Officially a game time decision but just had thumb surgery. I’m guessing he’s going to be held out. I can’t believe he’s considered questionable. 

True story:

Last year as the pandemic was just starting to hit us hard and hospitals were filling up, I was training with my boss in my new position as sales trainer, which is done over Zoom. He was 74 and owing to a ladder fall a dozen years ago suffers chronic back pain and to that point had had 4 surgeries on his back. He's training me on a class that has only one student but his back is killing him. His doctor finally locates an outpatient facility to do the surgery in and he tells me he'll have surgery Wednesday and then we'll resume class Thursday. I don't say anything but in my head I'm thinking "Yeah you're 74 and this will be your fifth surgery, Zero chance you're teaching the next day." 

Thursday comes and all I can do as I sit there all day staring at the screen while my boss teaches this one guy, the thought running through my head is "Well I guess I'm never taking a sick day."

Moral of the story:  If my boss at 74 can come back to work one day after back surgery, I wouldn't underestimate what a professional athlete in his prime is capable of.  I agree it sounds crazy, but people will amaze you sometimes.

Ya pretty hard to play DB in a club. If he just had the surgery he’ll probably be out 4-6 weeks depending on the severity. 
 

Though it wouldn’t surprise me if the Payton sent him out there with a club to do some damage anywho.

yep, there's a picture of him out there on the interwebs showing him suited up at practice yesterday with a big cast on his hand.

Got a feeling he's going to play.

A club cast on a corner..... That will hamper his ability to tackle and intercept.... I'm Thinking DJ will be matched up on him all day.

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
