Owens - a broken fibula isn't what I'd call concerning. Considering he played on it. Cold Beasley played the playoffs with a broken fibula. Plus that's only 1 injury and it wasn't even severe enough to be detrimental to his play.
Boldin - I'll give you this one, but I wouldn't give up a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th and pay him $16 mil a year for his production after the his injury. I'd give up a 5th and be willing to pay $10 mil/yr for Hopkins, but that's not happening.
Jerry Rice - No one is Jerry. Dudes a unicorn and would do things no one could ever dream of at the position.
I'm pretty sure I brought up Jerry Rice in the initial post, but he doesn't count because he's Jerry ****ing Rice. Boldin fits I guess but it's not like he was putting up elite or even great numbers. He wouldn't be worth what it will take for Hopkins.

Um, hello? AP also ran for over 1,000 yards at age 33, and nearly another thousand the next year at 34. And let's not forget that RBs take a ton more punishment than just about any other player, so what he did was remarkable.
Lol, TO being disrespected even now. And how would you know how bad an injury a broken fibula is?
Who cares what you would take for Boldin? I don't think we're in any danger of you being GM anytime soon.
Jerry Rice was a unicorn, but he was human at the end of the day. He was seriously injured after 30, then reinjured that knee within a year. And still posted multiple 1,000 yard season afterwards. Since we can agree that he was an actual human being, he counts as rebuttal for this argument.
So yet again, we've satisfied the parameters of your argument. You said that you couldn't think of anyone that had a serious injury after 29 that went on to have success, I provided several.
Please refrain from bringing this up again, and thank you.
