Yep. lol Out of all of this my only real concern is Telesco. I think he has an eye for great players. But without knowing other teams medical grades/tests etc im guessing we get good value on players because other teams may be passing on them for medical reasons. Im not saying that as a fact. But when so many 1st and 2nd rounders are getting hurt what is the trend? What am i missing. Just bad luck? Maybe. But im sort of just questioning our medical staff at this point. Why is the stock so volatile in that area?
At any rate i dont really get scared when we lose a guy. We fight hard with what we got. And there was a time when i made a deal with the devil and that was just to simply be competitive again. I think i gave up a testicle for that. I think this team has fight. Never give up mindset under Lynn. If thats all he ever did for these kids than more power to him. Because we were quitters. We were a 3 quarters team. Underachievers. He gave us some balls. He taught us to win again. To believe we would win. With whatever we have.
Do we make a lot of mistakes? Does he get outcoached by the best in the game? Yes. But hes also a young coach. IMO its kind of hard in this day of football for pocket passers. So much of the new material is RPO and mobility. But he has done an amazing job with our run game and interior run blocking. Most of the aging vet QBs worth a damn have been with their coaches a long time. The Rivers/Lynn thing is still in its infancy. Make no mistake about it. The Rivers resurgence has begun under Lynn.
Going forward i would think about just giving Rivers all fucking day to throw. Just spend a draft on OL. Spackle the crap out of that wall with beasts. Then all the skill player injuries wont matter as much.

Guys like Teo and Chris Watt never missed a game in college. Don't remember Hunter having any injury concerns coming out. Some people are just not made for NFL football. Not really their fault.
Our best play maker on offense was a guy we stole because he was recovering from injury during the pre draft process.

It just has to be more than bad luck. There is something going on. Wether its the players. The training. The medical staff. I dont know. But its such an elephant in the living room sort of thing that it just personally makes me wonder. Is it just bad luck? Maybe. But if it is it feels more like a curse. lol
But like i said if Telesco were a broker building a fund and those assets hes investing in keep getting hammered investors will wonder why. He has made a lot of incredible picks no question. I liked them all for the most part. But the ETF keeps getting hit hard and its usually the blue chips assets hes acquiring. I guess im more concerned with the medical staff than anything. Are they missing things? Im not worried about the team playing. Im only wondering why this happens so often.
I appreciate your suggestion.

It is a violent game. Shit happens. We focus of course on our own, but other teams get decimated as well. Last season niners, falcons D etc are just examples. Right now NE oline is getting hammered. We will fight through this, and hopefully be relatively healthy for a playoff run.

The 1st 2 lines are all you need to know. It's not IF you get hurt. It's WHEN.

Apaprently it is our scouts fault for not seeing this. A lot of bad scouts in the league.
