Voth's interesting comment about Cam

Voth said something I had noticed but never made this connection:

Paraphrasing:  "Cam's arm issues did not start halfway through the season last year--they started 2 years ago.  He lost his touch on the long ball."  If your shoulder was dinged or injured, that is where it would be the most noticeable.

Having had 2 shoulder surgeries from football injuries myself, I can tell you that most of my teammates and I tried to play  through them.  You think they are going to heal, then they feel OK, then something irritates them again, making them worse, and then they slowly erode.  For me, it was an injury and then a slow decline that you don't really notice until you have to deal with it.

Cam said basically the same thing--(Paraphrasing) "It has been so long since I was 100%, I don't remember what 100% is like." 

Maybe my experiences made this interesting and it is not interesting to most.  Maybe i just realized what you all knew--but to me, this was interesting.

Cam should have had his arm cleaned up two years ago yes, but he didn't. He chose a holistic approach with a PT. That was a bad decision but it's in the past now. With that said changing his motion and actually being protected in the pocket will be very beneficial.

He tried the PT then got the surgery after it didn't work. 

Then the Scar tissue formed and prevented his arm from being 100% again. They just scoped out the scar tissue.

His first surgery was March 2 years ago. He wasn't going to get the main surgery and the cleanup surgery within months of each other before the cleanup was known to be needed.

Cam also shouldn't have been played down the stretch in '16 when he was obviously injured and we were out of contention and then we rode him into the ground again last year. From an outside perspective (which admittedly is imperfect at absolute best) it just seems like this entire shoulder injury situation has been poorly managed. At least Cam seems to understand that from his perspective now. His shoulder will likely never truly be 100% again, but hopefully it remains a manageable situation with smarter management of the situation.

That's exactly how it happens. Usually a clean up comes 3 months after the surgery. It's happens to minorities more than any other. I don't blame him for the approach but he should have done it last year at least because you know the scar tissue hasn't released.

The mistake was trying to play through it before it was fully healed. Even surgery can not fix a problem unless the mind agrees. Check out the placebo effect in surgery study. https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/07/27/surgerys-placebo-effect-11609

I would not say that. It was more the handling and a symptom that caused what we saw. If there is no more damage than the first injury caused he should be good for years. But you need to protect him like Drew Brees or Tom Brady. Anything injured is never going to hold up under poor conditions.

Playing through it while getting clobbered with a poor line didn't help either. Did you see Larsen get blown up last night. Well that was Cam's protection the last two years with the Kalil brothers collecting checks.

Going thru something similar. Tore my right rotator and bicep tendon, had surgery then screwed everything up again. Going back under the knife next month

We didn’t really ride him into the ground last year...

We kind of did. I get that we had an outside shot at the playoffs but Cam was done before the last saints game. When the damn owner has to tell Marty Hurney “he’s done. Everyone can see it. The fans. Teammates. Everyone” then that to me signals incompetence in management. Like he actually had to say that out loud instead of the people in charge knowing. That interaction was really eye opening for me.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Yep - honestly though, I thought his coverage was as good as you could possibly do on a man coverage crossing route with Dak having all day to throw. Dak made a perfect throw and if it wasn't in front of Pickens, it could have easily been picked off. Seemed like we ran more man than I have seen our defense run so far this year. Defense also did a great job of playing their gap/zone responsibilities (even if Dak did pick apart our zone a good chunk of the game) - that screen play on the last drive could easily have gone for a touchdown if Moehrig didn't play his zone and make a great tackle. Biggest complaint about Evero was not blitzing a few more times (especially when Dallas was in the red zone). The few times we did it, Dak didn't look comfortable.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
