The only case against Reuben Foster

[overseascardfan]

I'd have thought this would be front page NFLN or ESPN news.

Is Sportsnaut a reputable source?

Not sure how reputable SB Nation is but its a different source than Sportsnaut. I find it amazing that despite medical concerns, he is still a Top 15 guy even without any post season workouts. He was out at the Combine and didn't participate at ALA pro day.

I just ran across a post that commented on the surgery but also said he'd be ready to roll by training camp.

True report is that he should be fine by training camp.

Such an issue that they invited him back.

Still concerning that a guy that needs to hit so much and use that shoulder is having so much trouble with it before his career has even begun.

For those on the "win now" bandwagon when it comes to drafting him, I'd be very concerned this guy rides the pine as this thing heals - especially when he misses OTAs and such and our coaching staff doesn't give him the opportunity to play, like they have with our last two picks.

medical questions

mental questions

character questions


It must be hard constantly defending him like a pretty girls ugly friend "no shes not fat! she has a great personality guys!"

Chopper this guy is a fantastic player, but to act there isn't concern is bias.

If I'm not going my preferred route (Mahomes...I know there is risk there too), then I still don't know if I would take Foster. I think if you aren't going QB, then go with a player that should be an impact player day one. Foster's issues scare me.

Agreed. I want Mahomes/Watson/Trubisky but if they're not there or we're just not going to take a QB first, Foster was one of my next favorite choices... now I'm not touching him and would want whatever's left of Lattimore, the top two safeties, top two WRs, or Reddick.

I saw that his agent was pushing that version. Hopefully that is accurate.

I heard Foster failed his drug test at the combine. The sample was diluted which means he drank a ton of water and that typically is done to beat the test so now they call diluted samples as a failure.

Foster said he drank that much water because he was filling ill (Cold or Flu or ...).

What strike number is this, I've lost count.

I hope you are tired of being an arrogant a-hole. It would definitely make the board more enjoyable. SMH

I asked in another thread and got no reply. On the field, how does Foster compare to McClain. McClain looked like a sure-fire star when he was coming out of Alabama too but he is nothing more than an average NFL starter now. What separates them? They were similarly productive in the same college system.

This is an honest question--I watched a lot more college football back then as opposed to now and I was sure McClain was going to be a great one.

Foster is an Alabama system ILB. Good player on a great team.
