He hasn't had any hint of pain or injury to his knee in two years. That's a long time. Downgrading him for injury concerns at this point is pretty lol and not based on much.

You would.

nath nailed it. Reggie Wayne 1st round pick, Joseph Addai 1st round pick, Dallas Clark 1st round pick, Donald Brown 1st round pick, Anthony Gonzalez 1st round pick... etc. Imagine if the Colts picked some real talent to go with Peyton!

At least once you get to the playoffs, you'll be shooting 63 free throws a game (assuming we have NBA refs)

No, it's based not only on history, but also on Wade's playing style and body type. Much easier to make a living driving to the basket with lebron's body than with wade's. Wade definitely more injury-prone than the two NBAers drafted ahead of him, and there is nothing "lol" about downgrading him accordingly.

Also, injury prone labels are usually dumb since we don't apply them until someone gets hurt. Its terribly results oriented.

I've certainly gotten bored and quit on things before, but I'm probably the most active 2p2 drafter in the early stages of each draft. Maybe EpiPen could be considered as well. I've certainly never signed up and then just not checked back in for a few days. And the times I do sign up and not complete(which hasn't once happened since I promised that it never would again maybe ~9 months ago), I have no problem with people booting me out of the draft ASAP.

Yeah I meant to mention that we're basically going to soul crush any team with Dirk on it, so that's a plus.

I think pairing two 2nd tier NBA guys is a legit strategy that will lock you up a top 10 spot in NBA and then allow you to concentrate on other sports with the rest of your early picks.

Right. I've never heard someone called an injury risk before he's gotten hurt so the label is really stupid. I think skinny undrafted is arguably more of an injury risk than Wade.

Vic is quietly owning the whole draft atm.

I think Wade's injury risk is about the same as D12/LBJ/#4 at this point. His style of play is more a long term concern than one season imo.

He MAKES his team what it is. He MAKES Dallas Clark. He MAKES Reggie Wayne. He MAKES Jeff Saturday. He MADE Tarik Glenn. He MADE the Colts what they have been for the last 12 years. AND HE WILL DO THE SAME ON MY TEAM!

The FoD Saying "If you build it, they will come"...is applicable to Peyton more than any other athlete. (Peyton being the "building"... and actually they dont come, but he transforms them).

Whereas, Labron on the otherhand goes to where it is already built.

Anyone have a list of some players who played with manning but left for another team while they were still in their primes? Off the top of my head, Marshall Faulk is the only one I can think of, and he was actually better without Manning.

Of course the injury-prone label is results-oriented, but that doesn't make it invalid. Likelihood of injury depends on chance, general body type, playing style, and the interaction of playing style with the player's paritcular body. Injury history is the only data point that we have on the fourth of these factors, and in that it is a pretty significant (though by no means completely reliabe) predictor of probability of future injury.

Its not that far off, especially considering his usage should go down a fair bit. He'll have no need to be putting his body at such risk as he won't be carrying an entire offense.

altho his injury risk irl is less because of this, this draft does not factor this in as mjw will have him carrying far more offense than he will be irl
