I agree. CMC was injured more AFTER he bulked up.  Weight didn't help Cam or Corral.  I don't want him to do anything that might slow him down or reduce his slippery shiftiness. 

To be fair, Corral wasn't that heavy for his size when he got injured. It was just bad luck.

I can't believe Robbie Anderson doesn't get hurt often.  He is very skinny...

I chalk it up to what I saw an old wrestler from the 80s said in an interview once. Everybody has something the wrestler called a bump card, which means everyone can take only so many hits before the body fails and it's different for everyone.

I played Hockey and Football in High School. Played Softball until I was almost 50. Road dirt bikes until I was no longer allowed to. And I never got hurt. But I have very few friends my age that haven't had some sort of injury. So... From my sample size. You are likely to get some form of injury if you hang out with me.

 

I am of the mind that injuries happen. They strike without warning and without provocation. They afflict the good, as well as the evil. And when it's your time? Ain't nothing you can do to stop it. 

 

It's like the Flu. Some folks get it every year. Some folks every so often, and some folks never get it.

I thought that too when I saw some recent video of Bryce. He won't get taller but getting stronger and thicker will help him absorb punishment better.

If he can end up something like a Russell Wilson build he will be good to go.  Now Russ is naturally thicker than Bryce but I don’t think 215-220 is out of the question in 3 or 4 years

Yup. I managed to never have one single knee or ankle injury, sprain anything while playing sports heavily in HS and Division 1 in college. Then I tore my meniscus in my knee just squatting down to pick my kid up. poo just happens

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      The Jets and Bill's are statistically worse
