Not trueIt's not like there's anything wrong with his body or his injury prone in a "negative way."
He's taken a beating and kept on ticking outside of a dirty hit by a Carolina d-bag and Spags idiocy in running him out there with a high ankle sprain that wasn't fully healed. Only two issues the dude has had.
Way off base.Fisher will not play scared.He already said the starters will play more next week.He likes to get momentum going into the regular season.Anytime you have an injury that area of the body can get very tender. He just went knee to knee with the defender and it looked like it really shook him up. I don't think it's a serious injury. I just think they are playing things safe. Needless to say Sam won't be in there the final preseason game and I see no reason to play Shaun Hill either.
Last year barely any starters played the 4th preseason game. I wouldn't call that playing scared. I would call that prudent. If guys are needing the work, then play them. Other key starters that are good to go, sit them. That simple. No need to get guys hurt.Way off base.Fisher will not play scared.He already said the starters will play more next week.He likes to get momentum going into the regular season.
It is true.Not true
High ankle and ACL. Those aren't constant soft tissue issues. I think his knee is fine and if it isn't we will have a new QB next year. People like to whine.It is true.
Please list all the various injuries and times he's had to leave a game because he was too hurt to play since he was drafted and became a millionaire.
Agreed. I've said all along that if he misses significant time this year that it's time to reload at QB, but i have a problem with fans and media that label Bradford as this guy who misses a ton of games and is always nursing something, is soft and injury prone. Thats BS lazy thinking that has spread around the league because it's a convenient criticism on top of his average QB play. He's tough as nails, can and HAS taken hit after hit, and has only missed time twice. Shutdown once, and a freak ACL running out of bounds.High ankle and ACL.

His play on the field doesn't warrant putting him in for another preseason game he is ready to go. My only concern is he may get a bit skittish in the pocket now.I don't see that hit on Sam being low or cheap in any way. Looked to me like he tried to avoid the late hit and tried to hold up. Leaving #8 to near his entire weight. Sam probably would have been better off taking a direct hit
I think it's a hyperextension or an it band issue.
Perfect reason to give him a week off.

Yeah but one if but he knows if he goes down again his job is on the could be over. That has to weigh in. He could go into self preservation mode. Not saying he will, because he is a tough dude. There is a difference between someone who is soft and someone who has had injuries. High ankle and ACL injuries don't make you soft. He has to be one of the most bit QBs during the time he has been in the league.Perhaps. But this wasn't a blindside hit.

So you are saying that if someone disagrees with you they are irrational,,f that.I wish it was a bold statement. It's just acceptance at this point. I have high hopes every year for this team and then I'm usually brought quickly back to reality. I had the highest of hopes for Bradford and have backed the choice since day 1. Dude cannot stay healthy and there's no reason to think he's going to suddenly have a 5-7 year run of health and production. I'm very disappointed about that but there's no other rational way to look at it.
Deer-eating peas? Schnykies! You live near Three Mile Island or sumptin'?I wish. I keep getting visited by deer eating peas I planned for green manure in my future back yard. Maybe Bambi will suffice.
lost in all of this is the fact that the offensive line still sucks something fierce. It's an over a decade long problem and I'm sick of it.
