Summer of Gronk II incoming.

Yeah and you and I both know there's no way in hell the Giants are picking up that option. He'll be cut and brought back in on a vet minimum deal if he returns at all. The Giants have plenty of ways to clear cap space moving forward but as we've discussed in the past - this is going to be a different looking team in 2013 in many ways.

The back injury kept him out in his final year in college.

Why couldn't Thomas stay on the field?
Mini Thomas Davis situation. Tore the same ACL two years in a row IIRC.
TD came back and played nearly a full season this year (and that was after three consecutive ACL tears in 30 months in the same knee). Missed only the Giants game and end up starting 12 of the 15 games he played in.

Third ACL tear on the same knee.
(two in two years in the pros and the other in college)He's working on making yet another return. Jerry Reese has mentioned bringing him back to play safety instead of corner. If he comes back at all after those injuries.
Was listening to sports talk radio, and a guy brought up a good point about Gronk. Mainly that he has had a serious injury in every year he has been with the Pats, and he also had a serious back injury in college. I think because of the position he plays, and how he plays the game Gronk will not have a long career in the NFL. It would be a real shame if Gronk turns out to be one of those great players who could not stay healthy.

Yesssss
He would have been drafted in the top 10 hadn't be had that injury. The injury did help him get drafted by the Pats and his second contract compensated for getting picked later. The moment he was jumping on stage with that helmet on and his entire family jumping around him like a bunch of mad men, I knew it was gonna be awesome.

Ah.
Steelers need depth at safety, but not so bad that they'd gamble on an oft injured former corner.

At least its just a broken arm and not a torn acl or something like that.

Yeah, doubt any team puts in for him if the Giants cut him. He recently posted on his site that he's working to make a comeback with the Giants after his "contract is up". Technically it isn't up as the Giants have an option to keep him for 6 million. Not happening with that injury as mentioned. If he shows signs of health, they'll sign him cheap and see what he has left.
It sucks. A healthy T2/Prince combo on the outside would have been really damned nice.
I didn't read all of it, but the part I did read can be explained by his point. He makes it sound like he invited her to the Wake game, but 'she' made up an excuse not to go. Everything else he says is all: phone, text or letters.
Not buying it. This is the first season Gronk missed some time. Hernandez is the more injury prone one.

What was the injury in his first year? Can't really remember. Plus last year he just got destroyed by that fucking scumbag Pollard, unfortunatelly that happens to more people...
He seemed to be doing fine when the hip/back injury seemed to go away, lets hope with a long off season he can get healthy. You do have a point, Gronk jumps over people, drags them across the field and carries them on his back for most of the game, not the best way to stay healthy, but he's also a big boy who seems to take care of his body. He probably won't have a Gonzalez like career where he can play like that for 15 years, but still.

Like I said, it is possible to come back from it. Look at Thomas Davis' stat line this season:
15 games played (12 starts), 105 combined tackles (70 solo), 3 passes defensed, 1 INT, 2 FF, 1 FR

I'm not convinced, brother!
It's probably true. FMT values that "undefeated in Super Bowls" title and also loves Kurt Warner
I thought he loved Brenda, not Kurt. My life is a lie.
Not a lot of big names in this game but Aaron Rodger's lil brother is in it:

Nah. I'm sure sucks when his is AIDS is acting up though. LOL and it really does weaken bones...
My bad rookie season he was fine. I don't know it's just worrying to me, but I might be worried for no reason. Plenty of players start out with a few injuries, and then they are fine most of their career.
I'm not sure. The way he plays it just seems like he will be injury prone. Of the two Hernandez is probably the more injury prone player so you are probably right.

Who do you think has a higher celiing, Kaep or Wilson?
Mike Sando(1:39 PM)
I would tend to say Kaepernick based on his physical stature. But I think Wilson is going to get 100 percent of his potential. So, is 100 percent of Wilson greater than whatever percent Kaepernick gets from his potential? Kaepernick will answer that question.

Only you could hate Kurt Warner

Impossible not to.

What the shit? HBO Go doesn't have Hard Knocks. I want some Season 1.
He hasn't.
Not saying he is going to be immune to injuries, but he is certainly the more reliable of the two.
Yeah, I remember ez saying that.
NFL Films owns Hard Knocks. I'm not sure there are even DVDs

Can you attribute the Hernandez high ankle sprain to his reliability, though? I mean, it's not like he sprained his ankle on a plant or something like that, but Edelman just rolled up on his ankle while he was blocking.
I think Hernandez has had a variety of injuries. I would say Edelman out of the three plays the most reckless on the field.

I wish my weak local cable even had HBO go =(
Edit: I read a few weeks back that the company has been in long negotiations with HBO to provide it. I still don't understand how that works, because it's free with HBO subscription. I don't get the difficulty.
Not enough evidence?
I have no idea what this means. Perhaps one of us is drunk?
I thought last year's motto was, "Shit or get off my face?"
:jnc
brentech go home I am drunk
