The latest Cam Newton injury shines a bright light on a trio of backup options who may not currently be ready for prime time. Behind Newton on the Carolina depth chart are Kyle Allen Julius Peppers Jersey , rookie Will Grier, and Taylor Heinicke.So if Newton ends up missing time with a foot/ankle injury, what should the Panthers do?Safety Eric Reid undoubtedly will clamor for former teammate Colin Kaepernick, as Reid should. Given the similarity in skill sets between Kaerpernick and Newton DJ Moore Color Rush Jersey , it makes sense. Given that Panthers owner David Tepper signed Reid a year ago, Tepper won’t shy away from the potential non-football fallout. Besides, Kaepernick is clearly a better option than the other quarterbacks on the roster; if coach Ron Rivera wants to win games, he should want Kaepernick.If not Kaepernick James Color Rush Bradberry Jersey , how about Teddy Bridgewater? The Saints backup possibly is sliding behind Taysom Hill, and Bridgewater has a history with Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who served in that same role during Bridgewater’s first two seasons in Minnesota.Sure, it would require a pair of rivals to do business. But quarterbacks have been traded in the same division before (Donovan McNabb to Washington Ian Thomas Jersey , Drew Bledsoe to Buffalo), and the Saints could be willing to accommodate Bridgewater if they have come to the conclusion that he’s not a viable long-term option to succeed Drew Brees — and if they can get real value for a guy who could end up at No. 3 in New Orleans.Whatever the Panthers do, they likely need to do something if Newton’s injury ends up being something that keeps him out of the regular-season opener and possibly beyond. And they need to do it quickly, so that the new guy Curtis Samuel Color Rush Jersey , whoever it is, can get up to speed with Aaron Donald coming to town to start the season in only 16 days. The suspicions of Eric Reid are about to be tested.The NFL and NFL Players Association jointly have hired Dr. John Lombardo to administer the PED testing program. They have now jointly asked Dr. Lombardo to issue a report regarding the allegation the supposedly random testing of the Panthers safety isn’t.According to Mark Maske of the, the league and union are awaiting a report from Dr. Lombardo regarding the questions raised by Reid, who has suggested that he has been targeted for extra testing in retaliation for his pending collusion grievance.Dr. Lombardo has administered the program for 28 years.“Any time the integrity of the program is questioned Daeshon Hall Jersey , we want to make sure it’s airtight,” an unnamed source told Maske.“We have no control over it and no input into who’s tested,” another unnamed source, familiar with the league’s viewpoint Trai Turner Color Rush Jersey , told Maske. “It is completely random. There has been no issue of targeting here. We did ask Dr. Lombardo to produce a report.”It was believed that the truth would come out only if Reid requested details regarding his testing to be disclosed, or if he filed an official grievance. It’s unclear what the report will show. A grievance would (or at least should) entail retaining an outside expert to confirm that the relevant digital footprints show that the algorithm that randomly selected 10 players per team per week for testing was not corrupted.Anything less than an independent validation of the randomness of the testing would not completely remove the cloud of suspicion that Reid has created, and that others like Panthers coach Ron Rivera have bolstered. |
