see original post.... top-end and I put it out there.. to start the conversation somewhere. We may have to reevaluate the entire offense as a whole and mark everything down. I like McCluster, but.. they just lost an explosive player when they focused on trying to put more on his shoulders. Why would you do that again?'Banger said:
You mean... the 2 carries that Jamaal Charles had? Jamaal's injury has nothing to do with his workload. Also, KC isn't in the position to "save players" for later on in the season. If they plan on even having a chance to get a single win, they are going to have to put their best foot forward and put the ball in the hands of the players who give you the best chance to win.
if they do that ask for your entry fee back and leave the league
Yep, totally agree, JC was my favorite player to watch not wearing green and gold. Sad day for football fans. :(
I gathered the rest of the league and mounted our counter attack saying we will all leave. I have the guy holding the money on my side. Commish has yet to weigh in. I can't see how the commish will allow his league to completely break up due to him failing to set proper guidelines. We are very detailed and this has never come up. He's family with the complaining party but even if he sides with them I'll take solace in knowing that I got my money back in a retooling year and that his league is in shambles. We all know eachother but it's a hazardous realtionship between most of us. No sweat if I walk.
This sort of shallow analysis really gets on my nerves. Charles only carried half the load for KC last year and had a total of 12 carries this year before he hurt his knee. Charles didn't hurt his knee due to a heavy workload, he hurt it because he was trying to get the extra yard and he planted on it awkwardly.
You're over analyzing. I'm simply saying Charles isn't prototypical. They were FOCUSED on trying to put more on his shoulders.. as in more than last year, and it didn't happen. There are some players that prove the prototypical stereotype wrong and they usually make a living by finessing their way out of the trenches.. where he certainly wasn't injured. I really shouldn't have to type a book to express an opinion. I know some of you guys are whipped and upset. I am too.. NFL is losing good players early this year.BTW.. yes, McCluster in PPR with RB/WR designation is worthy.. in traditional.. I'm more bearish. That's just my honest opinion. I think coach finds the right mix at RB. Not the most explosive or most experienced or anything else. Just the right mix.It would be nicer if people could contribute to the discussion rather than cutting people down. Disappointed in the SP.
No he wasn't. You made a dumb comment. You were called out on it.
Lewis had a completely different running style. A back with Charles' style will be the most affected. I hope he recovers back to 100% but it's more likely it'll be less than that and for a guy like Charles, the difference between 98% and 100% is huge.
Either way.. I expressed my opinion ABOUT FOOTBALL and we can break down how each other talks or types and call it dumb, but I think that's just silly.I reflected on my gut feeling and think they were torqued maybe 15% too high. I think my high end was 900 - 9TD for Thomas Jones, but I was little short on sleep and time and was thinking a full season. Well, fact is we're 2 games in. So that's still possible, but in retrospect little lower probably better for pie in the sky estimate.
Yep.
The only small RB (under 215 lbs.) who I can remember doing well after an ACL (in college) is Brian Westbrook.Here's a page that breaks down the "RB ACL 2 Year Rule".
Your article link is a sobering reminder of how severe ACL injuries are. If JC's ACL is actually torn, he is not going to see the field until after next year, in the 2013 season; if this is the case he is a drop now and a pick up toward the end of next season, as a flier (even then his outlook isn't too rosy). Of course we'll know more when the details of his MRI are leaked.Doesn't anyone think that Thomas Jones deserves the look here; he was named the starter at the beginning of the season (even if everyone knew that wasn't true doesn't that at least mean that he was the #2 and now will be stepping up to #1?).
I know what is this guy talking about, rbs come back in less then a year all the time from ACL inj.. 10 months until we even hit July. He has almost a year to rehab. It's not like it was in the offseason or end of the year.
Poorly written on my part, I apologize; should instead said that he probably doesn't return to form till 2013. I personally would not count on him until I see him run hard for a few weeks in a row, when would that be; best case October 2012 - in this scenario somebody would be more willing to take a risk him than I would [overpay]. I do agree that recovery times are better, I seem to remember Kordell Stewart returning quickly, but the ligament still needs time to adhere to the bone and if he pushes his recovery he'll have a setback; I see better options.
Good question. I'm in the same situation.
Unless there's a league/site that doesn't pull their injury status from the NFL's official list...it should be across the board. The last official activity KC had was re-signing Becht and cutting O'Connell on the 16th.
