Re: DRAFT 2025 LIVE THREAD
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.

Re: DRAFT 2025 LIVE THREAD
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.

Re: DRAFT 2025 LIVE THREAD
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.

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.

I am not sure a 26 year old rookie has ever had a successful NFL career? Is there precedent? Warren Moon was older but he played 4 years in the CFL first and won the grey cup every year. There have been a few great 6'1-ish QBs who didnt run. I can't find any successful QB who came out of college at 26. So not only does Shough have to turn from glass to steel, he then has to not be steel Chris Weinke or steel Brandon Weeden. |

Again, I'm not ready to anoint him the starter or even say he'll ever be good, but I think that's true of every QB in this years draft. The whole league passed on Shedeur in the 1st. The browns, who are every but as QB desperate as us had 2 chances to take Shedeur, and yes, Shough too, and passed on both. The Saints obviously believe in the guy. Only time will tell if they're right |
