More Irresponsible Injury

[fitty76]

The Panthers having pointless/useless OTAs, resulting in Thomas Davis' injury?

Or Steve Smith's flag football injury?

[Carolina•Pride]

Injuries happen, less often then than threads that could be absorbed into one another

The Smith injury....it could have been avoided.

[Dpantherman]

do other teams not have "useless" OTAs? and as far as the football game, many players engage in these "irresponsible" activities. we just don't hear about them bc they don't get hurt

[Dpantherman]

and just to answer the question...option #2

The Panthers should just hire a new medical and conditioning team... The injurys all the seasons have been crippling, I know it may not make a difference but sometimes change is all the karma you need.

[pantherclaw]

The Panthers should just never have any of their players practice!

Especially their star players! They are already the best! They don't need practice!

Heck, lets lock up all our players into a max security prison so we can control every move they make!

It's time to end all this, and keep our players in a bubble for the rest of their Panther careers!!!

Uh lets see, getting hurt while performing a drill for your team at OTA's or breaking your arm playing flag football at the YMCA.... hmmmm

[panthers55]

Truth is that injuries can happen at any time. Davis' injury was a fluke as was Smith's arm. Sure you shouldn't play flag football but lets be honest he has played before in that league and never gotten hurt. Now it is a major problem.

So should he avoid all possibility of injury from any source? That means he shouldn't drive anywhere since car accidents are a major source of player injuries off season. He should avoid climbing a ladder, swimming, doing any kind of physical work etc.

I get that playing flag football can cause accidents but really how many folks get injured? I figure his arm was susceptible to another break for whatever reason and this is an opportunity to fix it and get him better for the year. Otherwise I imagine he would have done this in training camp or in preseason anyway. After all he hurt it without any contact at all.

Steve Smith should have never played in that game against the Giants last year. Had he not broken his arm then, he probably wouldn't have fractured it playing flag football.

Damn that irresponsible coach Fox for putting him in a game that didn't matter! Weren't we up by like 30 points when he got injured?
