A broken collarbone that the decision was not to operate, it got reinforced week 1 the next season . He got surgery and it's been fine since, then he broke his leg.

I would be far more concerned if it was a long list of muscle,tendon,ligament issues.

Exactly. All the injuries are bone breaks. I've broken bones in the past, that doesn't make me injury prone. Haven't broken one in over a decade.

I don’t know why this is a suprise. Even team is passing on him. Reguardless if he can play, he and his dad are proving to be cancers.

I've seen projections for the 1st round as well as mid rounds.

edit: I'm still trusting the new regime. I'm already excited for next season.

Do you play professional football? I think 3 broken bones is better than 3 torn ACL's but its still a concern. A lot of young players careers have been derailed by broken bones. Kevin White comes to mind. Lions #2 overall pick Charles Rogers is another.

Does it matter? Broken bones can and do happen to anyone is my point. Having one doesn't make you more likely to have another, unlike soft tissue injuries.

I don't like the QB pick because there were a few EDGE rushers and Defensive Tackles right behind our QB pick. We need to rebuild offensive and defensive lines. Cam Jordan and others are NOT going to play much longer.

Yeah it really does. I just finished a day of working Microsoft Excel and a keyboard. I have never broken a bone in my life. Anyone can break a bone but if you play football its more common, and then some people are also just more prone to it, maybe they are worse at avoiding hits, maybe their calcium is a little worse, whatever it is an injury history is a concern.

The argument against that will be in the next few years you have to replace Carr. Even average bridge QBs are getting paid 20-30ml a year. Better to spend a 40th pick and have a rookie QB the head coach thinks he can work with under a rookie deal and then find DE/CBs

You can be coached on taking hits better, you can take calcium supplements to improve your levels. I just don't see it as being as big of a deal as you do. The greatest player to ever wear a Saints jersey..hell, one of the greatest to wear any jersey..came to us a year after suffering a near catastrophic injury and went on to a hall of fame career. Would I prefer he had no injury history? Sure. But he's still the most pro ready QB in this class. I'm not even out here trying to say he's going to be any good, but to knock him for his past injuries is silly.

Saints need a CB
