Loose lips are sinking ships

Dr. Karlos Dansby and his big mouth are tipping off the Panthers that Q will be playing Saturday. I wish he'd keep his pie hole closed. You want to keep the Panthers guessing, not tip them off that he'll be ready.
Whis needs to have a little chat with his star linebacker IMO.

No matter what the news is, you don't think John Fox prepares as if Q is playing?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

After how quickly Q came back from his face injury, is there really any doubt that Q wouldn't come back for this game?

 

[Buckybird]

If Q plays more than a few series with a bad hammy, I would be shocked. How long has Q waited to just play in a playoff game? I highly doubt he would have missed most of last week if could have played. Common sense says it would take a miracle.

 

[Brianellsworth]

Maybe we should sit him out to save him for the Superbowl

 

[DeAnna]

Dansby is no scholar, but he does know how to use reverse psychology!

Not really. But at least I'd like there to be a wee bit of doubt in the Panthers minds as they prepare. Now there is NO doubt at all.

I don't think that the word of Dansby of all people is going to confirm or deny anything for the Panthers' staff.

I have no idea what's going on it could all be a ruse, orginally it was a cramp then a tweaked hammy.

He wasn't limping like a cramp where most times you can barely walk.

But the trainer was stretching him out, not sure you do that with a hammy, ie you can make it a lot worse.

Playoff subterfuge, ah you gotta love it.

The lovely Stephania Bell is on a video on Mike Sando's blog talking about Q's injury in general terms, e.g. needs rest, won't know until Sat. night how it holds up in a game, yadda, yadda, yadda,

1. Panthers are planning on him being there, regardless of what Karlos says. Wouldnt you?

2. Karlos hardly said anything authoritative or definitive.

Exactly!

Berry tonight during the big red rage said that if you knew Q even a little, you wouldn't doubt for a moment that he'd play Saturday. He said if the hit he took in the Jets game couldn't end his season, no hamstring injury would keep him off the field.

SOmeone (Pasch maybe) asked if you could inject pain killer into a hamstring injury)Wolf's response was along the lines of asking if he'd be visiting the trainer with the needle full of blue liquid... and Berry said the liquid was clear now. Wolf said he had to visit the man for the blue liquid injections more than a few times in his career.

Yeah, on second thought, Josh McCown has probably already tipped off the Cats that Q will be playing Saturday.

This is no big deal...

Tis the season for misinformation and disinformation; rumor and innuendo (with elements of truth sometimes buried admidst the BS).

Either Q will play - or he won't; and, right now, no one (regardless of what they might say) - really knows. (The net impact of D-Dock's comment figures to be zero).

That said - I do wish some of the more flamboyant members of our team would excersize a bit more "street paranoia" and be more cognizant of some of the non-football things that can help you lose (i.e. "not win") - like excessive celebrating, losing focus on the sidelines, trash talking to rile up opponents or popping off to the media.

I've never quite understood why players wishing to demonstrate their excitement over a big play couldn't at least hold it in til they reached the sidelines where - if they wanted to make snow angels or "ride the donkey", they wouldn't be flagged.

Being asked football-related questions in January is a very unusual situation for most Cardinals players, so I guess that they should be forgiven if they don't handle it perfectly.

...or if they are being asked questions in January, Cardinals players are used to being asked -
"What went wrong?"
or
"Where do you go from here?"
