Don't understand the mentality of a few posters. So far I have read "it's only a lower back fracture, "he will be fine for the Browns", and "only thing I want to know is if he can play Sunday". The man has had major ankle surgery, fractured ribs and getting his ass beat up for the majority of the season. Now he has a lower back fracture. Some of you on here can't go to work with a toothache, let alone suit up for an NFL game with 290 lb behemoths trying to bury you. It's only a football game. Just damn entertainment for us to sit on our assses to watch from our sofas. Get a damn grip...football isn't life, just a game.

I agree, but I am not sure who you are mad at.

 

I expect the doctors to point Cam in the right direction here, and we all want him to be healthy. 

 

But from what I understand this injury is more about pain tolerance than it is about risk of further or more severe damage.

 

Having said that I will support the decision whether it be put him on IR or play him on Sunday.  I have faith that doctors will steer them in the right direction

I can tell you from experience, we all love a blanket call out of the discussion forum.

 

Great post. Thanks for your insight.

Exactly. Stupid mother fugers are talking about not IRing to get ready for the playoffs. This season isn't worth it. We're going to get our ass handed to us in the first round. We don't need to risk Cam's long term health for a game like that. IR him and let him heal completely so that he can still play for many more years to come.

this is a great thread. people need to put today in perspective. when i first heard the news today i had to get up from work and walk outside for a little. i thought i was going to throw up and i was light headed. i know i don't even know the guy, but when i first saw the tweet and the pictures i instantly thought this could be life threatening. i am just thankful to god everyone was ok. i don't care if we lose the next 3 games by 50, i am thrilled that he 'only" has back fractures. IR him or let him play, i don't care, just do what is in his best interest. i don't need to risk cam newton 4 days after a major accident so we can try to make the playoffs and then lose by 50. the young man dodged a bullet and that is all i care about. i am glad this thread is up.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
