This is most definitely a PR stunt Probably because they don’t want to and/or have avenues to make decent money in their leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Do you guys think size actually helps players get injured less? I wonder if anyone has done a study on this. I think it might be an example of risk compensation/moral hazard where bigger players might take more risks because of their size and end up getting beat up from it ala Big Ben or Cam Newton. In basketball I think it is generally accepted that being a giant is definitely a bad thing for health purposes. But we are talking over 7 feet tall, and no NFL players get that big.

When a prius crashes into a F250, who's more likely to walk away from that in one piece? I mean obviously there comes a point where additional mass does lead to more injuries in non contact but a certain degree of muscle does help improve stability and prevent injuries in turn.

Matts4313 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Its such a weird scenario. Clowney has no agent. The Texans have no GM. So are he and Bob just going to get a beer and hash out the details? Who is even doing the negotiating? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyX Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 These two Mensa candidates combined to have Clowney get a 15 yard penalty on the sidelines in street clothes last year. B O B let him on the sidelines Clowney was yelling at Titans on the field 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts4313 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Apparently he wants to go to the Eagles or Seahawks. I wonder what trade compensation looks like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely be willing to give the Texans a 2nd + additional assets involving players and later picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
