Patriots Injury News Thornton injury update

[*ChungFu*]

Of this I'm certain; that Thornton is a baller, some here expected a high-five from a cheerleader would kill him, and we really don't know if he is indeed injured. Carry on.

Garrett Wilson, pick 10 - 183 pounds. Chris Olave, pick 11 - 187 pounds. Jahan Dotson, pick 16 - 178 pounds. Tyquan Thornton, pick 50 - 181 pounds.

Good luck to them

Its really not just weight, its height to weight ratio or bmi and how muscle is distributed
He is built like Todd Pinkston

It’s preseason. Granted some posters are already in mid season whiner mode.

I’ve really been kinda off the grid the last several months. Still hyped for the season, but I’m noticing I’m not as locked in throughout as I used to be. Not very familiar with some of the bottom of our roster like I once was.

The only other active WR I know of with a lower (and it's ever so slightly) BMI is DeVonta Smith who just started practicing again a few days ago due to a groin injury.

 

[TomPatriot]

Yep, and he needs to have his drafting duties revoked, as of, like, yesterday.

Why? He magically seems to have drafted better in 2020-22 over the prior three years.

 

[Bill Lee]

News flash: most draft picks aren't good. One good player per year is typical, some teams don't even do that well.

And so only about 8% of draft picks are players that really make much of a difference beyond replacement value, and only about 30% see much playing time or make a significant contribution to the team.

That means among the 260 or so drafted players each year, only about 2-3 will have Hall of Fame caliber careers, and only about 21 will be undisputedly good picks- and very good but not HoF caliber players.

Overall, only about two dozen players every draft will go on to have significant careers performing at a high level. That’s not a lot - less than one genuinely good player per team each year.

Oh...F&*k me....

Can't we get a goddamn break?

 

[Pats2000]

Agreed. People were pooh-poohing his lack of muscle mass...turns out our worst fears were confirmed.

Collar bones take very little force to break whether you are a big dude or small dude. Just unlucky. He will be fine

 

[mikey m]

He's definitely not a weak dude. Pound for pound, pretty strong. There is still something to the point that more muscle and even some fat helps to provide some protection to bones and joints from impact. Although with this collarbone injury I really don't think that had much to do with it. Bad luck, the class clowns here need to chill out. They won't though. They've had to bite their tongues during on all the positive camp reports on TT and now they’ve finally got their chance to let out all the *****ing and moaning.

 

[Deus Irae]

We all know that the kid needs to add some bulk. We also all know that a collarbone injury isn't likely to be because of muscle mass. Wish the kid a quick return to full health, and move on to the next issue.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Giardi: Source says Thornton is expected to miss "around 8 weeks" but also cautioned that everyone heals at their own rate.

Agree but regardless of the injury, hes a physically smaller guy. He needs to avoid the gang-tackling situations when 1000lbs of humanity is landing on him.

No reason has can't have a 15 year career but he needs to be smart.

Unfortunate if true. Really had hopes he'd come out guns blazing week 1.

 

[Triumph]

Incorrect.

Nope

Wrong 6

Nope

Wrong 6

Then you should be able to show some examples. Of course you can’t. So you will just bluster and continue to be the class clown.

Can't we get a goddamn break?

They did - in TT's collarbone.

The 2001 NE WRs hit the dirt post reception rather than expose themselves to injury.

Smart football.

Here is something so you can learn about the 2001 Patriots.
