The way Cam Newton gets his job back is if Kyle Allen loses a couple of games in a row and plays badly in them.
As long as he is winning, Rivera won’t guarantee Cam’s his starting spot back.
Coach Ron Rivera consistently has insisted there is no timetable for Newton’s return, even when asked about the possibility of the 2015 NFL MVP coming back after the bye.
I’m not going to worry about it,” Rivera said. “I’m not going to speculate on anything until I have to address that. So until then, we’re going to stay in the now, stay in the focus of what we’re doing right now.
“As far as I’m concerned, we’re not going to deal with the question until it is time. And when the time comes, I will address it. As far as I’m concerned, [Cam’s] in the rehab program and he’s doing the program and our quarterback right now playing for us is Kyle. So we’re not going to address it.”
