I'm sorry I upset you Yes, it's a violent game...and guys get a hurt a lot. Most guys aren't hurt 3 times before the first game is finished. Most don't need 2 surgeries in that span...particularly coming off an injury from the previous year. Some guys are more susceptible to injury. That's certainly not his fault, and I'm not blaming him for it. And sometimes one injury leads to the next even though, technically, it's not related. For instance, when you start taking apart your knee, it leads to other injuries later down the line. I'm certainly not on a ledge. The Texans defense up front is good enough even without Clowney.
If he had sat out last year and taken care of the hernia instead of playing on it and then hiding it from everyone before being drafted that would have been nice. That is actually a textbook definition of a related injury pattern. Once we see that develop, I will commit deep blue steel seppuku.
Sports hernia, concussion, meniscus tear... Don't see how that can equate to anything other than bad luck. Totally unrelated and totally random. The guy has just had a tough stretch.
This QB debate is silly...Wilson has a 100+ career rating, 8+ career YPA, and has thrown for 26 TDs in both NFL seasons. He's absolutely a stud QB and anyone that says he's just a good game manager hasn't watched him close enough. In fact, you can't have those types of numbers and be considered a game manager.
He's a very good QB that the Seahawks choose to use as a game manager. I've made this point before, but people call Trent Dilfer a game manager when he was actually the opposite. He made terrible decisions with the football. The only reason the Ravens survived with him at QB is because they had a historic defense, an outstanding special teams, a good running game and because they chose to limit his chances to screw things up. He didn't manage the game well though. If they let him have the football in his hands he threw picks at a pretty high rate. Russell Wilson on the other hand is used as a game manager. Don't turn the ball over and make the smart play when you are asked to. He's more talented than that, but he's not asked to do more than that. The Seahawks don't ask him to put the ball down the field all that often, don't ask him to throw the ball that much at all really. Just make the right decision, don't turn the ball over, make the smart throw when we ask you to, etc. He just happens to be the best at it.
Especially playing behind the worst pass blocking offensive line in the league. Rodgers couldn't make it though the season behind a mediocre offensive line.
At what point did Russell Wilson join the Texans and how has he affected the Clowney injury situation?? Take that convo to a better place please.
Maybe clowney was looking ahead to tackling Wilson in the Super Bowl, lost focus and then bam...torn cartilage.
This is going to be a very interesting decision for the Texans to make. Option 1: Shut him down for the whole year to protect the investment beyond 2018 Option 2: Rip it out to maximize his time on the field but increase the likelihood of him washing out after his 1st contract ends Well, I say it's the Texans decision... but I guess it's actually Clowney's. Or is it?
Every injury is different, we don't know how badly it is torn, where it is torn....we don't know anything really. Let's stop the overreaction for a few more hours at least until we find out more.
