Practice gates just closed, and Cam Newton didn't show up.

Uh oh.

Roethlisberger, Brees, Foles, Luck, Eli, Darnold, Fitzpatrick....starting quarterbacks are dropping like flies

We need to protect Dak and Rush at all cost. There is a QB curse going around...

What "fix" might that be?

He re-aggravated the same foot he injured in preseason. No drama there. He's rehabbing.

Cam hasn't looked right for a while. I think his shoulder is the main issue for him. The injuries are really piling up for him.

Teams just rushing players out on the field when they need more time to recover. Players will continue to retire early due to injury or the fear of it.

This is what I'm afraid of with Dak.

One pop out of the pocket while running....

All the more reason to be grateful that we have the steady hand of Dak.

We got "Iron Man" at QB so we have the upper hand this year.

It has to be a concern for any QB. Cam has always been the best athlete on the field, even in the Pros most of the time and he could get away with poor mechanics because of it. Now he is not and without the foundation of proper mechanics, its' hard to make adjustments to keep playing at a high level with the injuries he has sustained. This is one of the reasons I have been harping about Dak's mechanics. What we have seen the first 2 weeks of this season is really encouraging. Hopefully it continues during those times when the OL is not playing great, which as been his downfall to this point in his career.

Cam has never been even remotely the same since the Super Bowl beatdown.

He's played like a RB for years, and he's having the career arc of a RB.

Sucks, because prime Cam was one of the best offensive weapons in the league.

Newton’s injuries are killing him. I don’t think he will ever get back to MVP form.

Norv Turner is trying to turn Cam into a pure pocket passer and run only when needed. The sad part about that is Cam needs the threat of the run in order to be successful. But his body has racked up too many hits, making that impossible. I truly believe this might be his last year because his accuracy is as bad as I’ve ever seen.
