Let Cam Sit This Week

No reason to think we can't run the ball. Amini and Turner are both upgrades and Stewart is a HUGE upgrade over DeAngelo.

G play hopefully turns into one....can't claim it is yet.

And Stewart is a better runner in the conditions here.....but if Williams is getting lead reps then it doesn't matter.

I think there are some people with other reasons behind this "sit cam" bullshit. If he is medically cleared, nobody is going to be able to keep Cam Newton from playing. He is a competitor. Period. All fans should know this by now, and if you don't, well, why are you even here?

Football knowledge is not a requisite for being a fan. You've been around here long enough to know that knee jerk reactions out-weigh knowledge.

 

 

So, worst case scenario is, Cam plays and breaks his ribs even more by taking a shot. He misses time.

How hard would the same people gnashing their teeth at the idea of sitting him for a week cry out and ask why Rivera played him?

Yeah, because "Worst case scenarios" are how things really work. Best case, Cam plays in some pain and does his thing. Ribs hurt, but there is no given that they will get worse.

This place leads the league in fret and worry. QBs play with rib injuries all the damm time.

Again, I never said he shouldn't play. Read my post. I pointed out the absolute worst case scenario. I expect him to play. But, if he does, and gets hurt more, I want to point out that the same people calling everyone on this board "stupid" or being a douche like Red, would immediately turn on Rivera and scream "why did he play!!?!??!?"

we are on the same page, and the fact he basically pulled himself out of practice yesterday during stretching should put everyone else on that page as well.  but alas, everyone wants instant gratification.  i said that because we have come to know Cam, and he will play.

That's a lil too confident lol. Its not even 99% on any given sunday with your starter

Did Cam not practice today?

according to media there for the first 20 minutes of pracyice (all their allowed) cam was there in pads wearing a newer more streamined flac jacket, but didn't throw any passes, though voth said he heard cam told to get loose as media was leaving so there's that. apparently all he had done was handed off to RBs. from people there yesterday and today cam did seem pretty loose and pain free, dancing around and waving his arms freely. sounds good for him to start, even with the secrecy about him throwing. it's still in wait-and-see mode as far as most are concerned. DA is apparently preparing as if he'll be playing, but then he does that all the time anyway.

I don't expect for us to be a top rushing team (not including Cam) but I'm optimistic that we have the ability to be.

i wonder at what week we will finally start Stewart instead of D.  i think we will be a better running team then, save D for the second half to be more of a homerun thread.

I would sure as hell hope we start with Stew week 1 since he's clearly the better back at this stage in their careers. I love DeAngelo, but he can't even hold Stew's jockstrap at this point. I expect them to split with Tolbert being thrown into the mix... Worst way to approach it IMO. Let one guy get his rhythm and groove and give him 30 carries. And that guy should be Stew.

Cam didnt throw at all today during practice. In my book hes going to be a no go. Even if he plays it will be Cam that hasnt practiced full with a brand new WR corps, a bad ankle and cracked rib. DA and KB has looked equally as good together in pre season as Cam and KB. If you have a elite D like us you can win with bad QBs, The Golden Calf of Bristol with the Broncos and Alex Smith comes to mind.

Why people would want cam to start with no practice and as banged up as he is is beyond me

Let's just sit Cam all year. We don't want him to get hurt.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
