Seriously, I used to like the guy and really respected him. Where did this cockamamie theory that there's no such thing as injury prone come from? I mean, there's proof right in front of our faces every day that some players are more prone to getting hurt than others. Just pure genetics. What's next, DNA is a hoax?
You know very well I never disputed that. It's funny you quoted him specifically, because you two are attempting similar things in this thread. You bother seem to be more interested in going after me than then my posts. Let me explain:
First, read his last comment. It has nothing to do with Jacksonville, it has nothing to do with Carson Wentz's value. He's attempting to win an argument entirely based on the semantics of something I said. Who are considered veteran franchise QBs, and what exactly constitutes as missing games/playing in games and defining who is healthier than who. What if he wins his argument? It doesn't change my point, a good number of franchise QBs get injured as often as Carson. Doesn't change the OP, if Jacksonville wanted Carson they'd give something up for him, whether what I proposed is preposterous or not seems to be of little concern to what he's going after. I concede his misinterpretation of my comment and let him have the argument. Good for him, and then the thread moves on as if he wasn't even there.
Now look at the points you're making, specifically your last 2. Both are made in absolutism; hyperbole. Firstly, you said....
So you're claiming that all human bodies are the same. No one has weak wrists, weak ankles, heart issues, weak hamstrings.
Wow. Are you sure you want to keep making this claim? Before this, you had my respect, just FYI.
You know I never said anything of the sort. By saying I don't believe people can be expected to get injured, you chose to claim I said everyone is the same. You went from absolute white to absolute black. Hyperbole. But by putting the words in my mouth, you're able to make other people reading this thread take your side, adjust their view of me as more negative. You're 'winning' against me, and it's not longer about the OP. This is specifically pointed out when you mention a loss of respect. Why did it suddenly turn into a personal thing about me? Everyone on this board has made absolutely crazy points, wacko views of the league. You have, I have, everybody has and everyone still likes everyone, But right here, right now, it's important for you to point out that you have respect for me and it's gone in the toilet. I said nothing negative personally to you, and had no desire to go after you on an individual level. I'm only ripping posts you make, not you.
Now this post. Again, complete hyperbole. Of course you could go through every post in this thread and see I never once even INSINUATED one person couldn't be more likely to get injured than another. Bad diet, low protein, lifting weights incorrectly, causing undue damage to the shoulder area. Maybe he runs weird, its bad for his knees, maybe he sleep walks, joints dont heal like other people. I never said one player couldn't be 'more prone' than another, as I said in previous posts, if you can make it all the way into the NFL, you have already proven it's impossible for you to be 'injury-prone.'
Prone 1. likely to or liable to suffer from, do, or experience something, typically something regrettable or unwelcome.
'Likely.' No player in the NFL is likely to get injured. If they were, they wouldn't even have made it to college football. Is Fred Taylor 'more prone' than Emmitt Smith to injury? uncontestedly. Is he injury-prone? No, that's absolutely ridiculous. Even then, I never even hinted I didn't think one person can be injured by something that wont injure another. Why do you keep trying to say I said that?
And yet again, you go after me personally. "I used to like this guy." If I post something that sounds nuts, just say "That's nuts! I'm gettin' outta this thread!" But now repeatedly you've gone out of your way to point out this a personal matter about me behind the keyboard. What in the heck is going on?
