Geez!  That's terrible.  I hate it for Becton, and I as well wish him a fully and healthy recovery.

I think most Panther fans have a different perspective on concussions as we've seen two of our best MLBs have their careers cut short by them.  

I hate it for these guys, period.  Sure they sign up for it,  they do generally get paid very well, but I still feel my stomach drop reading about these events.  I still have images of Luke sitting on a cart, crying and being completely dazed.

Yeah, that moment is forever seared into my brain. He was instantly transformed from being this larger than life figure, playing one of the toughest positions in football into looking like a scared little kid. That poo was rough to watch.

He's just 30 now...  the whole thing is so crazy.

Folks can say all they want to about how soft the NFL is now a days, but I don't think these guys should have to end up brain dead for my entertainment.  There are quite a few things that they can do to help reduce the risk of injury, which I'm all for.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
