It is rare. Especially if you're tiny. That's kind of the point.

The point is is that an injury can happen to anyone, anytime, regardless of a size. It'd be an interesting bet if he wanted to say 6 games.

Brandon Minor is pretty well put together and got dinged up last year and missed time. I'd be interesting in seeing some statistics of size vs. injury.

Beanie's injury was a fluke in that occured while pushing off his foot. Pryor's injury may or may not have been the result of contact. But in neither case did size factor in. However, McGuffie's early departure from The Game was a direct result of his getting his small ass nuclear-detonated by two guys 30-40 pounds heavier than him.

Yeah, I'm just trying to get some criteria here. I'm not interested in giving money away on a retarded bet. If he wants to make it interesting, I'm all ears.

Really? I could've sworn the point was that Tater Tot was small and that he's probably at a higher risk of injury because he's playing against guys about double his size. Huh.

Staying healthy for an entire 12 games is extremely rare. Everyone gets dinged up from time to time. Hell, as big as Pryor is, didn't he get hurt last year? His shoulder or something? Henne was a big kid and he got hurt. Sometimes, it's as simple as a toe injury, as was the case with Beanie. I might be interested in your bet, but what are the guidelines for "staying healthy"? Since this is a size issue with you, would the injury have to be a direct result of Tate's lack of muscle? Or is it ANY injury? A broken leg can happen to anyone, regardless of size.

:roll2:

So you know he isn't going to make it and want to start with the semantics of what could possibly be the cause of injury. That's about what I expected.

God I can't wait for the season to start. You guys had yourselves conviced all was well this time last year too. Off season spin aside the fact remains RR has all his offensive eggs firmly in the basket of one scrawny true freshman QB in a system that hasn't ever kept a QB healthy.
Once those eggs get scrambled you have a proven pile of suck and another even more raw true freshman.

Enjoy the hell out of it. I know I will.

So, you're not interested anymore, now that the bet is more fair. How about 6 games, any injury?

[sarcasm on] Well Pat White was able to stay healthy for a full 12 games, and he played against better defenses. I hear McGuffie is farther along as a passer and a runner, anyway.[sarcasm off]

If you think it's unfair because any player is probably going to miss games due to injury just even it out with two parallel bets.
1) You bet Forcier will not miss a game due to injury.
2) You bet Pryor will miss a game due to injury.
