How long ago it feels we were having the Comparisons of best Rookie LB or even best LB.

Between LVE & Darius Leonard of the Colts.

Leonard has led the Colts in tackles every game this season and their Defense is looking very good this year. Granted they’ve only played the likes of Jacksonville, Minnesota & NY Jets.

While every team we played basically fields a Top5 Offense if not Top3.

Do you think LVE will be able to get back into the running for best LB of that Draft Class when he gets healthy again?

His advantage is He is on the field LVE hasnt been and we all are thinking on the back of our minds is he going to stay healthy?

To me the injuries comparisons at the MLB between Lee and LVE are similar. Lee couldn't hold up to the pounding in the middle and I think LVE cant either.Some bodies are strung together better then others.I thought from the announcement LVE to the middle was a dangerous decision.
Maybe you cant think that way I dont know.

LVE hasn’t been good since 2018. Injuries and poor play since. Possible his best was his rookie year.

You mentioned several things that were never said. I'll agree that it was a bit extreme calling those players busts however their abilities as players has placed them in the role player/JAG category, well below expectations considering their draft status.
NOT BUSTS because fans label them as such Cwill is fragging started since he got here..apparently hes their best option as 2 OCs and 3 OLC keep running him out there..you arent bust, and for sure not Playing out of position if many eyes keep putting a player back in that spot..no one owes Cwill a spot and yet hes still there..it odd all that shuffling last week and Cwill stayed put yet fans think hes Tackle hilarious they moved everyione but him.. coaches know chat ton more the us as we reply with raw emotion that typically unfounded..is he dominant PB type, no but hes starter..look around the league at OL/DL/DB the most teams are struggling to field those positions that play at a high level..

these are fan narratives plane and simple..

its like calling Mo C a bust because he was injury prone , i say he was a disappointment but again busts are harsh and mostly unfounded al draft pics will not be PB or HOF teams are made up of more Normal players and depth then frontline stars..take look around we arent alone in disappointing picks and Fas that dont work out..

if there were an easy way and full proof 100% way to draft and bring in players we would have 32 teams all undefeated..period..this is part of the process..

LVE had already proven to have possible injury issues in college. I liked him OK as a prospect, just not in the 1st.

Unfortunately, no, I don't think he'll ever be consistently healthy.

first off LVE cant be labeled a bust if injuries' kept him off the field but when he played he did so very well, Cwill is a starter two separate coaching staff say hes starter thats 3 different OLC as well..odd fans dont get to label players bust but do anyway..

last year Hill was bust and now he a level up from a bust funny how that works..no one gave you car t blanch to label players busts, thats an opinion..

so if those other player send up backups hw are they busts? you think EVERY PLAYER DRAFTED IS SUPPOSED TO END UP INTHE PB AND HOF OR THEY ARE BUSTS?

get that mess out of here
If there were already possible injury issues coming out of college, he can indeed be called a bust because of it. And there were.

ok FAN remember FAN the WORD fan doesnt equate to NFL expert making up terms like BUST as once you hit send it magically gets sent to the nfl with approval ..LMAO it means absolutely NOTHING that YOU or anyone here states that..

OK?!Got it?? sinking in yet? CZ carrys no weight in the NFL all are based and mired in absolute rhetoric and opinion.

Opinions dont actually count as anything passed this link..

come back down to earth your heads bloated thinking you can actually label a layer something and it has any merit..

It should be noted that I mocked Leonard to the Cowboys before the draft and did not want Vander Sloot.

I can only offer the brilliance. I can't make them listen, bros.

Watch next year LVE some how stays healthy near year, in his contract year. Plays like he did his rookie season and well u know the rest of the story.

"Dallas resigns him to a crazy deal. That same year LVE either A: plays like trash like he did the game he played this year or B: He get injured again time after time and is the new Sean Lee."

If healthy all will be good with LVE.
And if my aunt had ...

LVE will never be healthy it seems. Some players, no matter how tough/strong/determined, just can't survive NFL train wreck. I hate that it's true because I agree that he's a beast when healthy, but it's just not meant to be.
