Wearing out players?

Pacersfan46 · 11-22-2003, 07:01 AM

Well, I drafted a RB first overall, and MAN was he great. He was also absolutely healthy .... until .... in his 5th year I had no QB/WR's worth using. So ... I beefed up on the run .. a "little" bit.

That year he broke a couple records. He ran the ball for 506 carries, and for 2,472 yards, and I won the Super Bowl. Heh

Yet, in the 2 years since he has gotten injured around 8 or 9 times, and lost alot of his ratings to these injuries.

0 injuries for 5 years, and a lot of injuries in 2 years.

Is this because I wore him out? Anyone know if it's possible?!

I don't know about "wearing out", but I have observed that players tend to get injured more as they get older.

I could understand that, but he was only 26 years old.

Not exactly where I'd expect old age to set in.

How many good seasons were you expecting? How many runningbacks in the NFL keep churning out good seasons for more than 5 or 6 years anyway? They seem to age quickly, most of the time.
