1. Steve Young was very old for a player in the nfl in general. As you get older you are more injury prone. Vinny Testeverde had to be pulled out of a game when he played for us because his Achilles was sore and swelled up.

2. Steve Young got many concussions at a time when the extent of the consequences of concussions weren't known. The generation of nfl players he thrived in have been paying for undiagnosed brain damage. Nowadays there are innumerable rules put into place to protect the players, and the players know how to protect themselves on the field better.

3. Nobody wants Cam to dive head first into oblivion every single play. But like many of his runs, he can still protect himself and avoid direct contact, and he's been doing a good job of that the past two seasons. 3 if you count his last season at auburn. Downplay his participation running at the goal line or short yardage conversion situations, where the scrums get messy.

4. CRA stop getting sucked into P55's circular arguments

That is funny calling my arguments circular coming from you and CRA.

1 Young didn't get much work until he was 30 which is why he could play so long. Being 30 or 35 isn't the issue as much as it is 10;or 15 years in the league.

2.. He never ran more than 75 timesnin a year and only 700 timesnin his career so he didn't get in nearly as much hits as Newton. Playing in a WCO offense meant he took fewer sacks and hits.

3. He is going to run. The question is how times he is going to used as a runner instead of a quarterback who can run.

Everyone. Stop paying attention to the obsessive poster in CRA and the fullnof bull troll.

once again the principle that someone's arguing with p55's stance supercedes any rational thought he can comprehend.

you get older, you're more prone to injuries in this league, it's as simple as that

You may be simple but the answer is not. 35 is not old for most anything. What makes 35 old in football terms is that they have been playing and taking hits since 21 in the NFL. If a player plays sparingly for 10 years then at 30 he isn't more injury prone than a guy who is 26 and has played every down since 21. Sure old people are more injury prone but guys retire in the NFL at 25. It isn't the age but the amount of abuse they receive.

Then again maybe you struggle with this simple concept so feel free to resort to personal insults which is what you resort to when you have no clue what you are talking about.

hey p55 remember the time you spent an entire offseason arguing to me about how a mid 30s QB was going to rebound over a year post-surgery, partially influenced by the point that he didn't have as many "nfl years" on him as other QBs his age, and how it just completely blew up in your face that year?

who doesn't know what he's talking about again?

yea and if an athletic 80 year old who quit football in high school wants to get back into the game he can play until he's 93!

Um,..Even under the, if I can think it then it must be true, train of thought. This one is out there.

You may want to talk to CRA, cuz he may not like you stealing his shtick.

Typical of your kind of troll arguments. Make an extreme argument which is totally irrelevant instead of answering the discussion.

"guys retire at the age of 25 in the nfl"

i don't think that has as much to do with injury as it does with guys not being able to make teams because they don't have enough talent

The average lifespan of an nfl is 3 years. That includes injuries and cuts. Injury is a major reason guys get cut.

I thought age wasn't much of a factor. I thought it was about no quarterback has ever recovered from tommy John surgery.

and again you dont know what you are talking about as usual.

The funny thing is he actually thinks he made a good argument. He doesn't know how ridiculous he sounds.

Well one thing is simple....

Time after time, day after day....you can't grasp YOU do the same poo on the board you bitch about...

You ramble on and on about the same topics, you use nitpicky "facts" that aid your argument, etc. Only difference between you and I is I realize I do it....you are in denial. You are the CRA of the opposing view

Does it make you feel better to think you aren't alone. Instead of trying to put me in your same OCD category why not stop doing it. Even if I were like you which I don't think it is true it still doesn't justify you going on and on. The same with saying you will stop if I do. You argue with everyone and usually are the one to start the argument. I rarely if ever do the same with you. A big difference.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
