Looks like it happened vs new england

And they still trotted him out there.

This reminds me of Rivera sending Cam out knowing he couldn’t throw 10 yards.

Will be interested to see how Rhule explains sending Sam on the field knowing he was injured. No way they watched him practice and didn’t see something was wrong.

So he fractured his spatula?? We need a Qb not a chef.

Taking this news at face value, the first thing that pops up for me searching 'fractured scapula':

Again taking this at face value, that could explain a few things.

The thing is, players are always going to push themselves to play thru pain and do whatever they can to be on the field. Responsible coaches need to be able to sit players for their own good. Rivera's failure to do so fuged Cam... I wouldn't say this is why Darnold was bad (heh, he was bad plenty before this), but it sure didn't help a young QB struggling to prove he belongs

PJ must really suck for them to not put him out there as a replacement

You suck Rhule

[Qu1million]

Wow, probably a injury from ATL game.  He does slide on his throwing shoulder sometimes when he runs...I hate that, Cam did that alot too

Well this explains why he played so poorly see it's not all that bad you guys 

It may explain why he didn’t do a better job pushing the ball downfield against the Pats. It may have also affected his accuracy on the pick 6 when he missed an open Ian Thomas.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t excuse he end-zone pick. That was just a bad decision. As soon as that ball left his hand I knew it was going to be an incompletion or an INT.

Props for suiting up. You guys know that had to hurt.

Very coincidental that he had a shoulder injury pre-game, then got another shoulder injury in the game

[Basbear]

So Rhule protected him ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL pre-season and for most of the 7 games. Limited him in ALL the practices leading up to Pats.....you know the one team that Sam seen ghosts......... PJ WALKER gets alll the 1st team snaps Wednesday- Saturday....

Rhule starts Sam, what a awful coaching move. Maybe the worst Ive seen in panthers history given his shoulder is broken.

Rhule you done fuged up.

[Jackie Lee]

Maybe that's why he couldn't get the ball over the D-linemen, probably couldn't hold his arm above his head and they still played him. Rhule is an idiot

I said at the beginning of the gameday thread he had no business playing Sunday. If there was ever a season i have hated being right about so many things its this one.
