If your name was Marty Hurney, I'd understand that rationale. As a fan, I think its rather callous. Just my opinion, though.

I think if you are a fan spending money to sit in those seats you should have an opinion that is valued a lil more. Marty wouldn't have a job if those seats were not selling!

Anybody who thinks TD is coming back after 3 torn ACLs are delusional.

Exactly. No team will ever be able to count on him as a starting linebacker. Not us or anyone else.

Should he want to come back as a situational player, i.e. 3rd down backer, then fine, he deserves a shot. But he has to be realistic enough to know that his days as a 3 down linebacker are over.

He's one of the guys that every fan will always be a fan even if he is responsible for beating us every year as long as he stays healthy and awesome. He's a great player and even better person.

That being said, It doesn't take a doctor or a negative person, or make you a bad panther fan to be pessimistic about his future as a panther, or player.

pessimism is expected, calling someone delusional for thinking that he might very well return when they dont understand the nature of the injury is ignorant.

The most recent injury TD had likely didnt do any damage to the rest of the joint since he didnt take a helmet to the knee or jam into the ground. There likely, not sure but I hope not, wasnt a lot of destroyed cartilage (which is the chit that keeps your bones from rubbing against each other). It is more likely that ligament itself snapped and there wasnt much damage otherwise to the rest of the joint. . I hope. In that event the doctor that last did the operation will be scrutinized and the next one will go to someone else.

EVERY patient is different and has had different past injuries. . . . SO, not knowing the nature of TD's past injuries (your not his doctor and you dont have xrays of his knee to know the extent of existing damage from prior injuries). . not knowing the nature of his current injury (not a lot of huddlers on the team training staff). and NOT knowing the nature of the joint works (not a lot of doctors on the huddle?) makes anyone who says he's done look like he's bullchittin. . . which he is.

but seriously. . is he gonna open up a restaurant? I hope they have potato skins. . . mmm the cheese n lil green onYON. . so tasty

edit: let me know when a real doctor shows up to explain to me why this 3rd injury is career ending. Im going back to watching my delusional lucid day dream of lil pink elephants with lil 89 jerseys

I agree with that. I don't get why there's a magic number to it that means it's over for good. You make alot of good points and I too hope that there wasn't alot of damage to the tissue that's left.

You guys complaining about his "cap hit" are monsters. Like you're writing his paychecks every week and its coming straight out of your account... Hes given his blood sweat and tears, aswell as a few acls for this organization and the first thing you think about is his contract? The sheer tenacity this man has shown the past couple years truly amazes me, and I will support him to the end. Get well soon TD, this team isn't the same without ya.

Im sorry but

Bulllssheeeiiittt

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
