Bottom line for me I am a believer in Robinson's three down skill set and don't believe his injury recovery is remotely as dire as most of you think. Akers, who I own zero shares of btw, was someone I said similar things about on these forums when he went down-that the injury was not as dire as everyone thinks.
Injury-wise, I agree - modern medical science continues to amaze me. That said, as
@JohnnyU implies, the jury may still be out on his recovery (I'm less skeptical based on what I've seen so far). And regardless, we don't know if Akers is an outlier, or the new normal for Achilles repair. Not being a doctor, I also don't know if there are more and less severe types of this injury, and if that contributed to Akers recovery?
But all that aside, Akers plays in a better offense, on a more established team that's in win-now mode.
Robinson is on the Jags, arguably the worst team in the league, and I'm gonna say tied with Houston as the most disfunctionally run organization in the NFL. They have a 2nd year QB who wasn't particularly impressive in his 1st year, a bad OL, a bad defense, and TBD amount of competition from ETN when he returns. I'm hopeful that Leftwich can turn things around, but I certainly don't expect miracles in the 1st season. I'm hesitant to buy in to the Jags in FF for those reasons & more, and Robinson comes with his own questions in terms of recovery, upside and ceiling.
I'm just saying, it's not as simple as "Akers & Robinson both tore their Achilles" - hey, Brad Pitt & I both take pictures in our underwear, but no one's racing out to make a calendar of me.
Check out my onlyfans tho.
