I mean call it what you will but anyone who has played a sport, even at the HS level, can understand that a competitor would rather be playing than sitting out.

Everybody I knew who was a decent athlete growing up, myself included, would play thru pain and injuries as much as humanly possible.  None of those guys are ever 100% healthy and without pain.  It sucks but thats how it is.  I guess it goes back to the whole "are you hurt, or are you injured."

If he tears that hamstring the season is over for him. It’s not exactly an injury that is static. A hamstring injury can and will get worse if it’s not nursed properly.

Just look at Darren Waller, a hamstring injury nearly destroyed his career and he’s still having issues, albeit it has more to do with a nerve rather than the actual muscle.

We aren’t talking about a broken finger here.

Have a feeling he and Bryce are gonna go off tonight to the tune of 130+ yards and over 20 yards per reception

Lets go!  Tired of all the damn doom and gloom around here after 1 fuging week of football.  We absolutely can win this game tonight.  The Saints are not some unbeatable juggernaut.  I think itll be a good, close fought game and we win.

Can you guys just take a breath and not turn at least 1 thread into something negative?  This is just getting to be too much.  It is hard to wrap my head around how people who are "fans" of a team hate it so much after 1 frigging game.

Will Chark finish this game healthy?  I do not  know, but then I do not know that about any player.  I am just happy that he will be on the field...it is something positive and hopeful. I will be in that space today.  Some of you should try it....just start with a few minutes.

Preach.  Glass is permanently half empty here. 

My counter - Chark gets loose on at least one pass that goes for 40+

My best friend growing up was also a football teammate up through middle school.

As I recall, he'd had arthroscopic surgery on both knees by the time he was in the eighth grade.

He didn't play high school ball because he just couldn't anymore.

Give it to 'em LP.  I agree 100%.  WE have a building team for the long run.

There is no "long term" with DJ Chark. You play him full throttle on the off chance he's actually healthy, because those times are few and far between.

I meant long term for the season, not years down the road. I’d rather he miss the first two or three games and then be good for the rest of the year than miss the first and then go on season ending IR after game five or something.

I appreciate your posts. This will help people even if they don’t speak up. Thank you.

I mean yeah.  Sports are hell on your body.  I was a pitcher from middle school all the way thru D-1 in college and ended up with a torn labrum, tommy john surgery and a spinal fusion lol.

Yep. Did my fair share of damage to myself over the years.

I know a while back we had a thread where we talked about old sports injuries. Seems like a load of us were walking wounded 😆

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
