I’m not blaming anyone in this thread but we are at a point in our society where a young man gets hit in his chest with the force of a train and certain demographic of people are blaming his near death on something entirely unrelated and using this as an opportunity to spread misinformation. Our society is fuged.

This is what I’m worried about most. It seems we technically didn’t watch a young man die on national television but I’m still concerned about his quality of life after this. 

Yep. I did manage to find a high enough quality clip that I think was after the first commercial. It was before the ambulance showed up, that definitely showed him move his arm under his own power. Which makes me optimistic they got his heart restarted in the proper window.

Skip Bayless is a real piece of work.

 

This isn’t as bad as many people are making it out to be. Skip is a professional troll but I didn’t read this as advocating the game should go on. People are just traumatized and looking to vent their emotion on someone. 

Hope you all do something special for your loved ones today. Call that relative you haven’t talked to in awhile.

Nothing of what he said was bad. Cool it.

Telling me to better articulate myself after failing to do just that himself may not be considered bad but it was pretty hypocritical to say the least.  

So no.  I am not going to, as you say, "Cool it".   

Besides, I've put him on ignore so he won't be hearing from me anymore regardless of what he says going forward.  🤷‍♂️

 

Now excuse me while I get back to thinking about Damar and hope he pulls through.

Sounds like he's on the right track at least which is a huge relief.

Times like this it's not even worth it to subject yourself to social media reactions. If it isn't some idiot blaming unrelated issues it's someone using this as an opportunity for emotional concern grifting to increase their own profile. I hope he makes a full recovery. Nearly ten minutes without oxygen is a big factor though.

it’s funny how so many don’t understand gooddell is literally (and simply) just a puppet. y’all think he’s calling shots lol

he’s there to take the shots, including being fired, it will just be next man up 

His job is to protect the brand. We all know that. But waiting 30 minutes after Hamlin is taken away in an ambulance after CPR doesn't do that at all. Look at the emotions it pulled out of people, not just the players. Telling these men to warm up and get ready to go doesn't protect anything. It makes you look like a compassionless asshole. If you're the CEO of a multi billion dollar organization and your job is to protect the brand, you need to be able to read the room. Suspending the game to allow players time to recover from what they saw wouldn't be difficult. No different really than if a game had to be called due to lightning. Reschedule, play the game, and at least pretend like you care. It's not a good look for the NFL right now.

If this was strictly from impact then they need to look at some extra layer of protect over these guys chests. You have to do your best to protect these men. Even if it’s a rare occurrence like this. 

I’m wondering if the protection was actually actually a contributing factor here. He was moving pretty fast after medical got to him which means his heart was restarted, but since they continued CPR I’m guessing his lung weren’t functioning properly. Same risk of brain oxygen deprivation applies. I’m wondering if the should pad unit exasperated the hit/preserved the hit position on his chest causing even more internal pressure that may have collapsed one or both lungs. I am no medical professional so this is purely speculation.

I expect we will see some changes in policy come out of last night.  Whether they are substantive or performative, only time will tell.

 

But I would very much hope this reminder of how fragile our existence is will stick with this community and tone down some of the poo that get thrown at these players.  All the "he is trash", "Ill trade him for a ham sandwich", "dude is garbage", etc.  These guys are people with families and loved ones and we (myself included) sometimes forget that when we plop down in out Lazy-boys with a beer and a brat to watch on Sundays.

Hopefully the first responders were able to minimize as much damage as possible by administering CPR fairly quickly.

I also think it’s important that if you are able, take the time to become CPR certified. It’s not a difficult process and can save lives. You pray you never need to administer it but if you ever have to, you are glad you learned how to.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
