Will Erasmus James ever get an NFL career off the ground?

[Bretsky]

Boy,I hit that one on the head.

You predicted that he's tear his ACL and that would hurt his career ?

[Bretsky]

His speed and quickness are gone.

How do you know? Was he slow in the few plays he had in his comeback?

People are jumping to conclusions.

People are jumping to conclusions on Harrell. There are lots more data points on James, with a mounting pile of solid evidence that he is a bust.

However, it's not yet completely beyond the realm of possibility that he turns it around.

You are right

But a torn ACL following by continued damage is worse than anything JH has endured. Plus, JH is younger.

I wouldn't write James off but he has a long road ahead

Apparently it was the same knee as last year, which doesn't sound good.
Wasn't his hip injury at UW thought to be potentially career-threatening at one time? It really seems to be compounding on him.

Hip on the same side as the knee? What's the possibility that the hip injury is a contributing factor to the knee injuries?

It does make one wonder. Hip "irregularity" or inflexibility causing problems in the knee?

Yup. As much as I don't like the Queens I would like to see this Ex Badger come back and have a decent NFL career. Does not look good for him though

I live in the TC, I've seen tons of analysis on how he is. He's slower than he was at Wisconsin and continued damage to his knees is only going to make him slower. This isn't rocket surgery here.

b, I did predict that he would have serious injury issues and I went round and round with Dane about this. I told him Marcus Spears would be the better of the two.

Dane Setner ? Now there's a flash from the past. Spears has certainly been a heck of a lot better
