Is Star a Two-Contract Player for Carolina?

Star admitted this week he wouldn’t be 100%, but last week he said he wouldn’t play unless 100%. They MAY play the cautious card again.

 
Sorry, but I'm starting to question his drive. Would Luke, Cam, TD, Greg, or a host of other guys say they're not playing unless they're 100%?

reinjuried foot that is not 100% is foolish to be confused wih drive.

Question his drive?  If I'm a 300+ lb. man that lives in the trenches, and I had a broken foot, then a stress reaction... I'm not stepping onto the field until it's 100%.  That's a career decision.

Oh, is it? 

So if a player has sprained knee ligaments, does that player rerecommended to sit or risk complete tear but it is up to their discretion and if the player sits out the next game considered to have no drive?  Let's say he is 80%, one set back could take him up to two months or worse, or he could sit to finish healing to be back for the season with a minimal risk of aggravating the foot injury again.  I take the one more game as the Panthers man up to ensure full health by break, in which all our important players are healthy in the brutal stretch after our week off.

First of all, that first sentence had to be deciphered, but I get the jist. 

Second of all, I'm not unreasonable. I'm a fan of Lotulelei. But I'd like to see our impact players get on the field when they're healthy enough, not waiting til they're 100%. What player is 100% after training camp? At the very least, humor us. 

Who determines 100%, anyway? I work in an office and I never feel 100%. I don't think I've felt 100% since before my first kid was born.

Then would you not extend that same thought process to what Star is saying? You've never been 100% so you don't mean it literally but Star must now be taken to mean literally 100%? He's talking about his foot being healthy. You're reading too much into it. I'm fine if he doesn't come back until after the bye.

    • I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).
    • I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move 
    • While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
