Every time I see someone talk about what an NFL player deserves, I remember the line in Unforgiven.

The NFL is the last place where you should expect anyone to get a Hollywood ending.

In the league, happy endings are the exception, not the norm.

Its not even about deserving it. It just common decency. How would you feel if you got hurt on the job and was promised it back once you got better when they had no plans to give you that job back when you got better and they were already looking for your replacement? Then during the prime window where everyone is spending big money to hire unemployed people is missed because you were under the assumption that you were coming back.

I have been saying this for two years now---Rivera KNEW Cam was hurt and manipulated him.  To add insult to injury, the prick traded for Allen when both were available...

When Rivera put the second or third string QB in the game to run a hail mary--he knew Cam was injured before hand.   I wonder how often RR got involved with the medicals--for example, Daryl Williams. Recurring injuries--

I tore my rotator cuff in college---that surgery is intense (was then, anyway).  I injured the shoulder during the first game (Elon--those bastards).  I played the rest of the season.  I could not even windmill my arm or do a pushup. 

Rivera didn't manipulate Cam to do anything. Cam wanted to play because he is a warrior and he is not going to let his team down. He is the type to push thru so don't try to blame Rivera for Cam's decision to play. Its not like Cam said he didn't want to play and Rivera tricked him into playing. This is the NFL a majority of players play thru their injuries.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.

      Princely defends Icky while streaming

      It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.

      And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
