I don't know if there are still people hoping for us to make the playoffs. Doubt anyone at all is expecting it.

(FYI if you are, you'll need to cheer real hard for the lowly Lions to beat the resurgent Vikings this weekend; Vikes win and we're officially out)

But let's say the craziness happens...

Cam Newton is not being placed on IR, which would mean he'd be available.

Would you send Newton out on the field for a playoff game?

No

1. If we are in the playoffs, that means Heinkie has won us 2 straight.

2. This seasons and a 6 seed playoff spot isnt worth throwing Cam out at Chicago only for Mack to nail Cams coffin.  

 

Sit him, let him heal

Side questions going back to the OP:

Who on here believes we can still make the playoffs?

Regardless of outcome, who wants to see us make the playoffs?

I don't believe we can still make the playoffs... but I do absolutely want to make the playoffs.  I think the draft seed difference is going to end up being negligible.

If we win the next two because of Heinicke to any degree I’d keep riding him. If he’s truly terrible but we win despite him because of McC or defense, then I’d consider Cam. Cam’s not gonna heal enough in 2 weeks to be better than a QB with a healthy arm but his playoff experience comes into play if we actually want to try to win it all if we somehow got in. But if we get in and think no chance we win it all then regardless of how Heinicke looks you keep Cam on the sideline.

I still want to see us make the playoffs. I’m not one to wish we lose for the sake of a draft pick. I’m behind Taylor and hopes he shows out. In two weeks, this could be the end of a lot of my favs career and I want to see them as long as possible plus we would have to wait another 9 months to see us in action again. I don’t want to wish time away

No, no, no.

This isn't a Foles type situation. One and done in the playoffs means NOTHING for this team except a lower draft pick.

I'd find more happiness getting top 10 picks and beating teams with the players we get from that for years to come than winning two more games this year. 

All this said, I don't think there is any chance.

      I'm more curious if he can recover from his injury and still be a starting caliber olineman

      Does this mean only topics from within the last year or any topics with posts from the last year? i.e. if there are any old threads we feel should be kept around for whatever reasons, would a bump of that thread before the update ensure it's kept around in full or do the posts from more than a year old still disappear?

      I'm more intrigued at him becoming our future LG. There were some people who thought he was better suited to be a guard in the NFL to begin with.  Then if Freeling ends up being a legit LT, moving Ickey to LG could give us an incredibly strong left side of our OL for years to come. Ickey has only played on the Left side his whole career, both in college and the NFL, so I just wonder if keeping him on the left side, even if shifting inside, would be better than putting him outside on the right side. Just hoping him growing up a Panthers fan will make him want to stay here and move positions than enter FA so he can stay at LT somewhere else, particularly since LT is the big money position on the OL, so he likely can get paid more by someone else to play LT than play LG or RT here for us.
