Kid who's twice had fractures in a relatively short NFL career had another fracture. Or if you prefer to refer to is strictly as a sprain (though I think we know it was probably both), he's had multiple ankle/foot/knee sprains as well.

It's not THAT fluky in relation to the rest of his injury history. It's just different.

If the odds of something happening are 1 in 6 and you roll a dice and hit the one on the first try....I guess you could call that bad luck. But hell man, there was still a non-zero chance you hit it.

And since each roll is technically independent of the next, the odds of you putting up the one on the first roll aren't any different than you doing it on the 5th.

It's just a probability thing. The odds of an injury of SOME sort were pretty high. He's always had them.

And the odds of an injury not healing right aren't nearly AS high, but they're non-zero. And with the number of injuries he's had, at some point there was a real possibility that he'd roll that one. Is it bad luck? I mean I guess - but it's still not something that should blindside you either.

Sorry, but this is just silly DJ. His past injuries had absolutely 100% nothing to do with how this one healed, and it's not just how it healed, the injury itself was bad luck too.

Injury prone type of injuries are inevitable. If that guy doesn't fall on Hollywood that way at that moment he never hurts his shoulder this season. It was all pure bad luck, and pointing to his injury history as if we should've saw it coming is just nonsense.

I'm going to stop coming into this thread. Nobody knows dick, but you'd think they'd scheduled a funeral by now and that our season was over.

So no new news?

As a Dr myself, I'm contemplating my response to the injury information we have.

What do his teeth have to do with this?

I fail to see how a guy with a history of sprains/fractures having a sprain/fracture is wholly unrelated to his injury history.

And I've already spoken to the recovery issue. The only way to avoid recovery issues is to not constantly be getting hurt in ways that require recovery.

You can act blindsided by it if you'd like - but you shouldn't be.

If someone's wife has a history of cheating on him with delivery drivers, then she cheats on him with a tennis pro AND gets pregnant...well, it wasn't a delivery driver and getting knocked up sure was an unwelcomed bonus, but shit happens when you marry a whore.

:shrug:

Silly analogy, and you know it. We'll just have to agree to disagree I guess.

Well you've blown right past the ones that make sense.

Figured I'd take a different approach.

You're a dentist not an ortho.

We are so ****ing back

The whole speculation is a bit embarrassing at this point. 2nd opinions! Good sign! Bad sign! They'd know! Even Shefters comments are as basic and vague as possible to cover any scenario. Anything that comes out and he'll appear "right". Literally everything that can be said would still range from a chance at a few weeks till a full season

WE'RE BACK
