Smh, Davenport will never, ever be healthy.

Always a reason that he'll never live up to his potential. May aswell wrap the guy in bubble wrap and let him out on Gameday, but one of the bubbles popping would probably rupture a tendon or something.

I've mentioned this before, but you can't say never. The NFL is littered with players who have experienced injuries early in their careers and have gone on to have outstanding careers. He has suffered a turf toe, lis franc and now something that we have no idea of the severity with his elbow. Totally unrelated. Yet you can be sure he'll "never, ever be healthy"?

Um, okay. Would you mind passing on the winner of the Queen's Stake at Kentucky Downs this weekend since you've got that crystal ball all shined up?

The best predictor of future behavior or performance is past behavior or performance. Is it a dogmatic eventuality? Nope, not even close, but those that question repeated injuries, regardless of whether the injuries are related, are not unwise, imho.

Exactly. I would love to know who these injured players are that are “littered” around the NFL after missing significant time their first 3 years. There are a few like Ingram but these players are in the minority. Especially first rounders.

No, the Saints don't have exclusivity on oft-injured players; Browns, Jets, and Dolphins have had stretches where their No. 1's never played, or played for long, their rookie years...
