I love the guy but his toughness has to be in question…… dude falls down all the time before he gets hit and now it’s 3 weeks for a minor injury?
I don't know. Depends. Compared to normal peeps like you and I.... Probably not. :)

In all seriousness...if he's dealing with any ankle related and doing what he does out there, it's a tricky injury. He doesn't have a history of being a wuss so far in the league.

This is borderline trolling. Trying to start a flame war?

The answer is NO. Never missed a game in his first two seasons. And, never in high school or college either.

I used to wonder the same thing but I don’t think he is. I do think his size and skill set make it likely he will miss time most seasons. That’s why I think you have to have the approach to drafting QBs the same way the Pats. Draft, stash and eventually trade for picks as long as Kyler is healthy, and have a backup plan if he’s not.

I think it’s harsh to say “Wuss.” There are no wusses in the NFL.

I think he’s soft and doesn’t like to play when he’s not 100%. Next year when he’s getting paid $40 million, he’s going to be expected to play with some bumps and bruises.

When was the last time you saw a QB get held out FIVE WEEKS with a high ankle sprain. RBs and WRs? Often. Not QBs though.

are you an idiot??


random questions, gotta love'em

a high ankle sprain is not a minor injury, especially for a guy who moves around. If it is not given ample time to heal it can nag a player for months. which of course would cause Kyler to randomly miss games all season long.

the tricky part is that there isnt a set time table...could be three weeks for one guy but take six weeks for the next guy.

This makes it sound like injuries weren't a problem for him last year which is 100 percent false. We failed to make the playoffs mostly because of his injuries last year. This is 2 straight seasons where Kyler's fragility is costing us significantly.

Playing with an injury could be the definition of "not a wuss".


That's the topic of this thread. As to whether it costs us significantly? Yet to be determined this year.

I didn't say he was a wuss. I sure in the hell don't want my Franchise player missing a quarter of the season. do you? That's a significant loss in and of itself.

No I don't. I agree with you so what is the problem exactly?

You quoted and corrected me, so I replied. Now you agree. So...I guess I needed to point out the error of your ways first? lol
Nah. I was just pointing out you were not on the topic. No big deal. He should be playing. But he isn't a wuss. If what Harry's connect is giving out good info.
