The moral of the story is "act in haste, repent at leisure."
From what AJ said, he could have played but the coaches figured there was no point rushing things for a preseason game.
So he strained a muscle making a throw. It happens on hot days, like a back or receiver straining a hamstring.
Still don't get the vitriol toward this guy. Seems unearned to me.
I have no idea how good he'll be but I can't see writing anybody off sight unseen.
I wonder why they keep Porter around or keep bringing Ghee back if neither can get on the field. They must see something worth holding onto, right or wrong.
Who said we should cut DreK? I was one of his biggest critics after his rookie season, but I never said he should be cut. Either way, a 1st round pick should and does get a longer leash than a 5th rounder. Although I think it's a little early to panic on McCarron, people are only early by a week or two.
If McCarron isn't healthy real soon, he'll miss out on more game reps. For a guy who hasn't seen live action since the BCS championship game almost 2 years ago, that's a pretty big deal. I don't see much "vitriol" towards McCarron. Just realistic and fair concerns. Hopefully he's ready to go for the next game and he isn't always nicked up going forward.

Fair question. Dre has improved, but some people need to pump the brakes a bit. He's still never been a starter and some talk like he's all-pro.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
