However I also think that some don't understand the difference between the usual "nagging" type of injuries that may point to a play being made of glass, and the types of football accidents that sometimes occur.
We'll have to see which side of the fence Amendola falls on over the course of the next couple of seasons. To be honest I'm hoping that he plays in 14+, but I won't lie and say that the worry is not in the back of my head either.
Glass I Dowling was another"overreaction" ...right?

Injury prone is injury prone, whether it's bones, ligaments, tendons or anything else people want to point to.
Which had it happened after 2011 he wouldn't have missed the whole season.
The only difference between Welker tearing his ACL and Amendola dislocating his elbow is Welker did it in the last game of the regular season, Amendola did it in Week 1.
How come no-one talks about how outside of the two freak injuries he has been healthy.
14 games in '09 after being inactive the first two weeks
16 games in '10
Also never missed a game all 4 years of college because of injury.
Dowling on the other hand had been plagued with injuries all the way back to high school.
Sky isn't falling...it just sucks that he can never stay healthy...ever
That isn't true either. It is just negative spin.
You know science exists, right?

Fine. Amendola never gets hurt.

Yes. You don't know that language exists, perhaps?
Dowling went on the IR two years in a row. Call us when Amendola goes on the IR.
Again, Amendola's problems have never been multiple smaller injuries. He's not injury prone that way. He usually plays through any smaller injury like a groin pull. His injury problems have been major injuries (one that almost literally killed him). A groin injury that limited him in practice is not a major injury.
I definitely see what you're saying, and then on the other hand there's the fact that the broken clavicle is an injury that pretty much nobody's ever seen on a football field before. Does that mean that he's particularly injury-prone, or particularly unlucky? I have no idea.
Are you being sarcastic about no one ever seen a broken clavicle on the football field? It is an injury that happens fairly frequently. Not like every week, but there is usually several a year. Last year, Ryan Matthews, Riley Cooper, and Charles Woodson broke their clavicles along with Amendola. Marquise Colston and Jason Campbell broke their clavicles in 2011. Tony Romo broke his in 2010. Chief rookie Sanders Commings broke his in minicamp this year.
