33legend 317 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I guarantee if healthy he plays. These coaches and executives need wins to build resumes and keep their jobs. Piling up losses does not help for them short or long term. Plus these guys didnt get where they are without being competitors. Same for CMC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Cherkins 2 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 This talk of shutting down players has got to be a psycological play. Since when do coaches/gms/owners do such a thing. Can anyone give any examples of this happening in the past with details? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Usually not week 14 thought so we should all be ok. Thing people don't understand is unless you have won a playoff game or superbowl. Most coaches aren't guaranteed anything. So sitting your top players when your still trying to win games just doesn't happen often. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
cincythunder 53 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 just look at ekeler lol, chargers absolutely had no reasons to bring him back after a severe tricky injury (hammy) and they did despite chargers picking top 5 in the upcoming draft. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

If a player is healthy, no reason in the world does it benefits a team to shut them down with 4 games still to play. Link to post Share on other sites
roughnecker101 133 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Coaches and players are playing for their jobs. Besides they owe it to the fans to play the game. Maybes he is throttled back a bit. But I'd take 75% of McCaffrey over 100% of Davis any day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
this guy right here 1,080 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Players want to play. They are competitors. They have incentives. If word gets out teams prevent healthy players from playing the true competitors will sign elsewhere. Plus, I'm pretty sure the Players Association would take issue with that.
