I like Cole’s answers. It’s a business, people get cut and it’s not pretty. You’re a grown ass man. You signed a contract (like all the other QBs he mentioned) that allowed your company to do this, gave them the right. They don’t owe you anything, why try to come back around about it? They decided to go a new direction. Where’s all this being owed something when these players go chase the money taking fat contracts and not standing by the team that drafted them? Neither is owed a happy ending.

Cam wasn’t done wrong, the checks he gets from the Panther’s will clear and that’s all that matter, it’s a business and when you start having employees believed they’re owed something at the cost of the business as a whole its pathetic, selfish and immature.

This is the list of players who commented in the article:

Mike Tolbert, Roman Harper, Jordan Gross, Mushin Muhammad, Colin Cole, Frank Garcia, Wesley Walls.

How many made 1st Team All-Pro the same number of times as Cam?

And who made it more times?

Tolbert is trolling here. Cam controlled the time line of his surgeries. It’s disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

 

..and, you know this how?  I’ll take Tolbert’s view. He was in the locker room. He was in the games. He knows the coaches, trainers and Newton.

what do you have to contradict it?

He hasn't been in the locker room for a few years. Definately not while Cam's injuries were going on.

Tolbert's comments are interesting. Up until that, I think it was believed that Cam was the one delaying surgeries. If it was the team, then that's pretty messed up.

Either way, I don't fault anyone for delaying surgery. People make it out to be no big deal, but there is a significant chance that you don't heal properly from any surgery, and Doctors often prefer you exhaust all rehabilitation options before going under the knife.

He was in the locker room in 2016, when cams shoulder injury occurred. If my math is correct the last 2-3 years he was on the roster, in which he commented on it being mismanaged. 

And he was gone way before TC 2017. The Panthers went 11-5, Tolbert is full of crop.

Cam doesn't have to "beg" anyone to have surgery. If a medical professional tells him its necessary, there isn't crap anyone can do about it, the NFLPA would have a field day with that. 

Can people please get past this? Cam is announced for trade, and Ron Rivera sends a 5th rounder for Kyle allen... does that not tell you EVERYTHING you need to know? If cam was anywhere near where he needs to be, Ron would've jumped.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
