It happens.  Even to the best players  and as much as we want CMC back,  he won't be an asset till it heals.  I was really hoping he'd be back this week  but won't be.

This happened to Steve Smith in 2006.  He injured his hamstring the first day of training camp ,  then stained it again Sept 5th of that year. 

Here's the read:

It’s a 17 game season. Just like the coaching staff, we as fans need to adjust our thinking to balance that as well. I doubt we see many players play 100% of the games this year. I expect the NFL franchises to consider the NBA approach of resting players and play conservatively with injuries.

Might just be an anomaly, but it seems like there's a whole lot of them surrounding CMC.

 

Last year a high ankle sprain, followed by a shoulder injury, followed by a quad strain.

This time, a hammy. 

What's it going to be next time?(and to think there isn't going to be a next time is pretty naive at this point)

Smitty played 14 games in 2006...played 16 the year before & 15 the year after...

...followed by 14, 15, 14, 16, 16, 15, 16.

Adds up to 9 missed games in 10-seasons.

 

We just going to ignore that he missed the entire 2004 season due to injury on MNF vs Green Bay?

They happen and people can get over them. I honestly have no qualms if CMC rests another week. Things can change during the season it’s not like this is end of season push.

I'd rather he sit 5-6 games and come back healthy than try and make it work and then play a game, miss 3 games, play a game, miss 3 games, play a game.....

Well, that's why a lot of us were concerned about having the highest paid RB in the NFL combined with a very, very, very high usage rate. The history of those two things has not been kind. 

I'll make an odd statement about it......it actually sucks that CMC isn't just above average. Had this just been a Hurney/Gettleman overpay, we could have just cut our losses and jettisoned him already. In a strange way, it's unfortunate that he is arguably the best RB in the NFL and definitively the best dual threat RB in the NFL. His greatness may make us hold on longer than we should if the next couple of seasons are also injury plagued. 

I am not predicting that nor certainly want that, just pointing out that it is a real possibility.

He is being used too much.  I said it to the Cam Newton nut huggers back in 2012-17:  Every hit takes its toll.  I said on the Huddle that he was not going to have a long career and Rivera is to blame.  Yes, it was fun when he lowered that shoulder and took on a S or LB, but tick tock...  The nut huggers have never let me know that I was on point---they forgot, I suppose.  No apologies, "you were right", no cards, no flowers.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
