JJ Watt our for the year

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

He may want to think about following Gronk’s lead. That’s a lot of bad injuries. Wish him well in his recovery.

Almost asked where did we get the cap room.

Steroids are a helluva drug
(too soon? I actually have mad respect for his game)

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Such a shame as he is such a talent. Hopefully he comes back next year healthy.

 

[ashley]

Wow, what a shocker. Sad to hear, hate to see great players out with injuries.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Why does he get so many injuries? come to think of it, I have never heard Suh ever injured. What does he do differently? Is it his style of play? Too reckless in how he dives into tackles?

 

[Patjew]

Uh hey JJ... that sucks. All the best for a quick recovery.

 

[nabwong]

I hope he comes back but it's weird this year, I've rarely heard his name in the media.

well he has less sacks than Butler this year.

Fresh off JJ Watts 7th season ending injury, the Patriots have traded second round pick for Watt

For me, this feels more like Watt will follow Andrew Luck's example more than than Gronk. With Gronk, he saw the writing on the wall but pulled one Super Bowl winning season out of the proverbial hat before accepting the limitations of his body. Watt is more like Luck in the sense that the frustration will likely lead to him just throwing up his hands and retiring.

Who knows, though. Watt can come back from this injury if he can overcome a mountain of frustration. If he does make a go of it, I suspect we'll see the Texans release him during the offeseason and a team sign him on a one year "prove it" deal. I wouldn't mind the Patriots rolling the dice on him if this scenario comes to pass, as Watt could be great in a rotation where he doesn't get as many reps. But he's done as a regular starter unless you're crazy.

I’m sure genetics plays the largest part here.

I hate to say it but that was my first thought too. You see it with some of these guys who’s bodies start to wear down and fall apart ala Shawne Merriman, David Boston.

we have plenty for his brother

 

[captain stone]

Too bad it wasn't a 4/6-week injury instead of a season-ending one.

 

[pctronics0072]

Really unfortunate. One of the real good guys in the league.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I’m sure genetics plays the largest part here.

I'm guessing with him it's PEDs that are causing him to be more injury prone

 

[pctronics0072]

Or the gronk mindset. Go hard on every play. Leave it all on the field. Leads to more injuries.

 

[archstanton543]

Shouldn't this be labeled "OT"?

Needs to follow TB12 Method.
