If he is out, we shouldn't need him for the Saints.

I mean, we aren't actually in another universe from the Saints.  See the Jets game.  or the Cards game.  Or the Jags game.  Or the Pats game.  Or the Bills game. 

We basically have 1 WR Bryce Young can sort of get the ball to.  That's it.  It's him.

He, saying it's "only questionable" doesn't mean much since it just popped up today in practice, to me that's just the initial thing they put down, particularly as if they knew he wasn't going to play already, making him doubtful or out would give the Saints that knowledge too.  Had he been on the report all week but still practicing in a limited designation, I wouldn't be concerned.

But late week hamstring pop ups can very much go either way.  Either it was a slight tweak so they then sat him down for the rest of practice to make sure he didn't make it worse and cause a real injury, or it was a real hamstring pull and they'll make him inactive for the game to hopefully only miss one week as opposed to multiple weeks by playing and making it worse.

Canales told reporters there is concern after the injury popped up today (whatever that means)

I tend to prefer quotes vs our hack media interpretations.

"Something popped up in practice, so you know we shut him down for part of it."

"We'll look at him again tomorrow morning, though, just to make sure that he's ready to go," Canales said. "We'll just take a look at him tomorrow and see where he's at, hoping he can go."

follow up question was, is it a serious concern or do you feel pretty optimistic. 

Canales: "concern.  concerned.  Certainly so"

Well that's the problem, because as the other post here below says, he also said "to make sure he's ready to go", which is classic coach speak, both saying there is concern and then saying the other which makes it sound like they'd expect him to be able to play and need to confirm it tomorrow.

Did they shut him down because he legit got hurt or because he felt a small tweak and they did it as a precaution (which does happen all the time too), that's the question at hand.

Meh, if it was a "serious concern" I don't think he says the "just to make sure he's ready to go" part about it all.

Not saying he isn't legitimately hurt, but this just feels like one of those with much more questions than answers right now.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
