jrockster21 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 LOL...this sucks, but you have to wonder if he'd been training with the team and in better shape, if this would have happened? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4438326 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhouse Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Unlucky....I would agree with your theory if he pulled a muscle, but a broken leg is simply an accident. Missing training camp + missing more time is going to slow down his progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhouse Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 That's unfortunate. I wonder if Crabtree will sign. Not unless the 49ers give in....If he goes into next year's draft, I hope he drops even further than #10 and looses more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what would happen. Crabtree is a complete moron with no leverage. I can't imagine he and his agent actually think he will make more money if he sits out of football for a year. It's not as if he can go back to college and play some more. He will cave. As for Smith... I dunno, I can't feel bad for the guy. Keeping out of camp because he thinks he's worth more money than he is doesn't endear him to me or his team's fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Ouch, during a non-contact drill no less. That's gotta be embarassing for him. On a side note, they talk about it not needing surgery, does anybody know if all these surgeries atheletes gets for simple breaks cause any long-term damage? I've always assumed it was some way to make the healing time shorter for the player/team but wasn't sure how it worked out in the long term.

Keeping out of camp because he thinks he's worth more money than he is doesn't endear him to me or his team's fans. Andre was just looking for fair market value in his deal and he took a lot less money then he was worth in the end. Smith was never the problem in that holdout it was the Brown family offering ridiculously low numbers that were frankly insulting when you take into consideration where he was drafted and the typical slotting system. Bad luck and a tough way to start a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffSchmeff Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The Bengals are such a joke and seem almost cursed. For everyone that complains about the Redskins ownership, you can thank God every day we don't have Mike Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Unlucky....I would agree with your theory if he pulled a muscle, but a broken leg is simply an accident. I love how it's gone from a "small fracture in his left foot that doesn't require surgery", to "a broken leg" in about 4 posts lol ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 By the way...is it possible at all that this foot injury was already in place before he signed and reported to practice...and that he was holding out in order for it to heal up as much as possible?? lol ...

darklight1216 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Oh man, and the Bengals were going to do so well until this happened. So Crabtree is the last one standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockeryfan Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 It won't require surgery, so depending on where the break is, this should not be a problem. Same healing time as other simple breaks. Even if it is in a weight bearing joint on a fat man. ANd no. He was not hiding this injury. A fresh break looks different than one that is weeks old.

What if he broke it over the weekend and realized he'd better sign while he could? Then he just had to come in for some drills then say "My foot!", and collect the loot. I'm not saying that's for sure what happened, but the timing makes you wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 You know Snyder gets bashed a lot, and rightfully so in a lot of areas, but this is one area where he is very successful: he has never had a prolonged hold-out, has he? The longest I can remember is Ramsey, and that was a few days at most... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
