Wow.  Lot's of confidence in this thread despite the fact that it is likely that being able to tackle and get off blocks could be problematic for TD.  I am not as confident as the rest of you guys.  I just hope TD or Rivera will not let ego get in the way and hesitate to put Shaq in if TD is ineffective.  There is just too much to lose.

So let me get this straight...

You're saying that a man, one who has recovered from 3 career ending injuries, who is playing with a broken bone in his arm, will be less than ready to play in the single biggest game of his life...

TD never played with a torn ACL.  He rehabilitated it over many, many months.  There's no doubt TD will be mentally ready to play.  But no matter how much heart he has, there is a good chance he will not be very effective with the forearm cast he will be wearing.  The question will be whether he is effective enough where he doesn't hurt the team.  It only takes one missed tackle due to his arm to lose the game for the Panthers.  And these same people in this thread will be blaming Rivera and TD come Sunday night.

Medical analysis indicated that the point where the break occurred isn't weight bearing.  It's just a matter of pain tolerance.

I think Thomas Davis knows a little about pain tolerance.

No, it isn't a pain tolerance issue.  There is no doubt TD will handle that.  Have you seen the cast TD will be wearing?  There is no way the cast will not effect him in some way.

You go for the perceived weak links, whether it's a rookie, an aging vet, a scrub you have to put on the field, or a guy trying to play with an injury. We would do the same. Any team would. If the link holds up you try something else. 

You better believe our staff will be watching to see how his arm holds up, just like Denver's will. Same goes for Allen's foot and all the other possible weak links on the field.

Multiple doctors have said it'll be a pain management issue.  He'll be on meds, lol.   Also, this is a guy who has snapped fingers back into places multiple games and had stitches on the sideline.   I would not count him out.   Maybe his grip won't be the best, but we've had two weeks to gameplan on that.   I'd blitz TD at Peyton early, you don't need a grip to knock him down.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
