Sorry if this has been covered at length already... but I was shocked to hear that Ryan Kalil was going to miss the game because he (according to the CBS guys) "woke up with a bad neck this morning."

Seriously?!?!  Thomas Davis can play with a damn broken arm but Ryan Kalil can't play because he slept on his neck funny??????

There HAD to be more to it than that.  We sorely missed him yesterday.

Tweaked it in pre game as well

Are we talking about something serious?  Or is it just one of those things where you wake up and you can't really turn your head in one direction without a sharp pain...?  That's what it sounded like to me.  I mean, that's something you can play through, right?

Not going to blame a guy for not wanting to severely injure their neck... kinda an important part of your body. And having to crouch for 3 hours while looking up and then hit someone seems to be one of the worst things you could do, slightly ahead of running head first into a brick wall.

As someone who treats "bad necks" all day, its hard to say what was going on. I can tell you if it was just a "kink" in the neck he would've played. If he was having numbness or tingling into his neck, arms or fingers I would have held him out of playing.

It may be his shoulder is giving him problems again and the coaching staff doesn't want to alert other teams of his weaknesses. I am aware thats against the rules but do you really think that stops teams from doing it every week...

If you have never had any neck or back problems, you probably shouldn't comment too much on this one.

 

You just really can't imagine how terribly painful those issues can be.  I would rather almost anything on my body hurt instead of my back...it incapacitates you in ways you can't believe.

I have woken up with a bad neck before.  That is what the analysts said it was.  If it is something more serious, then he needs to take all the time he needs to get better.

So, going forward, are we not allowed to comment on threads about players blowing our their ACL's or tearing ligaments if we've never sustained those specific injuries?

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
