[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 541793, member: 6211"] I think managing a RB's workload is a legitimate issue for discussion on a fan message board, NOMOFO, and it seems stupid to dismiss a topic in one post, then continue piling on a few minutes later. On the same token, you have zero medical proof that there wasn't an issue with Lacy (not to mention zero medical proof to support the premise that the Packers play it "very cautiously with injuries"). Neither of us are doctors and- even if we were- we don't have access to the medical information necessary to develop an informed opinion. Maybe it's time we stop citing information we don't have to support or undermine arguments in this thread. What we[I] can observe[/I] was Lacy's recurring limp over the last few weeks of the season and it doesn't take a doctor to understand this reflects a medical issue. How extensive? -We don't know, except the staff continued to lean on Lacy for 20+ carries each week... I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Lacy's injury was a non-issue but he shouldn't have been limping around? It doesn't advance the discussion if you're going to attack an argument I haven't been making (in rhetoric this is called a [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man']straw man[/URL]). To be clear, I'm simply expressing concern because: (1) Lacy was given too much work toward the end of the season, at a time when he was hobbled by a bad ankle and we had a healthy Starks available to siphon off carries; and (2) going forward, I worry that Lacy won't last his rookie contract if we don't manage his work more intelligently (i.e., use our other assets at RB and/or find a complementary back). I like our assets to last. We'll see what happens. I've said my piece, so I'll **** off now. [/QUOTE]
