Are you more or less fragile with a shoulder injury than you were before?

The fact that a running back ran for over 1400 yards LAST year has nothing to do with how weak or strong he is THIS year after a sublexed shoulder injury.

More or less is different than saying fragile. Fragile is implying that Portis is weak and gets injuried frequently, or is prone to it. One shoulder injury does not really do that. Like I said before, one injury that is not serve, does not merit a fragile "title". So I guess using this as our basis for reasoning Carson Palmer is very, very, very, very fragile, because he torn his muscles? I doubt any sane person would say he is fragile in the way these people at gaypride are talking about. They are basically saying he is weak after a shoulder sublux, and that is bullshit.

Actually in this case it does. Portis played through a shitload of injury last year, and that is why I mentioned his yards were tough up the middle. That has plenty to do with showing he is not weak. Because usually when people make predictions or statements, they use the past to verify their claims. Portis's past shows he is a tough runner that plays hurt, and goes for hard earned yards. That is why I think he is not fragile, along with the fact the injury really isn't that bad compared to other injuries(ie. Palmer).

Not to be too annoying, but he ran for over 1,500 yards last season.

Actually, I was responding to a comment from hooskins, who originally made the statement about Portis going over 1400 yards.

Incidentally, isn't 1500 yards "over 1400 yards" ??
