Glass Joe is a nice guy, great player, but Houston should have dealt him yrs ago while his stock was still high.

Last year he was voted #11 by the players (his peers) in the league. While he wasn't the impact player he was pre knee injury, he was still throwing QB's all over the field. Lead the league in QB hits this year.

This likely end his value as an elite player though. 3 of 4 years with season ending injuries.

Stupid Houston coaches were playing him way too much. Should've been limited to 50-60% of snaps.

Did they have a choice after they shipped Clowney out of town? They spent a lot of chips going all in this year...

Gotta play your best players to win. Wasn't a bad looking play either, just normal tackle. Guy needs to retire.

You guys don't mean to be funny, but you are.

Simple math. The more a player plays, the more chance of injury. Really, guys, not complicated.

You're looking at this from a completely wrong angle. Playing Watt 95% of D snaps increased his chance of injury prolly around 300%.

Yes, they spent a lot of chips. And then stupidly overplayed one of their primary chips. Pretty much ensuring he would go down w/ injury.

So he should ride the bench and probably lose games and still takes a chance on him being hurt. Injuries can occur anytime like the 3rd play of the game like cooper a couple weeks ago or late in the game when you are trying to squeek out a win like the texans. If he sat watt and lost those fans would be asking why.

So, you don't understand injuries!!!!

OK, let me try again. The more you play, the better the chance of getting injured. And if you play a ton of snaps in a game or during the course of the season, you play tired, and your chances of getting injured go up again.

Really, Charr, this isn't rocket science. Tired players get hurt more easily.

And the choice is, do you want Watt to play 60% of snaps w/ an 80% chance of avoiding injury, or do you want him to play 95% w/ a 10% chance of avoiding injury?

This is common sense stuff.

so then don't play anyone cause they could get hurt. Injuries happen at anytime not just because he played more than whatever magical number is in your head. The choice is are you trying to win a game or not. Maybe you keep your best player on the sideline in a close game, but that's rarely the case. in a blowout or big lead that makes sense but not when the game is on the line. Dlaw plays almost 80% now, if Marinelli was to sit him in a close game and lose you say it was cool cause he could have gotten hurt on 1 more snap?
