    he's 5'11 184 pounds

    Pat Shurmur talks very highly of this kid as being blazing fast, hopefully he can stretch the field for us with that surgurically repaired knee.

    He doesn't seem to be that bad and look who was throwing for the Ram's in those years
    mix of bulger, boller, null

    We have Hasselback whose been throwing the ball pretty well and spreading the ball around too, this could be a very good pick up

    I'm afraid Britt may be done as well, and if not incapable of playing, he may very well never be the same. Good news is he is young so it won't be as hard to come back 100% from. But an MCL and ACL tear is definitely career threatening..

    Alshon Jeffrey, Justin Blackmon, or Ryan Broyles anyone?

    Can someone with pretty good medical knowledge explain to me how guys knees just blow out when they are running down the field untouched? It happens at least a dozen times every NFL season. I know some of these guys push the human body to the absolute limit of performance. It's almost like the ligaments just buckle under the stress, but it seems so random sometimes. I remember David Givens. Nobody touched the guy and it's like his knee exploded internally.

    If Kenny is done, which I wont acknowledge for another year probably, can we send him to Oakland for their 2013 1st rounder? Al Davis probably has no clue Kenny Britt got hurt.

    Any of you NFL history buffs know some examples of WR's who have successfully returned from a comparable injury?

    KBritt has definitely given me more than a few ulcers with his health and off-field problems, but it bums me out bigtime to dwell on the possibility that he may never play again or be the same.

    It sure is hard to be a fan of a cursed franchise, at least when it comes to WR's.

    Welker is probably the latest I can remember.

    Seems I heard on the radio that there are degrees of injury of an ACL which makes some easier to return from than others.

    We might end up drafting a WR in the first round of the 2012 draft.Whoever this is will be Jake Locker's future weapon when the transition is made from Matt to Jake at QB.
