newton has a boot on his ankle

[CatMan72]

Probably just a precaution, I'm sure it was stiff/sore this morning when he woke up - but he played out rest of the game yesterday with no apparent problem.

You said it he was hit in the pocket. The rest is irrelevant. I told everyone he is more likely to be hurt getting from his blind side in the pocket then he ever will be in the open field where he can see it coming. Rushing had nothing to do with it.

If this injury is a warning we better run him more often and roll him out on every play and keep him out of the pocket.

I agree with rolling him out of the pocket when necessary. For starters, the OL played well yesterday. Cam just held onto the ball too long at times.

That said, you can't deny that having your QB run a bounty of designed run plays and exposing him to more hits isn't going to put him at more risk for injury. Let him run when he has too, and maybe throw a designed run once a game or so...But stop sending your Franchise QB up the middle like a FB. It's just stupid. Can't risk your most important player that way. Especially not for 2 and 3 yard gains.

We are not taking Luck. End of frecking story. That ship had sailed last year. If we do get #1 pick (god forbid) we will use it to rape any team willing to give up 10 years worth of picks to move up and get him. COUNT ON IT.:cheers2:

I agree w/ 55.

Cam as a runner past the line of scrimmage is less likely to get hurt vs. when he is in the pocket as a passer.

out of the 2 different type threatsof injury.....he has a better idea of where the blow is coming from when he runs.

could be a high ankle sprain easily

This.

He should be able to play Sunday. He didn't roll it badly enough to where he couldn't play, so most of the swelling & pain should have died down in 6 days.

[bauss]

I don't know...playing on the ankle right after rolling isn't that hard. The next few days is a little different.

Indeed. I've done the same thing. The pain is just unbearable at night while once getting into motion seems to slack off.

I think Cam Newton would be in more pain watching Clausen fill in for him.

You think Newton would be in pain from watching Jimmy?

After this preseason, I came to the conclusion that I can not watch Jimmy Clausen throw another football in a Panther's jersey ever again. If it came down to Jimmy starting over Newton or Anderson, I'd fuging turn the TV off and do something productive. Like washing all my laundry with a toothbrush, or mowing the lawn with scissors.

He'll be fine, Raji landed on it but Cam didn't miss a snap. It's all good.

If Raji landed on my ankle i'd be on IR.

[rodeo]

I don't think Raji landed on it. Cam spun out to avoid Raji and went down untouched because he rolled the ankle, then Raji came over and touched him down.

Cam played the entire 2nd half of the BCSNCG w/a bruised kidney and who knows what else after a helmet to his lower back from Casey Matthews..he's gonna be a-ok. :cheers2:
