Who forced these football players to sign up for this horrible career?? 

 

WE NEED ANSWERS 

I would assume shitty socio-economics, that make it so that a certain population of Americans flock to it as a way out of a horrible situation, all while nothing is actually done to solve the issue they've pulled themselves from?

Jeez why so serious.

It was just a jab at the notion that the players exist in a “no fun league.” I thought the origin of that name was based on refereeing that makes the game hard to enjoy. I think plenty of players are clearly having the time of their lives despite this. 

I would argue that Cam is actually not acting like himself lately. He used to be highly energetic. He seems off and slow. I guess being injured for the last 10 games can do that to a fella.

And I think you are right, on your second point.

It is hard to be energetic when you are injured.

So how about, afford someone the same consideration Andrew Luck got for missing a whole year of football to recover.

Allen needs to keep the ship afloat while Cam heals.. the next game with Houston will show if he can play against a strong defense!! One game at a time!!

You know what's funny is that people here are too young to remember Warren Moon, Steve Young, Michael Vick....etc. You fuging retards don't understand that getting hit a poo ton of times affects your performance.  It's not lack of want to, but ability after getting hit a fugton of times.  fuging wake up.

Be nice to be fight about who should be the QB... at this point we have a guy that we hope will be great and a guy that we hope can get back to being great... this team could be in a great or terrible situation but we won’t know until after the season.... I am GO CAROLINA, whoever our QB is.

That is really good to see. Except for some of that stuff he wears lol, you really couldn't ask for more off the field.

Great in the community, never in any trouble. Just a great Panther.

He has to put his body in harms way and obviously those hits are painful.  I don’t know if it’s a fair trade off actually.

It’s a choice.

None of those players declined based on running the football but of natural age.. I don't get the point your making. Did they get injured? Yes. But nothing to the magnitude we possibly seeing with cam. Also everyone act like what we are seeing is the cumulative effect of these hits, when it's more likely that one freak hit that just screwed his shoulder up.

I don't think his body just turned into a prune over the summer or so.

Lazy and ignorant take

Great way to support his team and I sure hope he can heal fully. It sure would be something to see him back on the field just completely being the Cam of old. I'm not sure there's ever been a more dynamic player of the game and it'd be a shame not to see him back out there just amazing people.

That guy's been missing for a while and if a few weeks rest is what it needs, it will be worth the investment.

I get what your saying.  I love Cam and he has made us relevant for so many years. 

You are correct about the other players mentioned above. I don’t think they declined due to rushing.  Steve Young had 722 rushes over a 15 year career.  But Cam has rushed 935 times in just 9 years.

Jonathon Stewart rushed a total of 1705 times in his career. Cam has rushed 935 times, sacked over 300 times, and been hit in the pocket countless times behind crappy OL’s.  But when Stewart was 30 everyone on here said he had nothing left in the tank.  Cam has been hit just as many times as Stewart was. Yes I understand they are different positions.

Now to my point:   My question/concern is not what Cam has done in the past, but what is he capable of doing going forward.  If you take away Cam’s running ability can he be an accurate pocket passer?   He has never been that accurate of a passer  IMO.  So after 3 consecutive years of injuries on a guy that has taken on hell of a beating in his career do you turn around and pay him $40 mil guaranteed going forward?  His threat is truly as a dual threat QB.   What is he actually worth as a one threat QB?   That is the question I think is the most difficult to answer. And one that Tepper is going to be judged by for years to come.

His message looks like something from snowflake or just someone with the emotional/cognitive maturity of a grade schooler....

..really a manchild..........not a leader of men..........

.....sorry but that's the way many of these catered athletes come across to me today.....

There is a time to have fun and there is a time to grow up and act professional.......Cam seems to act like he's trying to balance the two at times.....

Flame away kids.......
