For a couple years now, I have adopted the position that the unusual high number of injuries that the Packers suffer from every year strongly suggest that either the medical or training staff are doing something wrong. We have been way out in front of injureis in the leage for about four out of five years now. One or maybe two years could just be coincidence, but any more than that and I refuse to think it is just coincidence. This is bolstered by the fact that the one year we did not suffer an unusually high number of injuries was 2011, the year of the lockout which allowed for only an abbreviated training camp.
Detractors say that ACL tears have nothing to do with either training or medical oversight. Eg this tweet from Jason Wilde:

I get injury frustration from #Packers fans, but I'm not sure how you blame medical/training staff for @abbrecadabra and @Barclay_64's ACLs.
That's not my understanding, but I do not know enough about it to refute the notion as competently as I would like. So I am starting this poll. Look forward to hearing from everything on this, and hopefully we can all have a better understainding as to why this keeps happening to our team.
GO PACK!
