Are you arguing that football players don’t get hurt playing football and that playing more football doesn’t lead to more injury risk?
The fact that we’ve been lucky until this point isn’t the argument you think it is. [Reply]

And most coaches in the league are already trending this way about their attitudes toward the preseason. Eventually it will happen for everyone.
Yeah but given how most teams have looked the first week of the season it's not really a ringing endorsement for sitting out the preseason. It's a pretty sloppy product. We'll get there anyway because we're going to 18 games with 2 preseason games so no one is going to play in the preseason, but it's a wildly overblown argument.
You're basically just making the first two weeks of the actual season the preseason, except guys are now playing full games at full blast with no warm up and practice in a real game situation. I'm not at all convinced that's a better way to avoid injury but if there's data to back that idea up I'd definitely listen to it. [Reply]

We've lost more players to practice than we have preseason games. Should we stop practicing? [Reply]
This will fast track Worthy's development. Get Brown back for the stretch run to get back into rhythm then kill motherfuckers in the playoffs. Then extend him on the cheap because his injury kills his market. [Reply]
