That's fine. I simply disagree.

I'm just being realistic.

I think people are oversestimating the degree of his injury. That he was able to begin jogging in late February means he should be more than fine come August.

If anything you're underestimating the degree of his injury. I jogged two weeks after tearing up my knee, but I wasn't ready for any kind of "vigorous running" till about 2 months later.


Hope if all great and everything, but you can't lose sight of what's realistic. And it's just not realistic that Ellis will ever be near the player he was.

Julian Peterson. Yes, he was younger, but he certainly disproved the notion that an Achilles injury is career-ending or even that it means you'll never "play at the same level." Peterson went on to have his best season every after his injury. You don't know the extent to which Ellis injured his achilles. For all we know it could have been a minor tear.

Ellis was never at Peterson's level. And you pointed out ONE player. What about the dozens that haven't come back from that injury?


Again, it's great to have hope, but don't lose sight of what's realistic.


I hope you're right, but I ain't holding my breath.

Is this the part where you guys get in a giant flame war?

Your "love it or leave it" argument was so convincing that I changed my outlook all together.

Yeah, I am not sure why people think Ellis will finally hit double digit sacks this year.

He has never done it. He is coming off an Achilles tear that Peterson took 2 years, in effect, to recover fully.

He is 32 (?); another year older.

Why should we expect it now?

And if that's not enough....him and Carp might be splitting time....
