Yes---he was unusually invisible for the past several weeks--not cheering on the team, not on the sideline (to the best of my knowledge).  There seems to be something more to this than meets the eye. 

He was on the sideline for the SF game.

Doctors advised against him traveling with the team to away games and standing/jumping on the sidelines for hours.

There isn't anything more to it than that. Let's hold up on crying wolf.

IMO, and the franchise knows this, Cam is still valuable beyond measure when healthy, so you gave to give him a chance to have the job back.  I've seen several interviews with Tepper, and I believe one was even on AON, where he talked about smart calculated risks...  he was explaining how that's how he made his money and you can apply the same principles in life.  If there was ever a time for him to put that principle into action, it's now...  I'm just hoping his calculated risk here will be to give Cam his job back next season when he's healthy rather than giving Kyle the job and letting Cam walk.

Don't think Tepper doesn't notice the empty stands and sees the correlation with Cam's absence.  When Jourdan tweeted about the attendance Sunday, I tweeted back it was because of Cam...  he's electric and bigger-than-life.  People knew when you went to the stadium and he's playing, you're gonna see something you probably never saw before.  Now, not so much.  CMC is amazing, but he's not Cam - one big difference obviously being he's a RB versus Cam having the ball as the QB every snap.  JMO...  but, I hope Tepper does the right thing.

I hate to hear this but he needs to take his time and recover. That foot injury is a rough one. I honestly don’t think he is done in Carolina. He will be back for one more year to see what happens. In the meantime, let’s all get behind Kyle and hope he carry us to the playoffs. Keep pounding

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
