what players could we have taken instead of Werner?  he seems to always be injured.

DeAndre Hopkins is basically Reggie Wayne Jr.

 

Xavier Rhodes is playing well

 

That being said, I think he will develop into a good player. Just unfortunate that we have so many guys getting hurt

dropping like flies is an understatement.  no excuses however.  it seems like the Patriots are always dealing with injuries.  They are undefeated and playing very well.  I hate to say next man up because I'm starting to toss-up in my mouth a little bit when I hear that, but............................

It's a football thing. I don't think the Colts have any more injuries than other teams.

will Carol who is an injury expert said a study done over the last 15 years showed the Colts have had more injuries than any other team in football over that span. Frankly makes all the winning we have done over that time more impressive.

Not all injuries are created equal. The Titans lost their QB for over a month, Packers lost starting LT before the season even started, Seahawks offensive line is a mess/Percy Harvin. It just gets old hearing this board whine as if other teams don't have to deal with the same issues.

Especially when our hated rival the Pats just lost one of there best players (Wilfork) for the season.

Actually, stats show that Indy is actually one of the most injury bitten teams, historically speaking

I don't know about the Will Carol study. Will have to look at it.

 

As for the AGL stat, that doesn't necessarily mean that the Colts have more players injured. It means injured players missed more games.

 

Maybe the Colts have had more injuries, or been more adversely affected by them. I know 2010 was ridiculous.

Keep in mind that number was starters only, meaning we were missing enough top guys for long enough to equal about 90 games missed to injury in a 16 game season. Pretty crazy.

Did some research on this injury.  Looks like they cannot fix / repair the actual torn ligament, eventually scar tissue will form and bridge the gap where the tear is and thus the 6 week+ recovery time.  They start out with crutches (no weight bearing), then migrate to a boot with limited pressure then move from there into special orthotics and such.  This injury leads to other symptoms and other foot problems but he's young and will be prescribed special supportive cleats providing optimal support for the ligament, he then should be good.  The best article I could find on it is below.  The NBA sees a lot of these, same numbers as ACL injuries. Get well

And I said it didn't seem good for him.

He's out for 4-6 weeks

I was right .. Again.

U just guessed. I could say that about any player that leaves the field....and be right at times. Or u had some inside information that u kept secret.

I have my sources..

None were certain at the time of my first post.. Just speculation..

Just had a gut feeling that it wasn't a good sign..

      I think I was wrong in my guess here. On later inspection, it seems like the more likely situation is that the part about his diabetes is still in this article, but it's just hidden behind a paywall..

      That could have happened. Could have been a HIPAA issue too.   But I think the fact that these other quotes existed (even if they were put in later) adds necessary context to this situation. It wasn't just AD being the victim of some smear campaign that somehow heavily influenced NFL teams...as seems to be the narrative. Instead, there were also concerns among different scouts (assuming it wasn't one scout) about other aspects, including his Combine workout.   So we know what some thought...and we know what happened. 10 teams drafted WRs before AD. Yes, 3 of those WRs were going earlier than him no matter what, but 7 other WR-needy teams opted for other WRs. And even Ballard actually traded down with him on the board. It seems fairly safe to assume that NFL teams didn't have him as a R1 WR, or top 5 at the position, for reasons beyond a couple comments from anonymous scouts.

      Cardinals need to sweep the Marlins in their 3 game series.  At minimum win 2/3.   It's a chance they cannot mess up.

      Honestly, isn't that kind of a base level journalistic integrity and ethics? I don't think he's setting up some arbitrary litmus test. I'm no journalist and have no idea what the professional standard is, but this to me seems like a pretty reasonable standard - if you are writing about someone and a source is sharing pretty disparaging information that might affect the subject to the tune of millions of dollars, the least you should probably do is to ask for comment from said subject, before you print that information.

      Kind of seems like you're setting up a litmus test for whether a reporter is "good" or not based on whether they do this thing you don't like. So maybe you could share some well-respected media in your opinion -- sports would be most relevant -- and then we could share some examples.    I agree that the best practice would be to reach out to the subject for a response. But if the subject declines or doesn't acknowledge the request, now what? Add a line saying 'subject declined to respond,' and now the unnamed sources are viewed with more legitimacy?
