Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Guapo" data-source="post: 506235" data-attributes="member: 5830">That jumped out at me too. The phrase that correlation does not equal causation is appropriate here. I fully recognize and am ticked off by all of the injuries. I would be more concerned if we were mostly dealing with muscle pulls and strains. Dislocated fingers, broken bones, knee injuries....that's not on the medical staff just because there is a correlation. They can't be blamed as the cause. Someone wrote the argument that all of our injuries take longer to heal than other teams. I'd like to see real proof of that, not a couple examples. Every injury is different. The media likes to say that this injury is the exact same as so-and-so's, but that means NOTHING. If Mrs. El Guapo and I get hit by the same stick on the arm, my bruise will go away within hours and hers will last for a week. None of us can account for how a player will heal and react to treatment. No doctor can prescribe a cure-all fix. Sure they have regimens that hopefully work for the majority of players with a certain injury, but there are no magic bullets. People calling for the training and medical staff to be fired are frustrated for sure, but have misplaced aggression. As pointed out in the article and noted by 13 Times Champs above, you might be cutting loose the only lifeline holding the ship together.</blockquote>
