Losers.

I got a warning for this because it was a "personal attack on the entire board." Naw it was aimed at whoever was celebrating the injury.

For some reason teams like to think that their system or coaches are going to be able to overcome a player's bad tendencies. They think everything will change when he gets in their system. There are some guys that do settle down and become model players but way too many never do. I would take a gamble on an injured player if I had a good team that could afford to let him sit for a full year like we did with Lattimore and Carridine. These guys were good players in college and at that time we had a playoff team that was set at most positions. The risk/reward was worth it even though neither of those guys worked out. Picking injured players when you are trying to build your team is not a good gamble. When the player is both injured and a personality risk you are playing with dynamite.

Well I was one of the people celebrating the injury, and I will just say that I don't take it as a personal attack. People that support/defend Foster, must support/defend his actions. And I think that says a whole lot more about them than it does me!

If you honestly think that this is about the "wasted pick" or anything to do with on the field stuff, I honestly have to say I think you put way too much importance on sports.

Although there are some very good posters, most sports message boards aren't a good advertisement for human evolution.

Yup. I think he is a problemed person and his actions speak louder than anything. Is he guilty in the court of law? No. Is getting kicked out of the most important job interview of your life scream idiocy and anger problems? I think so.

If you believe he lied about all the DV stuff and believe he got what he deserved with the injury I can understand.


But I saw a s**t ton of posts on many pages about posters butthurt that our draft pick didn't pan out. So they're happy he got hurt with a potentially career ending injury. Like those crazy chicks who break up with someone because it don't work out, but then still wishing that person is miserable forever. Pure saltiness.

Something similar happened with Solomon thomas. "Fans" get too caught up in draft picks and this game that they forget that these are real human beings. These are kids that happened to be freak athletes and really good at this game. But they don't hesitate to talk s**t on forums, Twitter, or Instagram and act like these players won't ever see it.

Very true. Some great posters and dudes around here. I'd say the majority are. Unfortunately the negative salty ones are always the loudest.

Wait, he is really injured? Damn. Hope the time away will allow him to put the pieces of his life back together because immediately coming back to football like nothing has changed was not going to help this kid.

The cycle continues. He's going to be on molly Percocets for the injury . GF going to cocktail that with alcohol.

More police drama.

Kicked off the team.

I have no problem laughing at injuries but not career killing ones. Best of luck to him on the recovery. Hopefully he stays out of jail during the rehab.

I could go for a really good rueben sandwich right now.

Didn't know it was that bad

As the #49ers get set to play in today's title game, one of their most high-profile former draft picks just regained feeling in his toes. An update on #Redskins star LB Reuben Foster and his road back.

Phuuuhck. That's good for there to be progress, but sucks the injury happened to begin with.

On the surface of this it sounds like he may not even play again.
