That really sucks.

I thought when Vermillion was gone we would have a trainer that would get these guys in condition.  Do we have a bunch of wuss players or is there another reason.  I know our season isn't tanking, but it seems a lot of injuries, year after year.

These South Carolina guys have a bad history of getting injured often in the NFL for us. Byrd, Horn, Shi Smith…

As I recall, Smith also did something dumb and got himself in trouble, but he is at least still around trying to make the roster.

Byrd was always a talented guy who was just small. That's a tough combination in this league, even Smitty had some massive injuries from the hits he took.

I hope he heals up well and the year will help him decide which way to go, back to the field or on to the rest of what should be a good life out there.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
