plans.  Not sure why this is so hard for you to understand.  They want to start fresh.  They are getting contracts off the books to start anew.

I wouldn't be opposed to bringing Cam back for this one year if the team is willing to go all in on winning a super bowl with Cam in 2020. But I don't see them giving the fat 3-4 contracts needed plus pushing back cap from this year to do it. It would make sense TBH, we want to suck 2-3 years to get picks.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
