Initial Diagnosis on Jordy Nelson is Torn ACL

Dammit! I seriously hope not. I like Nelson a lot. The NFL is going to be so watered down from so many season ending injuries to stars.

I still think the reason for so many injuries is the new stupid practice rules. Teams can't practice how they want to anymore, causing half ass practices. Then when they play a legit game, they aren't ready and more injuries occur.

Anyway, I wish Jordy a speedy and healthy recovery.

I was going to make a similar thread to reassure Huddlers that we aren't the only ones suffering injuries...  In this one game, Nelson tore his ACL, and the Steelers lost Pounced and Tuitt.  Not sure how serious those Steelers injuries are, but if I'm not mistaken, both were eventually carted off.

Damn... that is awful... didn't a Packers fan just post his condolences on KB too??

And I do not mean that in any kind of snarky manner- just irony.  The number of non-contact injuries is unreal.  It didn't look that bad to me on first glance, especially compared to KB's which looked like a torn ligament from the start.

On a Panthers note, though, it just shows that the Panthers aren't the only team that will suffer a devastating loss.  Nelson was their unquestioned #1 WR just like KB.

The truth is the NFL is an apathetic place to injuries.  Still got to play games.

The injuries around the league this year seems way higher and more hurtful than ever. What the fug is going on!

There's a new version of Gatorade that makes you weak in the knees.

Wow! Everyone is getting injured. This is crazy.

In order to even things up, every team on our schedule needs to have a star player out of action, at least for our game.

In all seriousness though, I hate to see any player get a season ending injury. Most NFL careers are short enough as it is.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
