Lawson out for year
#21
I recall the national media NFL guys actually criticizing the Bengals,
For not resigning Lawson.
Where are they at now?

I also want to say that I am glad we aren't seeing any sour grapes on either side of the Carl signing argument.  The way i saw it, those of us who didn't want to sign him were universally worried about his injury prone history, whereas, those who were upset we didn't sign him basically dismissed it or ignored it (looking back at the threads on the subject).

So good to see everyone's keeping it classy (seriously) and not throwing food at each other in the cafeteria in regard to I told you so's or whatever, unlike the Chase/Sewell debates that simmers in the background like Limburger being heated for fondue and forgotten overnight on the stove.

Yeah, there was nothing to dislike about Lawson except his injury history. He was due another injury looking at his past, which is why I was happy we let him go instead of signing him to a huge contract and went with Hendrickson. But wish nothing but the best for the guy.

Yes but he had a history that the national media ignored due to ignorance or to produce click bait from bashing on the Bengals.

Too bad for Carl, wish him the best. This is what I was afraid of if we extended him over getting Hendrickson.

also true but being hurt in the past doesnt always lead to it in the future.   Some guys just have no luck

Yeah this really sucks to see, Lawson seems like a good guy and I hate to see him going down for the year. 

Lawson certainly doesn't have any luck at all, but unfortunately each injury just takes a little more from a person and tends to lead to the next injurry being easier to have. Hate to see it for Lawson.

I take it you are including his college years here?

You call it bad luck.  I call it a pattern of susceptibility due to the frequency.

Eifert was random freak things; the only thing that was recurring, was the back, otherwise:

- Arm snapped; freak accident.
- Broken ankle: freak accident.
- Concussion; not a freak accident, but dirty play by the Stoolers.

The back took out half of the '16 season and all but 2 games of the '17 season.

Lawson has had:

- 2 ACL tears
- Torn Achilles
