cut him

As much as I love the kid when he plays, he's a Gonzo/Sanders. Way too injury prone. He's good while he's out there, but he's almost _NEVER_ out there.

This is through no fault of his own, the kid plays hard. I do think it's time to part ways, though...and if he wants to keep playing I hope another team picks him up and he kicks butt.

The same thing just happened to Darrelle Revis, comes back from a concussion and suffers a knee injury (though his knee injury didn't look as bad).

Don't see anyone saying the Jets should cut him or that he should retire.

Darrelle Revis had a concussion. Not, what, FIVE? Plus he's one if not THE best player of his position in the entire NFL.

Revis also hasn't missed a buttload of games.

Thought Collie only had 4. Regardless, if he was ready to come back from the concussion this week, I don't see why a freak knee injury would suddenly make the concussion history more serious.

Regardless, we should wait to get more information on his injury instead of acting like knee injuries and concussions are the same thing.

My mistake. He "only" had four. In an extremely short span of game time played.

It has nothing to do with his concussions, he's just flat out injury prone. Poor conditioning? Size? Just flat out bad luck? Call it what you will, but the fact is he rarely sees the field AND, when he does, he can't seem to survive a full game.

I don't think he had any all last season, if I recall correctly.

My point is, this is a different situation. A knee injury shouldn't change how we view his concussion history.

    • I would still love if we signed Simmons but normally players get better in year 2, in Nicks case it will be year 3. Looks like Ballard trusts who he has + we still have Moore .
    • They want to give the young DBs a chance, like they've been saying since the end of the season. Maybe losing Daniel Scott (again) changes things a little, making it slightly more likely that they add a veteran at some point. But it's been a month and they haven't done anything, so I assume they'll wait and see what camp looks like.   I personally would prefer that they sign a qualified veteran, even if he's not an incredible game changer. Any of the vets whose names we've been throwing around since March would be nice to have. But they obviously aren't eager to do that, and I don't think it's about cost at this point. I think it's about giving the young players room to prove themselves.    There a few veteran established safeties and corners still unsigned. I think they have options, at least for now.
    • This really bothers me because many people don't know this, but the Vikings are my 2nd favorite team because my father was a diehard Vikings fan. I have never really posted that I don't think, maybe I did to @NFLfanat one time? I liked Denver too when Peyton went there but who didn't lol. I grew up having to hear my dad talk about Fran the greatest QB ever and in 1998 when they had Cunningham, Moss, Carter, Smith, and Randle - it was nonstop. So this hits home with me pretty deep. That is another reason why, I always barked backed at people talking bad about Kirk, because he was actually good. 
    • I had him 3rd round too. He was possibly winning a starting job on the Vikings outside of Byron Murphy if I remember right. Had a bright future. Hate when this happens. As you said, only 24. Way too young to die. I just turned 37 July 1st, so that's scary to think about.
    • Kid had everything, big, strong, fast, had the enjoyment of being drafted by the Vikings family, was going to make big money too. I had him going 3rd round coming out, I was close. This is really sad, only 24!
