Man I wish I could have had that surgery.  I played a lot of basketball growing up and sprained my ankles, especially my left ankle, more times than I can count.  The more I did it, the easier it happened. To this day, my left ankle has limited movement and the simple act of jogging irritates it.  Good for him for knocking it out early.

Meh, Cam did just fine without OTA his first season as a rookie.(400yard first game anyone?) And it's not like he will be totally off the field. He will probably be there doing light workouts by the time OTA's are here. 

Hope you are right, but nobody else had OTAs that year either.

There is a good chance he will have a rookie who is expected to step in and perform...

Superman really needs OTAs to develop some Chemistry with young WRs. This news is not just about Cam.

It isn't Cam Newton's fault that we've managed to draft ourselves exactly 1 starter on offense since he's joined the team, and purged all of our wide receivers who had a catch last season. How about instead of worrying about him, you focus on actually, you know, improving the offense around him.

Medical advancements always trip me out.

a lot of innocent animals were tortured and then died to make it possible for this

Ehhh some of this stuff they discover on humans.  Usually in scenarios where a doctor looks at their brokenness and is like "yea uhhh... we don't know how to fix that yet... you won't be able to play again.  I could however rip you open and just wing it."

 

Athlete can choose between a 0% chance of recovery and <1% chance of recovery.  When your entire method of earning a living depends on that extremely low chance, you might be crazy enough to try it.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
