Wasn’t he a South Carolina guy and big Alshon fan in college? He must have had a great season as a fan, too. I was always a big fan of Alshon in college. Though not a SC guy. I've always been a huge fan of the Allen Robinson/Alshon Jeffery/Dez Bryant kind of guys that have great control of their body and can take it out of the air with pretty good size.

TheRealMcCoy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I wonder how normal it is for a guy to play through it like this. Edit: Probably depends on the degree of the tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad we ended up with the clear cut best of those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ_Eaglesfan Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Glad he will be back by the regular season.... but it is rough that he is gunna miss all of the preseason. Hopefully with all the injuries we won't be looking to rough early in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 BEAST. He should be good to go by next year. We haven't even seen his final form yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellChippy Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I can’t imagine high pointing a pass with a torn rotator cuff. So many crazy individual storylines this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yeah the fact Alshon intentionally played with a torn rotators cuff apparently for the majority of the season? Makes what he did all that more impressive. Now. Grant it a large part of his motivation was driven by his contract situation. However the impact he had on this Offense goes far beyond our SB Ring. Something I'm confident in saying We don't acquire, if he had chosen season ending surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furti Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 What a tough dude. I recall when the coaches were downplaying the injury, seems like it ended up more serious than what we thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles $5$ Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I wanted us to trade for Alshon last year, before the trade deadline. I couldn't believe it when the Bears just let him walked... Imagine if he was a FA right now. Major respect for him to play with a Torn Rotator Cuff. Hopefully this season that he is fully healthy, he can take his game to the next step and become an Elite WR.

BAConrad Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Major props to Howie too for locking Alshon up like he did. I mean, the guy was fantastic for most of the season (esp the 2nd half and postseason). He was never a dominant 10 catch 100 yard/game player, but I remember when for like 8 weeks straight he'd go for 5 catches/80 yds/1TD and at least 1 clutch and ridiculous circus catch every game. Damn impressive without even considering the injury. When he is playing a full season healthy for us in 2018, those morons in NFL Gen/News who were crapping on his deal are going to eat so much crow. 13 million a year for him is looking better and better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Alshon was obviously laser focused on fulfilling his Super Bowl guarantee. No measly rotator cuff tear was going to stop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
