Cam Newton injury

[Guest]

All the commentators and players I hear say, "No way will we accept an 18 game season". But the owners will dangle something like an extra 2% of TV revenues to the salary cap and the players will give in.

You think 4 is bad I remember when they played 6 preseason games.

Or shit happens.  If there were only 2 preseason games, this would have been week one and they would be screwed anyway.

This.

Lamar Miller tore his ACL on his first touch of the preseason last night. 

Would people feel any better about it if it was the first play of the regular season instead? No.

Injuries are an unfortunate reality, and cutting down preseason won't make much difference. 

Also, how many saw that play? Newton held the ball for 6-7 seconds! I love his competitiveness, but he needs to understand when to throw the ball away or simply go down, especially in the preseason. Newton is a veteran, who has spent plenty of time banged up! Simply put, he has to be smarter.
