angel2 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm so tired of everyone calling Malcolm Kelly so injury-prone. He had some serious knee CONCERNS coming out of college. It wiped out his rookie year mostly because rather than have corrective surgery before the season he opted for a procedure that would allow him to play that year. After the season he had corrective surgery and it went extremely well - he's never had another knee issue since. His second year in the league he PLAYED IN ALL 16 GAMES, starting 10. Let me say it again, he did not miss a single game his second year in the league. Last year, he had a hamstring setback - something not all that uncommon for guys who have had knee surgeries before. He did not miss the season due to any hamstring injury. In fact, he probably would have been playing by week 2 or 3 if he had dealt with it properly. He injured it before camp, tried to come back too soon to impress his new coaches and reinjured it but because he had already practiced, the team HAD to essentially either cut him or put him on IR. Had he not come back to practice they could have put him on the PUP list and he would have played most of last year. The REALITY is that Kelly was healthy and capable of playing most of, if not all of last year. It was poor decision-making, influenced by a desire to impress his new coaching staff that kept him off the field, not injury. So all in all, Kelly had a knee injury his rookie year, didn't miss a game his second year, and was healthy/could have played last year if not for a formality in the rulebook concerning PUP list candidates. That's a knee injury that's been addressed and is no longer an issue and a hamstring issue that should have been cleared up by the end of training camp. I get the fact that he hasn't been on the field much, but in all honesty, if Kelly doesn't make the team this year I highly doubt it will be due to any type of injury - it will be because he wasn't good enough and I have a hard time seeing that happen. He was healthy for almost the entirety of last season and yet was not allowed to practice or play with his teammates. He'll be frustrated and motivated this year and I expect him to make the team. That's what he got for catching passes from McNabb out there in Arizona. Hopefully, he stays in house and conditioned himself under the guidelines of the trainers.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 That's what he got for catching passes from McNabb out there in Arizona. I'd pull a hamstring, too, if I had to try and catch a pass thrown at my ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 .He does have great hands but I don't recall him as being deceptively fast or a particularly great route runner. He never seemed to get much separation from the DBs but perhaps that was also a factor in the play calling pre-Shanahan. Kelly seemed to be more of a long-strider who was going to have to rely more upon body positioning to get to the balls. I can't see him as a possession receiver because he's not durable. I hope I'm wrong and he can contribute to the team. I was more going off his Sooner days. He was never looked upon as the quickest, but with those long strides that you mentioned he was deceptively fast ala Jerry Rice. He used to glide past defenders in stride and always end up in the right spot he was meant to be. If he finally gets his pro career up and running and re-captures that form, we could have one heck of a productive weapon on our hands. Hail.

Destructis Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Those of you defending Kelly need to look at his career stats http://www.nfl.com/players/malcolmkelly/profile?id=KEL691432 3 years in the NFL 28 Receptions 365 Yards ZERO Touchdowns Stats aren't everything but they do mean something. Salary wise, this is the only thing I could find. It's two years but it was 2.3 million http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/football/nfl/salaries/player/Malcolm-Kelly Since he was injured in 2010 it makes his stats easy. So it's $82,142 per reception It's $6,300 per yard gain I would do touchdowns, but he doesn't have any. So if we are going by that scale, we need to sign Santana to a huge contract If we go based on receptions, we should pay him 7.6 million for next year alone. If we go based on yards 7.0 million I really like Kelly with all that being said. This is his fourth year and he either needs to produce or go. It's just that simple and I think he knows that.

Jacoby6644 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Per a note on Rotoworld I saw as I was looking for Fantasy Baseball info(for what it is worth): Malcolm Kelly - WR - Redskins Redskins WR Malcolm Kelly "feels good" after dropping 10-15 pounds this offseason. Beat writer John Keim notes that Kelly was the "experienced receiver of the bunch" at Tuesday's workouts, which speaks volumes about the state of the Redskins offense. It's nice to finally see an increased commitment level out of Kelly, but it's likely too little too late for his Redskins career. He's not a darling of the coaching staff.

SpacePenguin Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Those complaining about Malcomb's numbers in 2009 need a reality check. It was basically his rookie year, teamed up with the newly remodeled by Zorn, now even more checkdown happy Jason Campbell. Kelly's skillset just doesn't fit the kind of offense Zorn was running...if you can call it that. A big downfield threat like Kelly will never thrive with a shellshocked QB who can't read a defense and an OL that can't passblock a 4 man rush for more than 2 seconds. I'm not even a fan of the Comb tbh, I think he'll probably get hurt again sadly enough.....but there is no way a WR like Kelly thrives under these circumstances, healthy or not.

styx491 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 We have a ton of young WR's, a ton of young RB's, finally more youth on the offensive line, and one decent QB and one QB who may be a diamond in the rough or may not be anything more than a backup.

The coaching staff is obviously interested in what Kelly could do for this team; otherwise we would have let him go with Thomas last year when he got injured.
