Is it too early to call Conner injury prone?

[Oh wow]

Do we have to draft another RB early next year?

[Buzz]

Might want to see how Snell turns out before we think about drafting another RB early.

[whatever]

It's not too early.
Just like it's not too early to call someone a bust.
Until they prove otherwise, they are what they are.

We called Shazier injury prone

agreed on this

[D Rock]

MCL in college (2015)
MCL again rookie year (2017)
Lower leg contusion (201
Knee and shoulder injuries (2019)

Major injuries in 4 of the last 5 years leading to multiple missed games. Yes, he is injury prone.

I think we probably need to draft a RB because I don't think it's worth keeping Conner after next season.

[Ghost]

No. It’s not to early.

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

I am not as interested in what we call him as I am in wondering what the long-term effects are. Will he come back and run as hard? Will he be as fast? Will he be gun-shy? So many after affects of an injury, it isn't always just about healing up.

[SidSmythe]

Based on what I've seen there's no way I give him a top tier RB contract.

Ya think????

[SteelBucks]

I’m ready to say all RBs are injury prone. Keep drafting them...

[whatever]

I don't believe he'll ask for one.

[hawaiiansteel]

I don't believe he'll ask for one.

I don't either...

Conner's injury history would certainly make for a terrible high dollar signing. Luckily, as has been stated.. i believe he realizes that and will sign for a very reasonable deal. The FO made drafting high character guys a priority in recent years...and i think that allows us to extend Conner whereas other RBs with unrealistic expectations would have left for bigger deals with inferior organizations.
