IR Cam

[Jangler]

just what we need,, shitty showing in the playoffs. I say shut it down and start preparing for 2015.

[WUnderhill]

Lol @ playoffs. I'm surprised we even won a game this year, tbh. This team looks like it should be challenging the 0-16 Lions for complete ineptness.

[L-TownCat]

I regretfully agree he should be IR'd.

[Jeremy Igo]

I get it. But they are competitive within their shitty division. If we were out of the playoff race I would be more willing to go along with this idea.

If we continue to poo the bed the next couple of weeks and fall way behind in the South I could possibly get behind this idea.

But i think it is way to early to go down this road.

Let the next 3 games play out and then revisit this. But for now, if I was a player I couldn't look my teammates in the face if I went to IR without a legit injury and only .5 games from playoffs.

Cam would likely not take kindly to it either

 

If they lose to Atlanta on Sunday.... will you come to the dark side?

[PantherDynasty]

If anybody but Igo had started this thread, that poster would have been absolutely bullied over the ridiculous idea that it entails (and for good reason.) But you sheeple want to "100% agree" with Igo for whatever reason. The fact remains that while the season looks dim for now, we are still just a game out of the division lead. And you don't throw in the towel down just 1 game with 6 games remaining. What if Brees gets hurt and the Saints lose out. Then what? See how ridiculous IRing Cam is right now?

[KJ89]

I agree with Jeremy but I think it's too early. The injuries are scary but I'm with Teeray. Play it out a few more weeks. Beat Atlanta. We can still make the playoffs.

I've never bought this line of thinking. All things are not the same. He was just sacked 9 times, the most in his career. You are saying there is the same chance of getting hurt walking to the locker room than on any of those sacks.

 

It was a hyperbolic point. Cam was just sacked 9 times and came away without an ACL tear or shoulder injury. His rib injury came on a scramble, his ankle injuries stem from surgery and overcompensation for surgery on injuries he had back in college, and he's hit his thumb on helmets his entire career. You advocating putting a player on IR to avoid the risk of injury when injuries are simply the nature of the job. What's also part of the job is being there for your team and learning and growing as a player, and those things can't happen if you're on the sideline.

 

You should know the locker room dynamics enough to know that would not go over well at all no matter how much Cam's teammates may like him. They like him because he's tough and reiterate it constantly as one of the reasons he's voted as captain as looked to as a leader.

7-9 at least.  manning esp would be taken off on a stretcher. Cam barely has time to receive the snap.

Wait a couple more weeks.

I think you sit him but don't put him om IR.  If you do that he can't practice or do anything with the team.  He does need to sit and get a break but he doesn't need to be put on the shelf.

[JawnyBlaze]

Ron is interested in one thing, saving the jobs of himself and the rest of his coaching staff.  Spiritually and physically broken Cam still gives them the best shot at that of their three options.  I don't think Cam will sit over because it's been proven in the past the late season meaningless wins help his case.

[Kevin Greene]

You're assuming our HC is a forward thinker, he's not. It may at some point with 3 games left in the season occur to him to sit Cam and use that scapegoat clause to save his job. But not yet.

[dunnlx]

Totally agree!

How about this. Sit Cam this week. (The Falcons will beat us if Cam plays hurt, so the worse that happens is we win) We have a bye next week. 2 weeks of rest to get better. See what happens against Minnesota.
