Panther's Training Staff

[Munch4455]

I don't know if they could really be the reason but I think it could be a possibility. Panther's get decimated by injuries pretty much every year, and yet there are teams out there who hardly ever have multiple severe injuries in the same season.

Could the issue be that the training staff isn't getting these guys properly stretched out or cooled down after games or practices? Not identifying potential problems if they can?

I dunno but I just refuse to believe the Panther's have the worst luck in the NFL when it comes to injuries. I would imagine there has to be some reason it continues to happen.

yeah this thread exists already

Every year we go through this.

No, it's not on the staff. GB lost Nick Collins, KC lost Jamaal Charles, NY Giants lost half their team, GB was crippled by injuries last year. It's not like we're the only ones dealing with injuries.

JOAT, weve lost like a dozen players already

Reading is hard....

I didn't say just this year. None of those teams are killed by injuries year after year. BTW sorry i'm not going to scour the forum to see if someone has made a thread or a post remotely similar to the one I felt like making.

But I guess trolling is what trolls do so I shouldn't be surprised.

I've never noticed the Panthers having more injuries than other teams. Some years are bad, and a major part of a good team is the luck of no injuries. There is nothing a training staff can do to strengthen a ligament.

Edwards, Gettis, Schwartz, Beason, Davis and ??

serious question

I spent a few minutes trying to do some research on injured reserve trends by teams over the last several years. Unless I didn't use the right keywords, there is really little historical info out there and it is often contradictory.

In any case, in 2010, we put 11 players on IR. The league average was 7.

In 2009, we put 15 on IR, while the average was 12.6.

Keep in mind 2 or 3 years in a row above the average is not statistically significant, so you cannot draw conclusions from a couple of years of data.

If anyone knows where I can find good historical week 16 IR lists it would be appreciated.

Accidents happen its apart of life stop looking for someone to blame to make sense of things

I understand the connection and trying to make sense of it given the non violent nature of the sport.

Not sure if these comments were in response to my post, but if you are in Hurney's shoes, it makes sense to review the data. There are sound statistical methods to determine whether the team is tracking pretty much like every other team, or whether we are an "outlier". Should we fall into the latter category, it is incumbent on the team to try to discover the reasons, be it training staff, playing surface, strength and conditioning, etc.

I guarantee you every team tracks this data for this very reason.

It goes back to 1998 when this fan tried to bring a goat into the stadium...........

Meh, most of those injuries are from shortened offseason. If we had OTA's I believe Beason wouldn't have been injured.
