I’d go with character problems. I’ve never really believed that “injury prone” is truly a thing. There needs to be a study on it. There are certainly a small percentage of guys that truly are frail, but just because a guy has a couple injuries, even if they’re major, doesn’t necessarily make him injury prone.

The way “injury prone” gets thrown around you’d think 50 percent of the guys in the league are injury prone. Football’s a tough sport, a lot of times you’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And there’s certainly an art to avoiding unnecessary contact.

The real injury prone guys are the ones with constant muscle problems -pulled hamstrings, hip flexors, stuff like that. Pretty much what we saw out of Ras-I Dowling.

But contact injuries can happen to anyone. Sometimes it’s just bad luck.

Gotta go with Gronk on that one. If Dobson isn’t producing they have options behind him. I already think LaFell and Thompkins will push Dobson at the X as it is.

As for Gronk, if he’s not producing it’s likely because he’s not on the field, and if he’s not on the field the Pats don’t have many options behind him. Yeah, they got by last year with the Hooman, and maybe they sign Dustin Keller and he helps matters, but there’s just no substitute for the best tight end in the game.
