Schefter: Wynn tore Achilles

[VectorPrime]

Dr Chao is really good at what he does.

 

[RobertWeathers]

That was before he was drafted as well.

Plus he turned out to be a nonconformist.

 

[Kontradiction]

Second year in a row we lose our top rookie on a season-ending injury in the preseason.

If you count Cyrus the Virus in 2016, it’s the third in a row that we’ve gotten no production from our top rookie. Sucks for Wynn. Hope he recovers but an Achilles injury at his position is no bueno.

Dr Chao is really good at what he does.

I'm done doubting him. Hes more right than he is wrong.

 

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

In hindsight it was a bad pick.

True, but in hindsight, a lot of the picks I would have made over the years would have made me the worst GM in the history of the NFL.

Are you denying Wynn and Michel have an injury history? Both great players but have injury track records

Nobody here except for you is talking about Michel. So go on moving the goal posts because once again you have no clue what you are talking about.

And, yes, Wynn has no injury history. He had a torn labrum in his final year in college. How this constitutes a "history" is a mystery to anyone who can think logically.

 

[JMC00]

And if the speculation if true that he was moved to RT in camp because Cannon isn't looking good, we just got real thin at OT. .

Wynn wasn't moved to RT because of Cannon looking bad. Cannon had been out of practice a handful of days before Wynn got reps there. It was nothing more than an opportunity to get Wynn reps on the right.

In hindsight it was a bad pick.

Ironically I think he ended up a bad pick for the character concerns and not the medicals. If he was a coachable person he would still be here.

 

[Joey007]

Cannon has been very unreliable in terms of staying healthy.

Relying on his health isn’t always the best bet.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Patriots typically draft a lot of guys with big injury histories from high school and college...this is what happens

It sucks

Wynn had no significant injury history that I am aware of. He played 11 games at Georgia as a true freshman, then started 27 of 28 games in his remaining two years.

 

[Kontradiction]

It’s a good thing this team has Brady. Going back to 2014 they’ve either lost or missed on four of their five first selections. Something like that would set a lot of teams back years. Not this one. That’s what having the GOAT does for you.

 

[Joey007]

Wynn wasn't moved to RT because of Cannon looking bad. Cannon had been out of practice a handful of days before Wynn got reps there. It was nothing more than an opportunity to get Wynn reps on the right.

I think Wynn would’ve been used somewhat like how Solder was used in 2011.

 

[jah]

No more using 1st round picks. Just have the NFL steal it every year, at least we won a Super Bowl after that.

 

[luuked]

Wynn wasn't moved to RT because of Cannon looking bad. Cannon had been out of practice a handful of days before Wynn got reps there. It was nothing more than an opportunity to get Wynn reps on the right.

I think people misunderstand what he meant by Cannon not looking good. I think this is about Cannon not looking good to be healthy in time.

Are you denying Wynn and Michel have an injury history? Both great players but have injury track records

He had a torn labrum last year which is extremely common & a very low risk. He never had a track record.

Sony was a gamble bc he just screams Patriot-Type Player. Probably not the guy I would've chosen but again we thought it was worth it.

 

[Kontradiction]

I'm done doubting him. Hes more right than he is wrong.

Surprised it’s taken people that long to realize that. Kirwan and Miller have him as a weekly spot on their (outstanding) show for good reason.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I think they will be fine but you hate losing first round talent. Need to cross your fingers with a guy like cannon. I just hate that it’s an Achilles injury especially at that position. Ughhhh

Dont let facts stand in the way of a lazy uninformed narrative.

 

[RobertWeathers]

True, but in hindsight, a lot of the picks I would have made over the years would have made me the worst GM in the history of the NFL.

Agree and my intent is not to bash BB the drafter. Every team has hits and misses. When it comes to player acquisition, over his entire 19 year history drafting players and signing UFAs, FAs, waiver wire castoffs and homeless grandmothers, there is no one on the planet who has a better overall track record than BB.

With Easley, he missed on the medical prognosis and he missed on the system/attitude fit. It happens.

For every Shaq Mason, Malcolm Butler, Wise, Hightower, Cannon, etc there is Easley, Brace, Cyrus, etc.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Just once I would like to head into the season with all our important pieces healthy.
