Before we clamor for Cam's return against the Titans..

Let's actually make sure he is 100% unequivocally healthy. Thrusting Cam back in from injury too soon got us in this position in the first place. The Titans are a team on par with the teams we've been beating with Allen the previous 4 weeks so we shouldn't be making short-sighted decisions from a point of desperation. I'd love to have Cam back for a game before Green Bay to work out some rust, but if he breaks off for a run against the Titans and starts limping, you're pretty much resigned to putting him on IR at that point and might as well kiss goodbye any chance at making noise this year. It makes me wary that he just recently started working the sidelines in practice. Do you go from that point to starting QB in a week? I don't know but I'd hope if you do, you are damn sure he's good to go. Because this isn't about 1 week; this is for the season.

The only people that are clamoring for Cam to rush back right now is Twitter. People inside the locker room, I’m fairly certain they have Kyle’s back. If they don’t, there’s a bigger problem than Kyle Allen at hand.

And you’re right, from a football perspective, there’s no reason to rush any of this. This is a brutal NFC this year. The likelihood of making the playoffs is still relatively low, even with Newton coming back right now. He hasn’t practiced in a while, and he needs some time to get back into a rhythm. Plus, that foot needs to be healthy enough to instill confidence in both the passing and running piece of his game. I would imagine by now the shoulder is pristine, and it looked awesome in camp.

If you felt like the last four weeks were brutal in terms of the noise, meaning the media and Twitter, it’s only gonna get worse. Today didn’t solve anything.

I had folks on Twitter telling me, well at least now we got that Kyle v Cam thing resolved.

That’s right shit4brains: And you’re going home with a 51-13 loss. But go ahead and, keep telling yourself that the process for Newton’s return has been accelerated in your own mind.

The reality is nothing changed his timetable Sunday. Only a full recovery makes his return feasible. The staff would be highly irresponsible to bring him back any sooner. The quarterback would also be irresponsible to interject himself into that mix.
