Newton to take part in player-organized workouts

[Fiz]

gantt made a really good point that these option workouts, especially for a team in flux like the Panthers, aren't necessarily a good thing.

Wow. So much Cam jock sniffing in this thread/forum/fanbase. It's getting a bit disgusting.

:cam:

Nothing to see here...Move along! Move along!

Beat me to it...lol. I posted mine and yours showed up right before mine.

it was basically doubting whether a bunch of guys getting together with no medical supervision or coaching instruction with a new offense was productive.

What's the depth chart? What about training? What about drills? What if someone gets hurt?

Yeah building camaraderie is cool but you can do that by playing paintball or something.

Thanks for sharing. Man, that does make sense. At least to me it does.

i mean newton's not going to learn much throwing wide open passes to david gettis with a defense playing a base 4-3 cover 2

It's what they need to do, lets hope there are no injuries to speak of and Cam gets a chance to get some work in with the offense. It's a damn shame they have to do this instead of OTAs.

Football wise these workouts gain us nothing. Maybe they can see some video on Chargers O/D and Phillys D but thats all.

But all of them will work out anyway so why not do it together build up some chemestry and more important get last season out of the way and focus on the new one (if any)

As for Newton... I doubt he is going to do anything big. But good to see him there.

Cam going to these workouts is the same as Smitty playing flag football. He shouldn't be there.

yeah they don't need to have player run workouts and they're a dumb thing for a team like this to do for the above listed reasons.

unless you have a list of reasons they actually need to that don't revolve around you saying so.

[The Saltman]

I for one think someone with no contract should not be going to these things.

But in Cam Newtons case its a little bit of a stickier situation since basically he is the franchise guy and needs to at least spend some time with his teammates in a football setting.

[Kuech Da Sneak]

Let's be honest, Cam probably won't be doing anything at the workouts that he wouldn't have been doing at IMG.

He'll probably show restraint too, like he did at the Rookie FF game, where he didn't play.
