RapSheet says Nelson Diagnosis is torn ACL

[Pugger]

It is possible, there are a lot of things that could have contributed. The extra ketchup he put on his hamburger before the game might also have contributed.

My view is since the amount of pressure exerted in that particular play was enough to tear his ACL, it was going to tear no matter what.

You're prob right. Could wearing a knee brace - not the kind like O linemen wear - help prevent these types of injuries?

Maybe, but there is some evidence suggesting that braces are not very effective and can even increase the chances of certain types of injuries. It is a difficult area to really get good data.

At best, prophylactic knee braces offer limited resistance to lateral knee impact and provide little meaningful rotational stress protection. At worst, they may generate increased forces that augment associated injuries to the medial knee.

What can't be replaced is the chemistry that Rodgers has with Nelson. That chemistry is so important in the type of fast offense the Packers run. Where we'll notice a drop off is the success rate of the crucial, must have type plays (3rd down conversions, etc.) that Rodgers would go to Nelson with. Over the course of a season these plays add up and are the difference in 3 or 4 wins (or losses). That could take an 11 win team down to 8 wins.

The Packers struggles all lead back to the Nelson injury. Other than Rodgers, the one guy this team could not afford to lose is Jordy. If Jordy is playing, the Packers win the Lions and Bears games, and are now sitting at 9-2. Go back and re-read this thread to see discussion on how losing Jordy was potentially devastating. Often, we don't realize what we have until it's gone. I just hope Jordy is able to come back next year as the same player he was before the injury.

I was thinking the Packer's season is turning into a long commercial for why Jordy should get a raise.

Dammit, agreeing with red. First my gf starts sounding like him in the game thread, now this!

They can just transfer some of Cobb's salary. It's looking like Jordy basically doubled Cobb's payday, so maybe 2 mil per year would seem fair.

Jordy on the field makes everyone better.

Jordy on the field makes everyone better.

Years ago, I did a WR analysis on this forum, and the days showed that Jody just being on the field better the offense andirons yards per play.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but my prognosticating looks good this year.
