Why do injuries linger on this team and not other teams?

[PantherTrain84]

Ok, Adrian Peterson, Tore his ACL late last season on Christmas Eve and now just months later not only is he back to his former self but he may even look better than before. Trent Richardson, had major knee (or leg) injury during training camp only a few months ago. But yet he is on the field beasting opposing defenses like its nothing.

Then look at us. Beason tears his achilles at the very start of last season giving him over a year to recover, not even midway through the season he is now on IR yet again. Thomas Davis, sure he looks good now. But it took 3 ACL surgeries to finally play well again.

Does it just go back to us not being tough and our guys just not working hard enough to get back in shape? Is oit our coaching staff? Same goes for Hogan and Gettis, why do I have a feeling if Gettis had the same doctors and treatment AP had, he would be half way through 1000 rec yds this season already?

Bah humbug

makes you wonder. Beason has had some problems coming back.

when T. Suggs suffered his achilles injury....... I laughed when he said he would be back this season.

I would have lost a lot of money betting on that one.

[La Pantera]

Hahahahahaaa.....really? Oh,you're right it only happens to us.

[PantherTrain84]

I mean seriously, if AP was on our team, can you honestly say he would be playing at the same level ne is now post injury? Heck no, we would be talking about if Rivera would be activating him off the PUP before next week's deadline. Sure, different people heal different ways, but this is a trend for our team.

Suggs had a partial tear...Beason had a complete rupture. There's a big difference there.

Ask the vikings about percy harvin.

Every team has their issues with lingering injuries. AP has always been a fast healer.

Yep. We just notice ours more.

I dont think Trent had major knee surgery, it was just cleaning things up in there. Adrian Peterson is a physical freak. Suggs had a partial tear. And it could be the doctors, as with TD, his last surgery he said was probably his best thanks to the doctor. Other times, like Beason, athletes take pressure off their previous injury and apply extra pressure in other places, like his knee. Then it comes down to the players body. Not everyone is equipped to handle the same things.

we're no different than really anyone else. all teams get snakebit by the injury bug at one point or another. most teams have guys with lingering injuries.

or you could just point to it as another "woe is me" thing and think we are the only ones that this kind of thing happens to.

Two points:

Injuries happen to every team

Not having adequate depth makes the injuries determine if you can continue to win with them

I listened to a Dr. on the radio that said a complete tear was better for the achilles than a partial.

was he wrong?

i would add to that last statement, having a coaching staff that can sucessfully adjust what they do without that player around.
