Cam Newton Tests Positive; Out for KC game

[amfootball]

Seeing as there is still hope for asymptomatic I think there is no need to worry yet.

Why do you say that? I have not seen one report on his condition.

For all the talk about the game, does anyone know how Cam is doing? Is he alright? This thing can be horrible for some people. Just because he is a supreme athlete does not mean he will be fine.

Good question. I'd think that he's doing at least okay being that he's an athlete in top shape still in the prime years of his life, and he has more resources given his financial status. Of course those things don't guarantee anything, but they make it more likely he'll come out just fine.

Looking at the positive side of things, were Brady still our QB it's likely that his bromance with Edelperson would have The Squirrel infected too!

There have been cases of re-infection. One of them happened here in the U.S..

REPORT: Nevada man re-infected by COVID-19 after fully recovering

It looks like 2 cases in Hong Kong, and one non peer reviewed case in Nevada, so you have a 2 or 3 out of 34900000 chance of getting it again. Which equals .000006% chance of reinfection if the case is Nevada actually happened. Probably a lot of other things to worry about that are more likely to happen.

Exactly no reports that he's showing any signs of symptoms. It's possible it's just no reports but this is a case of no news is good news.

I agree no news is good news but the Patriots would be the last team to disclose if he was not feeling well.

I get BB is secretive but I think this a different deal. I assume if he becomes symptomatic we will probably hear.

I doubt it. Bill did not even disclose it was Cam in the Pats announcement.

Imagine thinking you have to be selfish in order to catch covid.

Dudes one of the worst new members here. Buffalo fan with really nothing except negativity and little jabs to add to the forum. A recipe for banishment.

Was going to be the toughest game even with Cam but the fact that they have to play Hoyer/Stidham is a joke. I still feel that even if the season is completed, situations like these across the league will put an * on it

And all his kids.

The point is that you are spreading misinformation and we really have no idea how many people have been reinfected because people without symptoms might not be tested but spread the virus.

If the NFL is going to force the Patriots to play on Monday without Newton, instead of postponing until later in the season, then the Chiefs should be forced to sit out Mahones. it's only fair. There is no way in hell the Pats will keep up with the Chiefs scoring with Hoyer at the helm. This is gonna be one ugly loss.

Can’t imagine this season lasts much longer.

This is a little bit dramatic

 

[Froob]

Probably should postpone this game. It’s possible Patriots players and personnel have it but, won’t test positive yet.

Interesting how the Titans game gets rescheduled a month later and the Pats MUST play the next day. What’s up with that? Oh wait . . .

A few things to clarify for some posts:

1. Seems the Pats players want to play
2. Most had this as a loss prior to the season and a loss due to having "Hoyer hands" doesn't really change much about our expectations going into this season
3. It was probably a run heavy plan regardless, so having Hoyer in versus Cam really only changes the RPO possibilities; likely still running for 200+ yards on the Chefs
4. If the Pats somehow win, it will be glorious
5. Adjust expectations and if we lose, expecations are met; if we win, well good golly lordy almighty, I'll be watching hot takes all week from all the haters having breakdowns

If they win, it will be epic.
