INDIANAPOLIS – Jim Maurer, the Cowboys’ longtime head athletic trainer, has received the Fain-Cain Memorial Award from the NFL Physicians Society (NFLPS) recognizing the league’s Outstanding Athletic Trainer of the Year.

Maurer has spent 27 seasons in the Cowboys organization, including the last 21 as its head athletic trainer. He received the award Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine during the NFLPS annual Scientific Meeting and Symposium.

Established in 1998, the award is given to an NFL athletic trainer “who best reflects the virtues of a certified athletic trainer and displays the highest level of professionalism,” according to the NFLPS...

Tyron Smith had back issues all year long and missed games for it. He was replaced by Chaz Green who...ended up on IR with back issues.

Yakuza Rich now that's quite inventive. We sure did have a lot of back issues last year. I almost spit up the mouth full of coke when I looked at your post. Thanks again for the entertainment value your post brought me. Go Cowboys

Industry awards are often rubbish, given out to people or businesses that the award has ties to.

For instance, I worked for a company that was voted 'Best Place to Work For' in Atlanta by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. This despite the place of business having just laid off 300 out of its 800 employees...on Thanksgiving week and being investigated by the FBI for fraud (which they were later found guilty of and paid a stiff fine).

Media writers, particularly sports media writers, love to point out all of the awards they have received when anybody questions the validity of their sources and their stories. But, it's a good ole boy network in hopes of those reporters returning the favor someday. Mitch Albom still wins awards despite the fact that most of the local Detroit writers hate him and he was found, dead to rights, making up a story. But, he's a best selling author and prominently on ESPN so if they continue to glad-hand him, the hope is he'll return that favor.

I don't know if the back injuries and previous hamstring injuries are Mauer's doing or what. But, I tend to think in the training business...results should mean something. And if you're a trainer for a team that continues to have back and hamstring issues it's no longer an unfortunate coincidence...it's a trend. And that's why this award means zilch to me and is likely another award to suck up to certain people so a faction of these people can use this to help their careers.

You really blowing smoke on an excuse that doesn't marry up with the quality medical staff and facility that additionally, the Cowboys possess?

Just define it all with Jerry didn't deserve the Hall and Jason wasn't Coach of the Year.

this was 2011 couldn't find a more recent issue on this phenomena
There were 176 back injuries among 4,450 NFL player injuries in 2011, according to the official weekly report released by the league office. But back injuries and related problems have increased significantly enough over the past several years that medical experts are examining their origins in greater detail.

I don't know how anybody can call our medical and training staff 'quality' given the horrible rash of injuries we've had since Joe Juraczek left the team. We see plenty of teams out there that consistently have less injuries than the Cowboys. I think it's just an assumption that our medical and training staff is 'quality' because one would think that a person with Jerry's passion for the game and money would settle for nothing but the best. But, I personally don't see it. Some people get duped by employees who know how to sweet talk their way into a job and sweet talk their way into thinking that they are the greatest employee that ever existed.

This is a whataboutism. The Cowboys were one of the healthiest teams this year.
