Watson "injury prone"?
Jan 31, 2015, 9:16 AM
|

I think Watson has gotten a bad rap about being injury prone.
He has had 2 freakish accidents to the start of his Tiger career.
The broken bone in his hand was just plain unlucky. Same with the collar bone crack.
Collar bone is the most broken bone on the human body.
Everyone that saw the play that hurt his knee against Ga Tech has got to be shaking their head
like me and wondering how that LCL tear happened.
I think DW is gonna be fine from here on out. He has filled his freaky injury quota for his career.
Lord let's hope so. But I think his injuries have very little to do with his durability.

So he could have put on some weight before playing.
But you know, Swag Kelly thing and all.

Watson is not injury prone he just didn't have a lot of time to heal from high school also add in that he did not red shirt to get a chance to grow. Deshaun will be OK he may have a nagging injury here or there but he will be alright.

I believe we have just signed 2 more of that caliber who are on campus now in Kelly and Israel. We will be reloading at QB for a while, if all of them stay, and I hope they do.

Tackle the QB in spring practice and run the QB the first 20 plays vs ga tech.

He had the label before he even got to Clemson. That was his only knock that he was frail.

coot fans who are "stupid-prone" themselves.
They're praying something, anything will derail the Tigers current ascent.

Unless you mean the injurious way he inflicts TDs on the opposition . If that , then yes , Mr.Watson is very much " injury prone ".

Freakish injuries are still injuries

And, no matter how you categorize Watson's injuries, he's had more than his share in his short time here. I'd say, based on his one year of practice and play, that he's actually severely injury prone.

We already beat them with an injured Watson powering it in & juking them on one leg & a torn ACL!!!
No worries there
