Oh the fun, I had a bad MTB crash 4 years ago. forgot to press on the second mogul that was in a turn and flew... Off the trail. And crashed hard, left hand hit first, I cut my left hand with a deep gash and broke my wrist, shoulder hit second and my head hit last, split the helmet and was concussed.

Was so amped up on adrenaline so much that I jumped back on the bike right away(with a very bent front wheel) and road for another 1/4 mile before is stopped, realized that I was going the wrong way, stopped and walked off the trail.

Didn't realize the wrist was broke for 2 weeks, it wasn't bad but still.

I had that adrenaline feeling too.  I still had about 700 ft to drop and a half mile to go but somehow made it.  I was with 2 friends, one had a med-kit so was able to avoid anything more crazy.

Thank god I had my bad MTB crash when I was a teenager and made of a combination of rubber and steel. If I had the same crash today, I feel like I'd be in a back brace and have my jaw wired shut.

 

Likewise I went over the handlebars, broke my wrist while breaking my fall, and went chin-first into a rock. At the time I just remember thinking, "God after all that fuggin time wearing braces, I hope I didn't lose any teeth!" I thought my blood geyser of a chin was my worst injury, and I was so hopped up on adrenaline that I finished the ride without realizing my wrist was broken. It wasn't till I got home and realized, "Gee, was my hand always catty-corner to my arm like that?" that I decided it was time to go get mom.

 

My jaw still clicks when I talk.

 

Fug mountain biking.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
