On Cam Newton's Playing Status...

[Ruff]

Well... Cam would be the best expert on how he's feeling, right? LOL

Not exactly. He's going to have so many painkillers injected into him, he's probably going to feel numb all day. It's when the coaches ask him to make a certain throw and see how his body reacts, that's when they'll see if he's healthy.

Tony Romo played with a back injury. I have no doubt Cam will play.

[Tub of Goo]

He'd be playing if Jimmy was the backup, nice having DA as a viable option.

this has probably been posted elsewhere but fwiw

This would make me more optimistic but he has 0 inside sources to the team.  Bill seems pretty insistent that Cam is very unlikely to play and I trust his judgment much more than ESPNs.

So say Newton sits.

Next week it's the Lions and Suh. First pass play of the game Suh takes cheap shot and Newton further injures ribs...

But but but at least he sat week 1

Bill just spent a few minutes on WFNZ and all but declared a final decision is already made.  Cam will not play.

It is only the Tampa Bay Buc's... good grief. So many people are honestly worried about this team? The staff knows what they are doing. Cam or no Cam our D is going to win us this game.

[ECUPantherFan]

I think we could definitely win the game with Anderson at QB.  Let Cam rest.

[Pazhoosier89]

If DA starts and gets hurt does Cam back him up or do they bring in Webb in that scenario?

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Would love to beat the bucs in their house and their new regime with our back up qb. Lols for days

[Silent Majority]

Lol@the back-up QB lust. Not a DA hater at all, but c'mon! Let cam sit. The way people are talking, its as if 1 week will heal all of his wounds (rolling my fugging eyes). Start DA, that way, when he plays like DA...these idiots will stfu and things can slowly return to normal.

[Jbo]

If Cam can play, he needs to play sore or not.

[SOJA]

damn I'm worried. I wouldn't mind Cam sitting week 1 if it meant him being healthy the rest of the season. 

[SOJA]

Bill just spent a few minutes on WFNZ and all but declared a final decision is already made.  Cam will not play.
