Other than Cam, who have we mishandled? 

I'd say Cam is example enough, though there's probably an argument to be made for Olsen in previous years.

With McCaffrey, it's not so much that he's been injured before as it is people are worried about him being overused.

Dude, you can’t say the staff has mishandled player*S* and then say one single player suffices and supports your argument lol.  

Explain how the staff mishandled Olsen?  He’s the one who didn’t want the surgery.  So he sat out however long until he got cleared.  How’s that on the staff?  The team can’t force surgery on someone.

That one player was kind of important. He was, at the time in fact, the most important player on our roster.

Who would you classify as the most important player on our roster right now?

Don't try to switch it.

You argument was the coaching staff has mishandled injured players in the past.  Players as in plural.

I asked you who this would apply to outside of Newton, and you said MAYBE Olsen's injury (which you followed up by not explaining how this would fall on the staff, who gave him ample time to recover). 

So you can't continue to say the staff has mishandled injured players, when only one player is applicable (Newton).

If you want to be skeptical of the staff, go ahead.  But you are making exaggerated statements.  All it does is make the uninformed believe things that aren't true.  If you can't name the multiple injured players we have mishandled, then your argument is simply, "I don't trust the staff because of Newton's injury", not "I don't trust the staff because they have mishandled injured players."  Because the latter simply isn't true.

I don't really believe this is anyting to worry about.

Concerns about how our staff has handled injured players though? Those are probably valid.

Why? Whose injury do you think wasn’t handle well other than Cam (who admitted himself that he was hiding injuries)?

If you say so :eyeroll:

I don't get where your frustration is coming from.

Where am I wrong?  Did you not say players?  Did I not ask you to name more than one player and were you then not able to do so?

It's just annoying to see you bring up irrelevant, negative (and often, false) things in damn near every thread on this forum.  There was really no reason to try and draw a parallel between CMC's "back" injury and Newton's past injuries.

Not so much frustration as 1) thinking that supposed "misleading the uninformed" is a thing is a little silly and 2) I'm at lunch, and wasn't that terribly interested in this topic to begin with. I just posted the update because I saw it.

Maybe I'll come back and take a deeper look at it later but right now I have better things to do (i.e. food and a nap).

Didn't you know?  Life Hack: start your post with "some people say" or "there has been speculation", and you can follow it up with any substantiated claim you want in order to perpetuate any narrative!!  That's some pretty basic Misinformation 101 stuff right there...come on.  I encourage you to follow Mr. TMZ more closely and you'll catch on quickly.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
