It’s one thing if it’s a freak occurrence.
But 2 years in a row , after signing him coming off an injury cmon man.
Brad was so lucky game 17 he didn’t lose Laporta for the playoffs.
Eventually luck runs out…need to tighten up ship and be smart with our talent.
Save them athletes from themselves.
OF COURSE THEY WANT TO BE OUT THERE AND PLAY WITH THEIR HOMIES.
Tell them, no. Wait. Rest. Be ready for the long run
Gotta play the long game sometimes
What does that have to do with Brad? The Lions were lucky, but it had nothing to do with Brad’s decision-making.
Also, why don’t you have the same concerns about injury when it comes to our WR corps?
Oh Brad didn’t have say in what happens with the roster in a meaningless week 18 game?
Injury to our WR… who has health concerns there? I woulda sat St Brown & Jamo week 18 as well.
Don’t put that spell on the WR unit just because you want to draft a WR round 1 every year like Millen
I want to draft talent. It’s not my fault WR has been amongst the best draftable talent the past 2 years (the year before I wanted Hutch, the year before that I wanted Sewell, you’re just remembering the recent stuff… and WR wasn’t the ONLY position I wanted to draft).
Sitting Jamo and ARSB isn’t a decision you can put on Brad, that one’s on Dan.
I just don’t understand your barrage of posts over the past half hour. Moseley getting hurt has nothing to do with Brad. We brought him back for cheap, low-risk, (hopefully) high-reward. It didn’t work out. Happens every single year to every GM. That’s football. No team has starter-level depth at every position, it’s impossible.
And I still think it’s odd you seem to care about it at every position except WR.
But surely losing our #5/6 CB isn’t gonna leave us with Vildor starting? Brad DID address our depth. Heavily. I don’t know what more he could have done, unless you just want him to sign as many DB as humanly possible. But doing that will hurt somewhere else.
Put Moseley on PUP , so that we can have him around Thanksgiving time when we need veteran depth for our SuperBowl run.
Last year it was the bottom of the roster guys that cost us a trip to the big game.
Chase Lucas
Josh Reynolds
Doink Vildor
etc.
Oh well, it’s done and over with now.
We will still have Moseley come playoff time I hope…this time with 2 repaired ACLs and now a torn pec semi-recovered
Well he’ll….after 30 years of not winning a division title and just 1 playoff win in, what, 67 years to even get to the NFC Championship was a helluva accomplishment
Sure in hindsight that would have been nice. But we’re just guessing that he wasn’t healthy enough to be out there, and frankly if the Lions brass thought he was - given how conservative they tend to be with injuries - I think we’re probably wrong. It’s not like he re-injured his knee, this was a completely new, different injury. Just bad luck. Just as easily could have happened to Arnold or Davis.
It’s not hindsight though. It was the smart thing to do last year
This year we got a 2nd chance and blew it again.
You keep wanting other guys to get hurt like our WR and our rookie CBs…why?
I’m talking about an injury riddled veteran here that we should’ve been smart with and we werent.
What? You really think I want that to happen? 
I’m presenting hypotheticals here. Because to me they are every bit as likely as what happened to Moseley. It was just. bad. luck. Nothing about Moseley’s injury history caused this injury. And our professional medical staff - who knows a lot more about whether he should be playing or not than we do - cleared him. It wasn’t any more of a risk than anyone else. It’s football, sometimes shit happens. Much rather it happen to our #5/6 CB than any of our staring OL.
Ok, well we will agree to disagree here. I am on the opposite end here on this discussion.
I’m over it, it took a barrage of posts to get me through the PTSD of the NFCCG watching our Super Bowl dreams doink away.
Have a great day broski’s
This year we blew it?? But this year hasn’t even happened yet… 
After 30 years of being a virgin we had the chance to kiss the Victoria Secret Super Model…
but instead…
…well you know
Ha, no worries man, I get it. Honestly it kinda felt like a PTSD barrage, and I certainly understand that. But I really think that while this certainly isn’t good news, it’s not as bad as you think it is either.
I’m still confused as to how did they blow it this year….the season hasn’t even started yet
And still kissed A LOT MORE than what they have since 1993
I think he means we blew it with Moseley. JMan has hypothesized that Eman may have overtrained his upper body as a consequence of the leg injuries, and that a more cautious approach to getting him back on the field may have mitigated the risk of other non-ACL injuries.
I’m not a medical expert, I don’t know if the hypothesis is right or not, but I think it’s worth considering.
For gamblers, though, this is certainly one of the risks. This time the price wasn’t dear – a small contract for a guy who wasn’t projected to start. Any production from him would have been considered a bonus at the time of signing. Of course, it stings a bit more considering we’d all started penciling him in as a great depth piece.
Brad’s approach is not for the risk-averse.
Thank you for your understanding brother.
Personal Experience of mine: (long story short)
Blew out my Shoulder…
overused my other arm so blew out my OTHER SHoulder the next season…
Trying to rush back for spring ball I had a sprained ankle due to trying to “make up for lost time” training.
Then came the left knee injury since all might weight was on my left knee hobbling around on crutches.
That’s when my hypothesis about overcompensating became a reality.
Similar to a car if it is out of alignment…other parts will soon follow and break.
