No certainty about Cam's timeframe... Could miss all of offseason including preseason or could be available for start of camp. Leans towards being ready for start of camp, but no certainty. The surgery was inevitable, had to happen sooner or later. Talks about how it will be good to see how he matures further through this injury.

 

Joe Webb brought in to "be Cam Newton" while he's out. See how he fits with the group on offense.

 

Hard for him to part with Smitty, was a big part of his first 3 seasons, references the Miami game 4th down conversion. Just part of business, age, production, salary cap issues, needing to get younger guys on the field. 

 

Patience, have not finished off season plan, still have FA and draft, and young guys to develop. Lots of guys that "we really like." WR is a touchy spot, but remember we rushed for 100 yards or more in 15 of our 16 games last season. Don't be concerned about talks of a regression from last year, he is confident that the team will improve. Lots of time left in the offseason.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
