If this doesn't get you pumped for the season, I don't know what will. It looks like Cam has his mojo back, and regardless of what anybody says, he did lose something last year besides a LT. Also, check out the little snippet about Peppers. The man is 16 years in and 50lbs heavier and he's running stride for stride with Kuechly and TD. That man is just unreal.

The comment about Julius and missing games made me curious, so I looked it up. According to pro football reference.com Peppers has played in 227 of 240 possible regular season game, starting 225 of them, and another 17 postseason games, starting all 17. That's 244 of a possible 257 games with 242 of them being starts.

Of the 13 misses, it appears that only 9 were due to injury since 4 of the 13 were his rookie year due to PED suspension. Of those other 9 games, 5 were missed in 2016. That means he missed 4 games in his 13 other seasons, 2 of which were in 2007 and 2 in 2009. It took 5 seasons for him to miss his first game due to (I assume) injury and before last year he had gone 6 seasons without a miss.

Love him or hate him, that's some incredible durability.

Fair. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt for whatever was going on that year but it's possible he was just pouting after being called out by JR.

Did it ever come out that he had mono?  For some reason that's sticking in my head, but it's been a long time.

No, but I remember the same rumors of illness and mono was tossed out a number of times. His wiki page (whatever credibility you want to give it) mentions an illness before the 2007 season but nothing definitive.

I really thought there would be more excitement over this little bit of news. I'm 50 years old and I'm pumped up about how Cam is approaching his rehab. I just have this feeling that this team will be even better than the 2015 team because there is the same buzz and the talent is better on both sides of the ball, IMO. Plus, they have been there now so they know how to handle it better.

how the fug does cam wear hoodies and all that other stuff while he's working out? I'd die of heat exhaustion 

I wear hoodies, thermals and beanies when I workout. Even in the summer.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
