The Adrian Peterson Injury...

[TheOracle]

...is a reminder, a terrifying reminder that anything can happen at any time. Also because it is the kind of fear that sits in the back of your mind with a QB like Newton who is always going to be putting himself out there, between the tackles, inside the clutter of O-linemen and D-linemen and linebackers, nearly as much as running backs do.

You know it could happen at any time. Injuries happen passing in the pocket. You hope injury never happens, but the concern is real because the chance of injury also increases the more the QB runs around. Yes, even injuries as severe as Peterson's.

Cam took a few shots this past weekend that stung him. He felt that sideline hit, and a couple of the ones that he took while diving instead of sliding correctly. Those hits are like jabs. They start wearing on the body the more they happen, until... :eek:

Well, you hope they figure out a way to avoid or reduce exposure to hits. Running Backs know it comes with the position. Hopefully Rivera and the Offensive coaches come up with a "plan" to try and preserve Cam, starting with a helmet that fits and perfecting how to slide.

I feel reall bad for AP, such a great dude... He'll have a long road back, but I hope he'll be successful.

As got the rest of your post... Poo poo

We should only start worrying when teams invest in kryptonite, you can't hurt Superman!

Yeah I hope he doesn't blow his ACL & MCL like Tom Brady did running out of the pocket....

C'mon man its football... Once you step out onto the field you're likely to get injured.

We could always do a 1 for 1 trade of Colin Kaepernik for Jimmy Clausen.

Belated Christmas wish: Trade Freeman for The Golden Calf of Bristol. So Cam can whip up on The Golden Calf of Bristol 2x a year!

Suggesting Cam could go down is the best troll thread I could come up with due to the teams recent success.

Pathetic isn't it?

injuries are inevitable. If you did not know before, your experiences as a Panther fan, no matter how brief, should resonate that.

You cannot play to not get hurt. That is the quickest way to get hurt actually.

We just shouldn't even be talking about this stuff. I get bad feelings once people start talking about it.

I don't see what the big deal is here with the way Newton falls to the ground.

I've seen people in the past, while attempting to "slide correctly", tear ligaments.

I have never heard a single time out of Cam's bio that he played baseball in the past. If he did, it was probably at a time so far back that none of the lesson's learned therein still stick. So "sliding correctly" is probably a method totally foreign to him.

I think what Cam does, especially for a 6-6 guy with long as hell legs, is a much safer method of "getting down" than "sliding correctly". Because he's usually kind of falling into a ball/fetal position which IS a protective position.
