McCaffrey back injury is legit, but minor

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).

 

You’re just copping out.  It would literally take no effort at all to list a player outside of Newton who’s injury we have mishandled, if we’re as bad at it as you claim.  It’s not like I asked for an essay.  Just a name, and the best you could come up with is Olsen, who’s injury definitely wasn’t our fault

Michael Oher. He was visibly off in his last game with us after he suffered a concussion and still practiced after that. Permanent damage. 

Last year and early this year with Cam was embarrassing and if you wish to down play how that wasn't handled like garbage, twice, that's on you.

Led my Mr. Integrity, there is no scumbagry that this coaching staff won't stoop to, just to remain mediocre!!

Darrel Williams last year. Rushed back and wasn't ready, played poorly and then finally IRed after a re-injury. Now looks like garbage.

Again, The Athletic is trash. Certainly not worth paying for. They released a total hit piece, smear against UNC this week. They must need clicks.

My favorite part of Scot losing an argument is when he feigns indifference, especially while employing emojis.

probably a slipped disc that will just be a nagging injury for the rest of his career

heck

HECK

Dear god please anything but that. Let it be a muscle or bruise.

Nobody has ever used to have a bad back. Once you start down that road it’s over.

Literally this. I’m assuming in his case it’s more of lower back/behind region bruise he did fall about 6 feet flat on his behind.

I’m mean I’m sore for 2-3 days if I sit on the toilet too long

Time to use this amazing RB depth more often...not sarcastic either.  I have confidence in Bonnafon and Scarlett

This is the real answer.

My lunch was more important than answering you.

That, plus any player I say we might have mismanaged you'll likely just respond "no, we didn't" as if that's authoritative, so it'll be a bunch of back-and-forth with no resolution which really doesn't interest me.

To offer an answer though, as far as players (besides those already mentioned by others) who have had complicated situations or have been brought back to play only to go out again, Olsen was one. DaNorris Searcy was a guy who got injured, went out, came back and was immediately injured again, Kevin Seymour had some weird story about being out because of a root canal but then was IR'd for something else, Curtis Samuel was perfectly healthy except when he wasn't, and we traded for a guy named Corey Robinson who was apparently already injured then never used him.

Oh, and that Cam Newton guy. Him too.

But yes, I know "none of that applies" because you say so. Hence, my disinterest in spending time on a discussion where you'll just say "am not / are too" ad infinitum.

Ask yourself this, though. Why, on an annual basis, are there people asking questions about the competence of our medical staff? What are those questions come up anyway?

Oh yeah, that's right. It's because we seem to have an awful lot of injuries.

So basically, feel free to say "no, not true" and declare victory if it makes you feel better. Again, I'm not that interested when ultimately we'll just disagree on interpretation anyway. 

But hey, have the last word if you want it.

Well, generally I prefer I prefer a more interesting topic, or at least one that isn't going to devolve into just "I'm right, you're wrong" back and forth over and over again.

Or at the very least, someone with more interesting takes that you typically have.
