Let’s be real here. Cam is not gonna age well with the abuse he has taken for years in the NFL. It is ultimately his choice and nobody should say poo about anybody choosing to retire or when to do it. They owe us nothing. This is a game. Some of y’all need a fuging reality check.

The fact that people are bringing up their resentment to Luck bypassing the draft to stay in school kinda shows the maturity level of some fans. Cam turned out fine, no need to be bitter lol

i think cam will retire within the next 3-5 years. no way he plays past 35. favre is the only guy who took a shitload of hits that played until his 40s and his brain is marshmellows.

Decent chance this is Cams last season here...seriously.  Or maybe after next year.  Can’t recall but it’s coming

Not buying that. 

Cam seems too oddly wired.  They could only manage to bench him the week he literally broke his back.  And you can’t fake his enthusiasm.  Still looks like a college kid before every game.

Luck and Cams respective style of play also is a factor. How many of the hits cam takes are on designed runs and how many of Luck's injuries are due to him getting killed in the pocket bc they didn't protect him? Of course Cams lines have been bad, but the situations really aren't identical. 

Most of the worst hits Cam has taken have been in the pocket. He repeatedly took slobber knockers behind our porous OLs waiting for our slow receivers to run their deep routes that Shula so loved. Put Luck in that same situation even without all the called runs and I very seriously doubt he would've held up well at all.

It’s possible. No way he plays til he’s 40.

Damn, sho’ is a lot of Luck fan-boys in this thread.

P.S. NOT surprised.

No I think it's called not being an ass because we have no right to. I don't care if it's Luck, Brees, Rodgers, or Brady. If they want to retire they can at anytime. They do not give a fug about what any of us think it's there body.

So you watched Colts games and are certain that line was the same amount of trash as the one here? Bc saying that line is worse does not equal this line is good. You're really trying to win this argument, i can tell, but i suppose that's the be expected

I mean, yeah he'd have gotten his shoulder wrecked, like Cam, and maybe missed more games than Cam. But have you actually looked at Colts games and his injuries? He got rocked, dude. It was clearly worse there. 

Like, i don't think it's out of the question to look at his list of injuries and say "i bet he wishes he were anywhere but there (and Houston, they better be careful with Watson too, omg)" lol

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
