Some thoughts on Reggie Bush and next season
all the players you listed at some point had some type of injury, you cant play football and not have some type of injury...I remember Emmit breaking his collar bone vs the Giants, I'm sure Dunn and Payton had there share of time in the ice tub....your lucky when you can have a career as long as Payton and Dunn and not have a career threatening injury, and Welker....well he's still young too, so.....(knock on wood) I wouldnt be to quick to throw his name out there, he just aint ran across the right safety yet...injuries are part of the game.
I was going to go there but didnt.
It kills me to think that people dont get the fact that injuries, as much as we hate them, are a part of the game you can't controll.
Just look at last years team.
Colston, Grant, Young,
McKenzie; gets injured trying to recover a fumble.
Bress (gets injured in the pro bowl of 2006).
Jerry Rice Gets Face masked by Warren Sapp and tears up his knee.
Deuce tears his ACL jumping for a pass.
Rod Woodson tears his ACL w/o even touching Barry Sanders.
Emmit Plays with a seerated shoulder.
Young and Aikman careers shortened by concussions.
No matter what position you play, how big are small you are, it can happen.
Period.
If posters hear dont recognize (or know) that, matybe someday they'll understand.
Let me just say, Meily hit the nail on the head, with the word "Lucky."
Not only are we watching some of the best athletes, but you have to be extremely lucky to make it through an NFL career in good health.
Because injuries can happen at practice, pre-season, or regular season games.
Its no coincidence that the average NFL career is about 4 years.
How about looking up LeCharles Bentley.
He was known for issuing out the pounding (j/k).
