Ahmad Bradshaw killing it for indy this year

MarshallOnMontana : 10/20/2014 11:05 am
They've been very careful to limit his workload this season and have been open about the fact that he is on a pitch count off neck surgery and with several foot surgeries in his past, but he is making the absolute most out of limited work

He is on pace for 1,253 yards from scrimmage with 16 touchdowns. Leads the colts in receiving tds with 6, and has been an ace in pass protection. 4.8 yards per carry on the ground, so clearly their best back. Im thrilled to see him land on his feet. Great giant, now a big part of a legitimate contender. Hope for his sake he stays healthy. He has been spotted around the colts facility in a walking boot a couple times this year, he will always be playing through something. Still runs just as angry though

This thread is not meant to call out the front office for moving on. Im just happy to see him have this second act

Kid is a tough dude but lord knows he will be paying the price later in life.
Bradshaw has said that this offseason was the first in three or four

seasons that he did not have foot surgery. He felt great without the foot problems this year.

Some almost seem to be saying that if Bradshaw had stayed with the Giants he would have suffered the same fluke neck injury that he received in Indy that cost him the season. Very logical.

Bradshaw was a two ring back who was a team leader by example as well as a fan favorite. His last season with the Giants was a 1000 yard season with a 4.6 average. The year before does anyone remember the run he made in the playoff game against the Packers that allowed the Hail Mary?

I don't understand why so many here automatically back management in their personnel decisions. This would be a much better team with Bradshaw and Hill on the field. Ravens and Colts have no problems accepting our gifts to them.
How the fuck does somebody..

compare the Bradshaw and Hill situations based on character?

Bradshaw was let go because of persistant injuries that the team thought would limit his effectiveness. We also don't have the luxury to use him the way the Colts have.

But his situation is completely different from Hill's.

I thought even Thomas/area junc would easily realize this. Once again, I've been proven wrong.

You are half right with Bradshaw - extend your thinking and maybe he doesn't suffer the flukey neck injury if still here, but by his own admission he was healthier this offseason than any in recent history.

Any chance that is the case because, you know, he didn't play last year? Can't have it both ways.

Both these decisions just boiled down to TRUST based on signficant track records. The team felt it could not TRUST Bradshaw to stay healthy, and coudn't TRUST Hill to stay out of trouble. In both instances they were well founded in their opinions. It had abolutely NOTHING to do with on field performance for either, and you're only benefitting from hindsight right now since Hill is finally back on the field (for now) and because Bradshaw found an excellent situation in Indy. It has nothing to with choir Boys vs criminals or anything else. Yes, there's a decent chance the team will regret one or both of those decisios, but I guess they forot to consult their Ouija board those "fateful" days.

that turf is bad on knees and causing more non-contact injuries, is it possible that turf is less damaging on his feet/ankles?

How do they use him? What routes or passing concepts is he running to be so highly productive?

Not Really. Didn't barber say he retired because if he didn't TC would run him ino the ground and wreck him, and he didn't want to be a cripple at 50?
