Jason Peters tore his Achilles twice in 2012 but played all 16 games in 2013.

It's far more serious for wide receivers and running backs than offensive lineman.

I don't understand why people want to "develop" draftees but continue to say that Rankin "sucks" because of his brief time with the Texans, as if he hasn't "developed" in the time he's been in KC.

Weird.

Weird.

The only question I have is why start Allegretti at LG over Rankin this season then.

The guy has play 5 total games for the Chiefs. He played 5 total games for the Texans.

I mean, I don't think it's fair to say that his nature is to be injured. I DO think he's proven that he's not LT material.

THAT is for certain. He was tried at RT too, but was terrible. I just know when he was in Houston, he was ALWAYS hurt. Nagging injuries. Even if he wasn't listed on the injury report, it was revealed later that he was "hurt" or "couldn't go." That's exactly what's happened to him in KC. Anyway, I suppose we'll see...

He was on the PUP list and wasn't activated until November 10th.

I have no idea if the guy is worth two shits at this point but if he can't beat out Wisniewski, Wylie or Remmers, his future doesn't look too bright.

I get your point, and you're certainly more right around here than I am with most things... Here's why it's not weird to me when talking about THIS guy. He "sucks" to me because I saw how bad he was with the Texans. He also "sucks" to me because he's one of those guys who is never available because he can't stay healthy. He's also sucks to me because he had poor work ethic in Houston and several players flat out called him out on it. That's why I personally think he sucks. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see.

Best LG but only played in 4 games. There in lies, the biggest problem dude has a huge injury problem. No one can develop when they can't play more than 4 or 5 games in a season. This is 3 years in a row. If he could not beat out the scrubs playing all over this OL he has serious troubles.

He ruptured it twice in March and May of 2012. Coming back to play in 2013 isn't all that remarkable considering that's well over a year of rehab time.

He started 5 games at Left Guard in 2019 and started 1 game at Left Tackle in 2020, against the Chargers.

It's contrary to what some people are saying about recovery and performance after an Achilles tear because the guy is still in the league at age 39.

Fisher will be fine.

You’re absolutely wrong about this.
