Broyles injury

[jde7676]

I agree on Young and Best but saying we knew Broyles would get hurt is only believable if it was the same ACL.

Undersized college players who were seriously injured in college.....that should be your firsr hint. Just a small hint lol. Theres reasons those guys get taken off other teams draft boards entirely....we get to pay for not doing the same.

Not necessarily. Some peoples' knees are more prone to injury and one knee injury could signal that another one is more likely even if it's not on the same knee. Also, maybe he was favoring the injured knee in some small way that made an injury to his healthy knee a little more likely. Either way, Broyles was a huge risk. There's a reason why the NCAA's alltime leader in receptions fell to us where he did, other teams saw the risk and said no thanks.

There's just too many of these mistakes/unlucky picks to be a successful team. You simply cannot waste 1st and 2nd round picks like we do on a regular basis and end up with a deep roster. I mean, this goes back more than just the last few seasons, we have gotten less from our 1st 3 rounds the last 8 years than any team in football. I cut it off at 8 years, because these are guys that should be the core of our team right now. Every time I see Andre Johnson play I think of Carles Rogers, ugh.

The new guys don't have much better of a record than Millen did with draft picks, that's why we're where we are now. The most depressing thing is that we're due for some significant turnover on our team next season, that's when we're really going to feel all the busts we've had when we can't address any needs from within.

What does him being undersized have anything to do with him tearing a knee. You want to say he isnt productive because he is small and easily pushed around that would make sense but not that a knee injury is caused by him being small. Thats really pretty ignorant.

The problem with the Young mishap and the possibility of Broyles not coming back quickly next season is that come draft time we still won't get our illusive CB. It wouldn't shock me if they went WR and RB first two rounds.

I say we build a stud defense first. The way of the Ravens, who can win without an offense.

Fuck ya, build a D that can out score any offense. Draft DE, CB, S, and bring back everyone but Avril.

Its simple physics.....when a big guy and a small guy run into each other....odds are the small guy gets hurt.

It's an acl, contact isn't needed for it to tear.

so its just a coincindence that every small playmaker weve drafted the last handful of years has been out with injury?....2 of them had injury concerns before they even got here. These were luxory picks I thought were dumb in the first place. Then they make them extra dumb by picking a best/broyles that have a history of injury. Wouldnt yaknow it....theyre injured here too. Its not frikken rocket science.

 

[schles192]

So if you've been hurt we don't want you, bye Delmas, stafford, fairley, pettigrew, levy, etc. Etc. It's football everyone gets hurt/ injured at some point. Knee injuries aren't what they used to be, if it was a shoulder or something they can't take from the dead I would be concerned. As it is its just frustrating that we went from a deep wr core to nothing in what a 3 week period. Just hope stafford doesnt get hurt holding on to the ball waiting for one of these scrubs to get open. Every pick but the first one is a player another team passed on.

I just don't know what to think of this team's luck anymore. Maybe this team IS cursed. Barry's Curse. Ever since he left it has been shit city...with a 10-6 season in the middle of it just to make the rest of it that much more painful.

Are you seriously stuck on stupid? Did you see how Broyles got hurt? He was barely touched. It looked like he was rolled up on, it was a tear.

My God, man..

Size has nothing to do with it. Maybe having a injury history does, but even big guys get hurt too. Stop being so fucking one dimensional.

sucks...he was a good fit in our offense. We dont have another guy on the roster that can do what he could out of the slot. I was glad when we finally were forced to use him cause of the injury to nate.....but he didnt last very long once he got PT. Add him to the list of unproductive high round picks. Hopefully he can come back strong and take himself off that list.

 

[kdp1980]

I think he will. Theres no doubt that he loves the game, and he knows for a fact that he can come back from that particular injury. Been there done that, I have no doubts on him returning and producing in Detroit.

Sure ya did.

And this is how you spell genius. Genius...
