Default Free Agent OLBs and Injuries

What is it about the free agent IMPACT OLBs that the Pats have signed and them, suffering serious injuries.

Colvin - injured during his 1st season with the Pats and was never the same since

Thomas - Broke his arm during his 2nd season with the Pats

Both of these guys were brought in to be IMPACT players and both ended up suffering major injuries.

Vrabel is the only OLB whose been an impact that BB has signed that hasn't been placed on the IR to my knowledge.

Wow. Talk about someone who has no clue. It was opening a discussion for debate on why it seems the "impact" player the Pats sign seems to get hurt. It wasn't a thread OPPOSING the signing of Impact players. But you don't seem bright enough to understand that.

As for you other dumbarse comments I've played sports and understand that injuries are part of the game. As I mentioned, the thread was just for some honest debate, not for people like yourself to make more out of it than what it was.

You clearly are one of the degenerates of the world. You take pride in your ignorance and you wear it as a badge of honor when its anything but. Its not a compliment to be ignored. Its a sign that you bring nothing to the table and aren't worth listening to. Its sad.

Bad luck, I think. AD's injury was just a fluke, just the way he fell, really.

AD's injury is such a bummer b/c he was having such a good year this season, coming off a season where I think his presence went way too underrated by the fanbase. He was more than earning his keep.

Dude, take a nap. You are just angry today. :banned:

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.
