Injuries happen
Injury is the biggest equalizer in football today. Every year players coming off big years go down. And am I worried about Thomas going down? You bet. And if he does, do we have a answer? That is a flat out NO.
The last thing I want is to have another losing season as a result of injuries in crucial positions. This is why you don't get the ego Payton had when he decided to trade Cooks. This is a era of every other year success and I have a bunch of players' names I can show to prove that. |

Re: Injuries happen
Allen Hurns 2015
Eric Decker 2015 DeMarco Murray 2014 Le'veon Bell 2014 Mike Evans 2014 AP 2013 and 2015 Doug Martin 2012 and 2015 Alfred Morris 2012 Todd Gurley 2015 Look at all those names...........after those big years what happened next year, they either slumped badly, underused, or got hurt. Since Thomas won't be underused and slumping is not in his DNA, it could be injury. This is why I want us to sign Decker if he's released. He's the same type of receiver as Thomas is, wideout that takes small passes but can take it deep, redzone success. |

Re: Injuries happen
I'm not worried about it just yet, but yes it would provide some assurance if we could sign a veteran possession receiver to contribute.
But we haven't even reached June 1 cuts yet, still got some time to work with. And there is the outside chance that LSU kid or someone else on our roster goes bananas and emerges for us. Perhaps Tommylee can elevate his game. |

Re: Injuries happen
Not a huge Decker fan, let's just pray we don't get busted up this year. Not even to rookie minicamp and I'm already depressed.
