Either way he is lucky and in some respects duarable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 He's running out of knee ligaments to injure. It's a different one every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanka Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hopefully this is just an unfortunate string of luck and he can go on to have a lengthy and healthy career. Similar to how Frank Gore was snakebitten for his collegiate career then stayed healthy moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'm taking that as good news in the circumstances. Time to shut him down for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owa Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 So awesome when he is on the field and hate it so much when he gets hurts. Such a likable guy and such a love for the game. Hope he can recover from yet another injury. Have high hopes for him and Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One ACL and a minor meniscus procedure in the other knee is HARDLY something that correlates with being injury prone forever, its 2019, go through the list of NFL RBs who have had the exact same two procedures and ended up being injury prone. He never missed a game in high school or college. How you feeling about it now? He’ll be fine, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 On the local radio Bills show today they gave an update on Guice... John Murphy, the host, kept calling him Derrius Juice... and “Juice may miss the remainder of the season” I got a good laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hopefully he could mirror Frank Gore. Gore had bad luck with injuries early in his career. Came back from multiple knee ailments to have a long fruitful career. The kid is tough, we missed a bullet with this last one, they are just being safe with him I’d imagine. Get well DG.

LetThePointsSoar Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Can we stop with the gloating "I told you so" crowd already? Jeez, this fanbase can literally be the worst at times, but I'm not even sure I'm surprised at it anymore. As others have said, I'm hoping he can have a Frank Gore like career, or a football version of a Grant Hill career. He is so special when he's on the field, can't imagine what he could do with a healthy season and a real head coach behind him. Get well, young man.

GoDeep81 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Should probably cut him loose and see if he can pick up with a team w/o a black cloud hovering.. Couple more years around here and they'll need to amputate a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we should, but not because he sprained his knee. Ok, Lady. Whatever. You don’t get it and, frankly, I’m not surprised. If we keep counting on this guy being healthy and playing, we could be wasting time and end up calling up someone from the practice squad or signing someone off the street. Doesn’t matter how talented, how hard he works or how much of a nice guy he is. AP is a legend but are we gonna go into next season penciling him in as RB-1 again? Or Guice? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I’m a lifelong Skins fan and like many, I’m tired of being mired in futility. And considering we can’t get a franchise QB, we need some serious talent at the skill positions that we can count on consistently to carry the offense. I love Reed but dang, he’s on IR more than he’s on the field too. But if you prefer to be an optimist and hope for sunshine and rainbows, enjoy. At this point of following the team, I’m being realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed that he can be a dominant RB, and with 3 meaningless games left in the season there's simply no reason to take a chance. I'm guessing if they were in the playoff hunt he'd miss a game and then be back on the field for the last 2. Thou doth protest too much, methinks.

His foot was planted and he was hit at an odd angle. I'm not saying his injury history doesn't concern me, just saying that this isn't something I see as an enormous deal since most guys would likely have been injured on that play.

Elite talent... be patient and maximize it while it’s there. Right, so here’s my take - we’ve had issues relying on talented injury prone players, but our issue wasn’t that they were on the team, it was that we relied on them. Sure, we had Davis backing up Reed, but we didn’t try to find another special, starting caliber TE and instead filled out the roster with Logan Paulsen, Sprinkle, or whoever. I’m not trying to knock Sprinkle here, but we could have worked on developing a good pass catching TE at the same time. We never really tried to find a stud to pair with Thompson and instead counted on Bibbs, Marshall and Smallwood. To be fair, draft picks/assets are limited, but we also shouldn’t have considered those positions settled. 1 hour ago, mistertim said: I understand that there are injury concerns with him.

It doesn’t inspire confidence, but yeah, it’s also ‘just’ a sprain that anyone could have sustained... let’s see how things go. I’m excited to see what Love looks like, but I’ll feel better about the position if we draft a guy with some promise. Preferably one that can catch out of the backfield as well as handle a decent load (and provide some juice in case we have to pair them with AP). Surely at least one of Love/Guice will make it to the season and we can develop the newcomer before throwing him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, it would certainly be prudent to acknowledge his recent history and make proactive accommodations for “just in case”, “what if”, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
