So tired of Dez's injuries

[NorthwestDallas40]

Not saying it's his fault, or that he's not tough, but the best ability is availability. And looks like he'll sit again. Guaranteeing he misses at least a quarter of this season. After all the games missed last year. We spent too much money on a guy who can't stay healthy and our coaches can't consistently figure out a way to get the ball. Frustrating.

He only missed five games in his first six years in the league, he definitely has had a run of bad luck but IMO its way too early to say he can't stay healthy.

How many games do you think are in a season?

 

[Toro9]

With the way he plays he's going to have injuries. That's just what you get with him. The most frustrating part is him not getting the ball when he's healthy.

**** happens. Not like it's an injury that can be avoided via stretching/staying in shape.

Dez played in 75 out of 80 possible games before he signed his second contract. This ain't Miles I keep pulling my hamstring Austin we are talking about.

Outside of last year, missing Romo for 3/4ths of the season, and the first game of the 2016 season, when have we struggled to get Dez the ball?

2012: 92 catches
2013: 93 catches
2014: 88 catches.

Seems like he got the ball plenty of times when we had a good Quarterback throwing him the ball. (2015 reference only)

For someone who loves the game as intensely as he does, I don't understand how he can't find some way to cope with the pain and just play through it. Will they not give him something adequate for the pain? I wouldn't normally endorse strong painkillers, but if it means he'll play (and there's no greater-than-normal risk of re-injury)......

 

[Ranching]

I'm pretty sure he's tired of them too.

Dez should have had 120 catches a season. I can't remember specific examples off the top of my head but I know there were games he was shut out in quarters and halves of games even during those high volume seasons.

Im sure dez is tired of dez's injuries too. It happens.

His pet monkey put a curse on him.

Like every other top WR in the league.

Another crapfest Dez thread complaining about his 2 significant injuries that he could not avoid.

Broken Foot and a Fracture in his knee.

Come on guys really? Give it a rest. I'm sure most on this board would cry if they got a paper cut. Quit talking about him playing through pain.

I agree he's so dumb to keep getting hurt on purpose. What's his deal ya know?

You'd think in that fancy new mothership they would have some sort of "bones to steel" room.. slacking

Who here thinks this thread isn't really about injuries? Which is weird, because it looks like a thread about injuries.

 

[Clove]

Going up against a LB and thinking you're going to succeed is dumb. You get injuries because there's a time to go down and there's a time to fight.

You just nailed it.

OK.

It's just another pile on thread about a polarizing player. So tired of seeing that from this fanbase.
