Yeah, it's only a total games lost stat. It doesn't say who is injured. Losing a starting QB or O- Lineman for
the season is obviously worse than your 5th Wr.
I dont think this team gets to use injuries as an excuse at this point. This is the nature of the beast in how the FO does business. Availability is not in the priority order in what they are looking for. They draft based on potential and athleticism over prior availability. We are constantly looking for the guy who slid in the draft, or was released by a prior team because of injuries. They believe, repeatedly, that they can fix the injury issue - despite having a notoriously poor medical staff. Sometimes it works. But when you bring in a guy with an injury history, and he gets....injured, you cant really say its bad luck. Its just history repeating itself.
We are sort of like a not so attractive 35 year old lady with a biological clock ticking. We see a guy thats interested, and he just wrapped up his 5th marriage......she thinks she can be the 1. Ultimately she will just be #6. We think we can be the 1 to fix the injury issue.
