I'll keep living in 1999 so long as you keep living in denial. Marlon Mack looked great in his first year back, averaging 3.6 ypc and barely getting any use and showing little burst.
Akers, in his games since his return, averaged 0.6, 3.24, 2.00, 3.69, and 1.62 ypc. That's 72 carries for 175 yards and a whopping 2.43 ypc in those 5 games. It was really worth him rushing back to play, let me tell you. We'll see if he gets any better this year but I have doubts.
You can go back in the annals if you want. D'Onte Foreman, etc etc. The injury remains most damning to RBs and LBs who change directions and use a powerful burst to accelerate again. Very few DEs have had the injury but I'm not going to bet ON it. It's simple fact that while 80%-ish of players come back, nearly none ever have the same burst again and almost all have a reduction in performance. For many, that reduction in performance sees them out of the league in the next year or two.
Keep talking out your ass as if I don't know wtf I'm talking about when it's clear who that actually is.
