whitesoxfan99 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) He never had any injury concerns in college either. Just a rough sport. Bears are missing their starting QB, RB, WR2, CB1, NT, #1 Pass Rusher, Starting ILB, C, and #3 Pass Rusher. It's just ridiculous. Yep. It is ridiculous. Although, Langford getting hurt was a good thing IMO as it forced them to play Howard who is a much more talented back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Jesus. We can't catch a break with injuries this year. No pun intended. There were a few key players that we couldn't afford to get injured due to developmental reasons and White was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 A part of me refuses to go down the same road mentally as I did with DRose. I know they are totally different people but I still feel like I was burned and I dont want to fall into making the same excuses just to see White continue to get hurt time and time again. I am down for the throw away year again if he doesnt have any other major injuries in the next few years but hell two years in football life is a long time to waste. This just sucks huge balls.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 02:39 PM) White injury prone looking like a wasted pick. Saying he's injury prone is lazy TBH. He overtrained for the combine and caused a stress fracture in his shin. This is an isolated helmet shot to the fibula. Broken bones don't make you injury prone. It's just a violent game. You can chalk them both up to luck in this case. It's not ideal though obviously because he needs as many reps as he can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a similar trend and I dont want to make the same excuses or try to paint a positive outlook/narrative with White as I did with Rose because I refuse to get burned on an unlucky guy again.

I am totally aware that these injuries do not paralyze White for the rest of his life but he isnt a factor to me until he proves that he is a factor that can be counted on. I dont want to here the phrase "well White is coming back next year so thats a plus" because in my rollodex of the Bears org he hasnt been a part of it and will not be until he lasts a season or two at the very least.

And we still don't know if he's any good yet. Plenty of wide receivers have been drafted high in the first round and busted. Not only does he have to prove he can play a full season, but that he will perform at a high level. Just another major question mark in the Bears' future.
