Sean Lee OUT for Packers game

[TTexasTT]

Wait... So we hate Sean Lee now?

At the beginning of the season everyone was loading up on his band wagon calling him the leader this team always needed. lol Now he has reached Miles Austin status.

I don't understand the mentality of bashing players because they get hurt. Most of these guys play each week with pains that would have the rest of us calling in sick to work because we can't move.

Just look at all the former NFL players out there now who are fighting with the league over how the game affected their quality of life after they retired. I don't feel sorry for them from the standpoint that they chose to play a violent game and be paid for it handsomely (in most cases), but it's silly to call players names or question their "manhood" when each week they put themselves into car wrecks and are lucky to emerge still walking.

Reading some of the comments in this thread (and others about injured players) makes me ashamed of some Cowboys fans.

Stephen Jones when commenting about Mo Claiborne............................."you cant make the club in the tube".


So when fans question the toughness of a player, you are ashamed of them, but Steven Jones can call out the players and you dont say jack about it?.........................Double standard much?

So it's okay to hate on Matt Johnson for not staying healthy but it's not okay to hate on Sean Lee? He's been very unlucky when it comes to staying healthy. It also sucks that the defense has been just as bad with Lee in the lineup.

if I am correct we won both games that he was out

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

if I am correct we won both games that he was out

So let's cut Sean lee right ? Cause Sims is better ...?

 

[Fredd]

if I am correct we won both games that he was out

we NEED for that trend to continue this week

 

[JoeyBoy718]

This is disappointing because he's the only star on our defense. By star, I mean top 5 at his position. Ware is no longer a star. Hathcer, this season, I think you can consider a star, but he's also like 32 years old. Sean Lee is a young star in his prime and he can't play more than 10 games a year. That's really disappointing.

These two "China Dolls" sure like watching the games from the hot tub.

Hopefully not together

I want to see

Holloman-Lee-Wilber

before season's end.

Maybe some fans are just tired of all the injuries, but I'm a big fan of Sean Lee. He is the kind of guy who can lead the Boys on a deep playoff run. We just need to get him some help on the D. OK, a lot of help.

Can't rely on players like Lee. How much guaranteed money did we throw at him?

I'll be sure to call him up and tell him how I feel.

 

[Blackspider214]

Shock of the day. Sean Lee is hurt & out.

I feel bad for the guy but geez.

You feel bad for a guy making millions to only show up to work half of the time?

Don't know but it was another wasted draft pick and stupid extension. To extend a guy who can't stay healthy dating back to college? Good job Jerry.

Don't say "everybody"....I can surely say I was warning y'all before the pre-season began. Our fan base is so hungry for winners, leaders, and good players that we "anoint" guys based on hype, potential, and hope. Lee and Carter were two of those players. Along with Johnson, Church, Leary, Claiborne, etc....

 

[Beast_from_East]

Alfred Morris is having wet dreams about running over this defense...................my Grandma with her walker could get 150 against these scrubs.

I remember all that. I remember someone saying Lee was one of the greatest linebackers in the NFL right then. I remember me replying that maybe it was wrong to confer that title on him just yet based on such a small sample size of work. I remember people writing off Murray saying he was a bust. People said a lot of things in the offseason that turned out to be premature.

 

[Bullflop]

If our problem with so many of our starters like Sean Lee being sidelined doesn't clue this team to draft players with a better history of durability, it's probably a hopeless situation. It's becoming an annual curse with no letup.

 

[LatinMind]

huh? you got me there . All I know is that this was a pretty big contract for a non pressure LB that gets hurt a lot. played 7 games a season during the 1st 3 years. Is his average any higher in 2013? He gets 7 mil a year and if he plays in 80% of the games it escalates to 8.5 mil quite a gamble for the next 6 seasons

One Million Dollars Each Game

take away lees IR season. he's missed a total of 6 games in 48 games. Last yr was just something that happened. so basically hes missed 16 games out of 64 in his career. It hurts that hes out. Because the def needs him. But injuries happen in the nfl.

Hes had a toe injury that was jut something that happened out of bad luck. And last week he took a big knee to the head in the freezing cold. Went back out because thats his style oldschool. Took another shot making a tackle and trainers decided to take him out of the game. They shouldnt have let him back on to begin with.

Why are you using 1 yr he missed 10 games to average out him playing 7 games in his first 3? when in his first 2 yrs he missed 3 games. People like to use stats and avg to prove their silly points but u cant get away from this fact. Since Lee has been a Cowboy starter nobody had more tackles or ints even with his injuries.

I think the only two players who may be one of the best at their positions are Dan Bailey and Tyron Smith.

As far as Lee goes, he needs to be on the field more. I know he leaves it all on the line out there, but his durability may be his downfall if this pattern continues.
