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

      I'd love to have Eli as our QB. He was a proven baller in the playoffs, and still a legit franchise QB who was better than the majority of the league in the regular season. Honestly the Giants didn't build many great teams around him. Put him in a beneficial situation like Belichick, Reid, Tomlin, etc. run and he could've won more than 2 SBs if you ask me. He was on a lot of bad teams, like really bad teams, throughout his career.   Hell, swap him in for Rivers in the mid-late aughts and I bet he gets the Chargers a SB. Still think that whole draft situation was bullshit and lost respect for Eli there, but whatever.

      Yeah but if you are talking about something like an extremely rarely used or needed play like a QB sneak, it's already a pretty off the rails argument. That doesn't factor in enough to W's and L's to be something that is particularly relevant.  If you want to talk overall arm strength, field vision, footwork, consistency, athleticism, etc on Bryce, those are all valid critiques of his game and why he hasn't been successful. But the oddball obsessions about pretty meaningless aspects are a bit bizarre. QB sneaks? Not enough 40+ yard passes? Workout regimen?? Guys....there is ample stuff to criticize without this kind of nonsense.

      Im not saying he should, but its one more play that's off the table. Do you think the eagles would be as good without the QB sneak?
