What’s done is done people. It’s time to just move forward with you have. Like my Dad used to say:

“When life gives you lemons, you make 3-13 seasons”

....or something like that.

Dorsey got hurt because of a Code Red courtesy of Tommy Tubberville. Its not like it just happened, a hit got put out on his knee. I really don’t think you can hold that against him and chalk it up as a “durability” issue. But whatever. He isn’t a Falcon, which means I really don’t care.

You are saying that I can’t hold his injury against him because he didn’t deserve to be injured. I don’t care whether he is at fault for his injury. I am saying that he is injured and his production will likely be affected by his injuries. I’m not sure where you lost me. But you did.

This isnt an injury that happened when he was chasing down a QB or fighting off a block. It happened because somebody tried to injure him. That one injury does make him injury prone. If it had happened while he was just walking to the huddle or doing a drill at practice, that is one thing. Getting hurt (and managing to play through it for half the season, btw) because someone went directly for your knee isnt on the same level. Yeah, you can guess that it might affect his production, but if it were bad enough to turn him into a trainwreck, he wouldnt have gone at #5. He probably went through an unimaginable number of tests leading up to the draft. Something that serious would have most likely been caught.

I never said he was “injury prone.” I SAID he has a past injury that I believe will affect his productivity. Not just this year, rather, in the long-term. Moreover, although he has been the target of some infamous chop and double-team blocks, he explained the injury to his leg happened in the weight room. Look it up if you don’t believe me. The dude had to wear a device designed to stimulate bone growth for 18 hours a day. How did he deal with the injury? He took painkillers before every game. Not just advil, prescription painkillers. Sans the medical device and the painkillers, I doubt he’d have played in every game. How did he deal with the injury? He took painkillers before every game. Not just advil, prescription painkillers. Also, the NFL docs at the combine were concerned enough about their initial tests to send him to the hospital for further testing. So, for you to say that if there was something there, they would have caught it, it just proves you are missing the obvious here. First, they did catch it. They caught it and they made him go for further testing. Second, so what if a team took a chance on him? I agree he has a huge upside. But with a bum leg, I feel like his durability is going to be an issue. It’d be different if his nagging injury problems didn’t have to do with his legs. Why? Because they are his bread and butter. Without his lower body, he is nothing. Look at any one of the draft reports that were put out about him, they all say the same thing I am saying. Finally, let me just reiterate, I am not saying his injury is all is fault. I am saying that his injury is there and I am glad we weren’t the ones to take a chance on him.
