iknowcool Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 This explains a lot. I don't know why we keep playing him instead of letting completely heal. Time to tank tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Cam is hitting that late-career injury wall...at 30 years old. I think his time as a viable starting QB is coming to an end, if it hasn’t already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost the love when he lost the SB. Since then he's been fully on the me-first and fashion-second train, with football as a distant third.

Last year he kept playing despite needing shoulder surgery. And he just tried to play through a foot injury (not buying the "re-aggravated" BS Hurney and Rivera are saying). I'm sure he loves the game still, his body has just been falling apart. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you have felt when going into the offseason fresh off of a SB appearance, thinking the team is going would have made a play for the top OL in Free Agency (Osemele) and used their draft capital to try to trade up to get Taylor Decker instead of drafting a guy they didn't need (Vernon Butler)? I personally can see why he checked out mentally, you can say a lot by your actions (or lack thereof), bottom line, their actions to protect their franchise player has been lackluster to say the least IMO, he's tired of putting his body on the line for a franchise that doesn't value him equally Edited September 17, 2019 by MSURacerDT55 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he loves the game still, his body has just been falling apart. I agree with this. Last season, he had a significant shoulder injury that he could/should have addressed immediately. Had he opted for surgery, nobody would have faulted him for doing so. He didn't opt for surgery, he played through that shoulder injury. You don't do stuff like that if you have football as 3rd in priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Turns out that when you use your body as a battering ram in the NFL for several years, injuries eventually start to crop up. Who could have ever predicted this completely unforeseeable sequence of events? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlin calling Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 plus it may be resources well spend if you invest in some capable OL to protect your QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I offered my services to the Jets. Only fair I offer them to Carolina. I can throw a football for money. I'm available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a business decision that would impact the first two priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
