Quote:AN ankle injury??? Julius hurt his ankle on his very first reception in 2011 and missed most of the year, then finally had surgery on the ankle for torn ligaments in 2012 and missed all but 16 snaps of that season too, and has now also missed 5 more games the last two season with more ankle injuries. Are 3 concussions in two seasons more worrisome than like 30 missed games in Julius' 4 seasons...all due to ankle injuries?


Yes, maybe compared straight up. I will ask again though, since we demonstrated that it is not just AN ankle injury but 4 years of chronic ankle injuries including surgery for torn ankle ligaments. Is it more worrisome also factoring in that Cameron should be much cheaper and can be argued to be the better player straight up? That I would not say yes to so bluntly as you did.

I don't think you'll find one poster, coach, or GM who thinks reoccurring concussions are less important than reoccurring ankle injuries. Especially with the emphasis the league has placed on concussions in general, the next one might force him into retirement or worst case possibly brain damage or death.


The studies out now are saying that players who suffer 3 or more concussions are 5 times more likely to suffer another vs a player who hasn't had a concussion before and after the 3rd concussion the risk of brain damage jumps significantly. That's scary dude.
