Was general manager Marty Hurney right to defend the medical staff over their handling of former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton?

The bitterness surrounding Cam Newton’s release by the Carolina Panthers has stepped up a notch this week. The franchise parted ways with the quarterback after a long association with the organization two months ago and he is yet to find a new team.

This decision was met with derision by certain sections of the fanbase. It has also seen ex-Carolina Panthers players such as Greg Olsen and Steve Smith question the timing that undoubtedly compromised Newton’s ability to secure a starting job immediately elsewhere.
