I don't follow the logic as to having an ACL injury in college will result in an injury-riddled career in the NFL.

If you guys would supply some factual information or maybe evidence to support your arguments than this can make for an interesting discussion.

However, since it's just rah-rah nonsense with people making generalities than it is what it is.

Well, the defense is in trouble due to injuries and I am favoring the critics on the injury prone players. The offense is the direct result of the OL fupar made by the Scouting department/Jerry Jones. Bad OL has a direct impact on bad plays and injuries. We are lucky that Romo is not on the injury list.

When a bad team like the Deadskins puts 4 scores on the board and it takes three quarters to decide to do something is a coaching problem. I am now with the nay sayers and believe the season is loss. Time to start trying out players for next year. Also, time to tell existing players they are playing for a spot on next years team.

I remember when Jason Hatcher was talked about one those "injury-prone" guys but I guess his body didn't get the memo this season.

Being a healthy non-impactful player is no different than being injured imo.

....and you are correct with that assessment. You don't have to have the best OL/DL in the league, but games are won and lost in the trenches, so they have to be better than what we have, especially on the OL. Our run blocking is maddening.

So your saying Hatcher doesn't impact the game?

He's just like a lot of the other bums on this team. One or two good plays, and disappears the rest of the time. When you're doing that or being injured all the time, you're largely irrelevant.

Injuries happen to every team in the league. It is vital that you draft solid year in and year out to be in a position to cover these injuries.

Injuries happen. It's bad luck, unfortunate, and this team has really been hit hard by them this year. I think the better option would be to build up some depth on this team behind some of those frontline type guys.

I think fans are just frustrated right now. We all knew these 3 were gamble picks given their history. When you gamble, it can either pay off big, or be a bust. Right now it's feeling like a bust, and whether they all turn out paying off big is a big "uh, maybe?"
