Cam Newton will play week 1. No doubt in my mind.

i really dont think our O-line is that bad. i mean LT, which is huge yeah. but the front 3 should be very strong.

Damn, surprised he went back into the game too even after he (presumably) suffered the injury.

groan. He's gotta throw the ball away. Most of the sacks were coverage sacks, not the o line getting blown up. I really do hope he makes it back. Hopefully 2 weeks is enough. Does anyone know if this will be a lingering issue?

Well the play cam got hurt wasn't the line fault Cam ran and slid wrong which caused it. The oline in pass protection has not been our offensive problem more so the receivers, Cam overthrows, and run blocking

I kind of see this as a freak injury. For the past three seasons, we have seen Cam just fall to the ground right before an opponent is getting ready to tackle him and he's gotten up fine. No Damage done. We haven't seen him get his head blown off by doing this or any huge unnecessary hits. It seems like this occurred when his core hit the ground causing the fractured rib.

It may just be me, but I would rather Cam do whatever he feels most comfortable with than attempt to slide awkwardly like RGIII did a couple weeks ago on MNF causing him to limp afterwards. If he feels that is the best way of protecting himself, then by all means do it. I would rather have a quarterback have a hairline fracture in his ribs than do something to his knees.
