Reality check for a few .....it's only damn football

[Jmac]

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.

Reality check for Vontaze Burfict is that if you try to break someone's ankle, it's a good chance that you end up getting a similar injury.

Vontaze Burfict out for season with leg injury.

You're on a Panther's forum. Most of the people on here only care about football. This isn't the Reader's Digest message boards.

He needs to be on IR. DA can step in and get us through these games and we'll have a good time watching. Just because Tony Romo plays with it doesn't mean everyone else should.

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

Jerry jones is an idiot for playing romo.. He's injured and one good smack can put him down again..

IR cam

Jmac.  They are not being insensitive to the situation, for some this is how they cope.

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.

Life happening and access to the internet shows the worst side of the human species.  I feel sorry for some of these fools families.  I doubt any of them have friends.

[GoobyPls]

If he's healthy he plays, its game in which he's getting millions to play.

 

I'm sure if it was up to Cam he would be playing this week.

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.
