Maybe he's just a top flight researcher. You know everything online is true. Right?

By the same token, everything you read online is false. You know that right? Lee didn't tear his acl. Where are you getting that from? Online? Can't trust that. Have you seen the actual results? Are you able to diagnose?

Sean Lee may have the best instincts that I have seen in a player. He finds the ball quickly, and has an uncanny ability to create turnovers.

That being said, he is also patently unreliable since he cannot stay healthy. It's a shame that someone as incredibly mentally gifted as him can be as physically flawed. The gifts that Lee has mentally cannot be taught. He can influence others to study harder and prepare better, but there are some people out there that are a cut above in terms of being able to see and feel what is happening on the field of play. Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Emmitt Smith, Steve Largent, Ray Lewis, Paul Krause, etc. Lee is on that level. The problem, obviously, is that physically, he's on the level of Sam Bowie.

What a shame. It really sucks when a try hard guy just cannot physically withstand the rigors of the game.

To me, I would put Holloman at MLB. With his ball skills from playing safety in college, he has the skills to play a Tampa 2 style MLB. Without Lee, I really worry about the run defense.

My WebMD is bigger than your WebMD.

Hah, just regurgitating what the UPenn surgeons told me leading up to my ACL repair, I'm sure most anybody who's had the procedure heard the same thing.

JB, is actually in the med biz, I think.

Ok.....? I'm not sure how to take that response. It's cool if you don't want to share. That's fine. I was just curious. Mainly because if you are, I'm more incline to believe you versus the typical medical diagnosis I've encountered on this board

My poor attempt at humor. Yes I am.

He clearly does have issues with his connective tissues, at least in the knees, bio-mechanically, if he has in fact torn both ACL's in non, or limited contact exercises. ACL repairs are at 100% or better strength these days, but as you point out, the risk is in the collateral damage to the rest of the connective tissue that occurs once the ACL let's go.

I doubt he has a defect in his connective tissue but it's possible.

it's rare to blow out both ACL's in non or limited contact situations, there must be some structural challenges.

Maybe for the general public, but I don't think its rare at all for professional athletes, especially football players.

I guess we will be seeing Sean Lee down here in the local area at the Andrews Clinic very soon. I always wanted to get a picture with a real life china doll. It appears as though my dream may become a reality.

Seems like having 2 non-contact / limited contact season-ending ACL injuries to both knees is a lot. There were an average of 60 ACL injuries in all regular and pre-season games and practices over the past few years, I'm not sure how that works out on an individual player basis over the average 3.5 year career. It also doesn't take college injuries like Sean's into account.

Oh, man. That's just cruel, dude. But a tad funny, no? :)

Doubt it all you want. The proof is in print.

Where? I explained exactly what people are saying in here and you are speculating that people want to be right. Your response just shows you are the one trying to divide things vs looking at the real truth. The reality is everyone would rather have the guy on the field, they just realize we invested in an injury guy.

I'm not back pedaling. I don't see what's hard to understand. Who do you think of when you think manliest men in NFL history? You think Dick Butkus and Bronco Nagurski. You think guys who had blood dripping down their face as they body slammed someone on the field. What about modern moments? You think Romo throwing with a obvious broken rib, shedding tacklers, almost going down, then throwing a bomb to Dez to win the game. I'm not questioning Sean Lee's man card in life. If he pulls a Ray Rice I would. But I'm questioning his man card on the field.

I don't think of them as "manliest men". I think of them as great football players. Sorry, but that sounds a bit homoerotic to me. "Wow, he's a manly man." I'm sorry, but I just don't think that way when it comes to football players. There are those I consider "warriors," but "manliest men"??? Ah, no.
