WellDressed Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 This is what happens when you shake your water bottle too hard.
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Just pointing out that they are both fragile As is just about any player in the NFL. Gonzalez has rarely missed a start, but he is more of the exception than the rule.
Poeticlaw Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Scheffler missed 3 games last year. So did our QB
ACor58 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 So if the Bills pick up a player that has never been injured, they won't ever have to worry about that player ever getting injured? And anyone who has been injured in the past, will be injured frequently? Sorry man, but that's just ridiculous logic. You just can't be afraid of injuries in this league, they will happen.... Not what I said. Injuries can happen to just about anyone, they just happen to Trent EVERY year and Scheffler has missed 13% of his pro career due to injury.
Jamie Nails Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 they mentioned steve johnson as possibily being part of the trade. McFatgo...yes Low round picks...yes Stevie J....PLEASE DON'T TRADE him.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 they mentioned steve johnson as possibily being part of the trade. McFatgo...yes Low round picks...yes Stevie J....PLEASE DON'T TRADE him. ohh i hope not, i would rather throw 'Scoe overboard. he has had a chance to show what he can do and has not yet taken advantage of it. i am curious to see what stevie can do if given a shot
Fingon Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 SalsSports confirms that the Bills will be keeping Edwards. This means that Cook was (in all probability) here about Scheffler.
DazedandConfused Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Because they will happen the focus needs to be not in a fruitless attempt to get a player with no history of injury but in avoiding players who are "injury prone" (which I define as a player losing PT to injuries to different parts of his body 3 times in two seasons) and by having a reasonable plan B for when that player gets injured. Thus, I am more interested not simply in how many games Sheffler missed last year, but in how many he has missed in two years and if it was due to differing injuries. The irony for the Bills is that by my definition, Edwards is actually injury prone having missed PT (a game or more) these last two seasons for a wrist ouchee, a concussion, and a joint issue. This may not be a reason to simply cut him lose, but is clearly a reason to emphasize having a credible plan B. We will see if Fitzpatrick is that. As far as particulars for Sheffler, I think the Bills TE problem is that if we are going to rely heavily on a pass catching TE, I have hopes for Fine but he still in his injury plagued rookie season has not shown me enough yet to make me feel comfortable about him as a plan B.
ricojes Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Not what I said. Injuries can happen to just about anyone, they just happen to Trent EVERY year and Scheffler has missed 13% of his pro career due to injury. Yeah, I deleted my post. It just doesn't make sense debating injuries. They can happen to anyone, history of injury or not...
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 my friend said Sirius radio is reporting we just got him
ACor58 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah, I deleted my post. It just doesn't make sense debating injuries. They can happen to anyone, history of injury or not... For our sake let's hope that Trent and Scheffler (if we sign him) can stay healthy for the remainder of their careers.
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 People are calling this rumor BS. Care to be more specific?
Magox Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 People are calling this rumor BS. which people? I'm wondering why this hasn't been posted on any of the other football websites if it is true? If this happened, it should have been reported by now, I would imagine.
ricojes Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 People are calling this rumor BS. Bills SuperBowl?
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I've had NFL 24/7 Sirius on all morning, havent heard a thing about Scheffler becoming a Bill. Just another poster trying to get some attention.

Last year Scheffler missed three games due to a groin injury that was it! Dont forget edwards has been mentioned to have a fatiqued throwing soldier that almost needed surgery at season end!
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 3 games is a lot. he gets injured every year almost

ricojes Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 3 games is a lot. he gets injured every year almost No, he gets injured every other year. this year he'll be fine, another one year contract baby......
