newton has a boot on his ankle

Back in?? When did they leave??

The second Cam shut you and TRD up.

I think (and hope) Newton will be ok. Could be worse, look at the Beagles, Vick is out (concussion) and they have a huge game against the G-men up next.

many more injuries, and we'll be back in the Luck sweepstakes...something we may need to re-load at all these positions we are dropping like flies from.

Newton's first two games alone have probably saved him from us even thinking about Luck if we happened to get that pick - which at the highest I give us a 1% chance to get, the Chiefs and Seahawks are way worse than us, we will win Sunday - if we got it, we should trade to a top 5 team, get maybe all their picks which then would give us like 5 picks in the top 70. Get Justin Blackmon or Alshon Jeffery.

fwi, the "Luck sweepsakes" means 1st over all pick in 2012. Something the Panthers are still in the running for. Like it or not.

We left the Luck sweepstakes when Newton came out of the gates setting NFL records......

Now we just have potential to upgrade our team on defense or the OL.....even if that meant landing the #1 overall. Cam has come into the NFL doing what people thought Luck could do if he exceeded his high expectations.

He seemed like he was in a lot of pain that last stretch when he threw that bomb to Smitty.

It never fails. Something bad happens to one of our players, or the team loses a game or fails to execute on a play, and here you come with one of your cute little quips.

Does it make you feel better? Just wondering as to your motivation because from the outside looking in, it seems you would have no reason to post here.

The HELL we are.

There are way worse teams than we are. We came within one possession of taking the Super Bowl champs into OT.

FFS... unbelievable fanbase we have around here.

This is exactly why we need to go ahead and win a few games. If we do that, then we will never have to hear about drafting Luck again.

[GritsRgreat]

Just win :)

Our QB shouldn't be our leading rusher. I understand he was hit in the pocket, but you can't expose him to those kinds of hit constantly and hope this never happens. Let this injury be a warning.

You said it he was hit in the pocket. The rest is irrelevant. I told everyone he is more likely to be hurt getting from his blind side in the pocket then he ever will be in the open field where he can see it coming. Rushing had nothing to do with it.

If this injury is a warning we better run him more often and roll him out on every play and keep him out of the pocket.

Yep. Context is everything isn't it?

couple thoughts...

running Cam inside seems like a bad idea... I don't like him being our leading rusher in the situations he was running... I like him as a scrambler but he had a lot of QB draws. opens him up to more hits, and the more the hits add up... he's going to take hits from standing in the pocket the way he does, so we have to protect him in other ways IMO. but I think as Cam and Chud get used to each other a bit better, we'll see more run/pass options etc.

as to being in the luck sweepstakes, we still are in. while I think we won't end up with the #1 overall, even if we did, Cam would have to ROYALL SUCK for the next 14 games for us to take Luck. Otherwise, we'd have a king's bounty of first round picks to some poor team below us to get Andrew Luck, and we'd probably walk away with Jeffery or a nice DT/CB and a boat load of picks in the future.
