Gtripp- why am i nuts - give some reasoning instead of just name calling

this was similar news we were hearing last year with these guys. its probably why we're looking at the veteran WR's currently being discussed in other threads.

You aren't nuts. Yet. You are totally overreacting.

I understand that this is the same issue that dogged Kelly last year, but you have to understand media bias: that is, anytime that one of our second year receivers misses a practice, or screws up an assignment, the fact that they have had an injury history is going to be instantly brought to the forefront of the debate, even when it would make otherwise little sense to bring it up.

Seriously, who cares if they miss a mini-camp? It's not like they are predetermined to have an unproductive first four games of the season because of it.

There's cause for concern regarding both Kelly and Thomas, but nothing that occurs in mini camp is going to make them any more or less likely to fail this season.

Actually it is not quite the same problem that Kelly had last year. Currently he is recovering from microfracture surgery, a surgery intended to fix the problem from last year. We're just metaphorically waiting for the glue to dry right now. It could be that his past problems are completely resolved.
