During 2016-2021, a total of nearly 1,700 games were played, divided almost equally between artificial and natural surfaces; about three-quarters of the artificial surfaces were slit-film. The overall injury rate per game in this period was 1.92.

Whalen's group found that each of the following types of injury -- ankle, hamstring, groin, calf, quadriceps, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial cruciate ligament (MCL), leg/ankle/foot fractures, and Achilles tendon -- were more frequent on artificial surfaces (both slit-film and monofilament) than on natural grass, by 2% to as much as 62%.

For example, rates of ankle injuries were 0.561 per game on artificial turf versus 0.498 on natural grass. The 62% higher rate was seen for MCL injuries, for which per-game rates were 0.089 on artificial surfaces versus 0.055 on grass.

What is the deal with so many groin and hamstring injuries?  These guys not stretching properly or something?  This is crazy.

 

Black cat mascot doesn't help. But we've also had a sketchy training staff and bad luck with injuries for what feels like forever.

But how does Garth Brooks perform on artificial turf?

I think he was built for it.

 

I’m with people on the injuries.I don’t remember this many hamstrings being a thing and there is the groin injury. It begs questioning. And I went on a too cheap to take care of his players rant a couple weeks ago, i agree we need grass.

That's right! when I read your post the grass popped into my mind’s eye. Got me there. I was being a sheep on that one.

 

Still a grass fan though. Just an ignorant one.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By MHS831 · Posted

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.

      LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.

      So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
