The Cam Akers Wager Thread -- CLOSED (abloom wins)

[MEuRaH]

Well I like Free-rolling so i'll take NO and say (edited in on 5/7) that he suffers an ACL injury in the preseason and does not play during the season. Final answer.

I think we have a winner!

[Pet_Smith]

I'd call it null and void. Same as at the bookies if your horse doesn't start the race

RIP thread.

I won this wager by voting no, but in no way do I consider this a win.

Agreed. It just doesn't feel right.

BUT WE HAVE A CONTROVERSY:

Changing your mind and editing your post is OK up until the deadline.

Looks like he edited his post well after the deadline... even though I think he originally had ACL injury written... so I have no idea what he edited....

the edit for the time stamp (done by forum) says it was edited 5/8. I assure you it was all edited prior to the deadline which is also reflected in your first post where you edited in the all the choices (mine clearly states NO, ACL injury in preseason)

I believe guesses below are correct. If I made a mistake with your choice, let me know.

^^^ that part there


So I'm not actually sure why you think that i edited the post after 5/8.





Also I will now be accepting payment from anyone who wishes me to predict injuries for other players that are not on their team.

As unfortunate as this truly is, I'm happy it happened now rather than week 1-2 ala Saquon. Plenty of time to have surgery and hopefully recover by next season.

RIP thread.

Can I suggest A. Gibson as a top 10 RB this year. That seems similar to me. And I’ll take No, though I’m betting that would be the less popular take.

[MEuRaH]

Hey abloom, I made a mistake. 5/7 = May 7. I did June in my head for some reason.

YOU WIN!

Once again the most likely outcome occurs!

You should consider doing this for Swift.

Akers was injured off and on during training camp last year, and during the season too, and now this.

Perhaps he's more injury prone than we all realized?

He did play through ankle sprain(s) in College. Was doing a quick search to see what I could find.

But it is interesting how quickly things happen. Did a quick search for Cam Akers injury and already at least 2/3rds of the first few pages of google searches are links to his achilles. And his Wiki page is already updated.

The silver lining I suppose is he'll still be younger than Najee Harris is currently, next summer (ie turns 23 in June 2022).

Absolutely. The more time to rehab & rebuild the better.
