I hate to say it, but I think I agree. He was quite possibly the best player I ever saw in a Hawkeye uniform, but this is getting to be too much.

Bob Sanders played the sport at a 100 mph. This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone that his body continues to breakdown.

Exactly. You can have the best car in the world, but if you run it at max RPM eventually it will break down.
Sucks.

By the way...that's a horrible injury.
I think he's finished.

Very dissapointed. Couple things to remember here, though. The reports are not official. Last time ESPN announced a season ending injury for a marquee Colts player during the season, was two years ago w/Dwight Freeney, and he was playing the next week. All reports I've seen say it is a "partially" torn tendon, which creates a whole lot of variable here.
No doubt, the vultures are circling Bob once again... but this is going to be a very complex story. I have a feeling it is a going to be a roller coaster ride w/Bob. Too bad, he was looking fantastic all pre season.
I guess what I am getting at, is I feel this is far from over for The Hitman.

The fact is Bob is just too damned small for as big as he plays. He has been in the league 6+ years and he has missed half of those games to injury. He has played one full seaon out of those, and has only played in half of the games twice. That is not a series of unfortunate coincidences...the guy's body just can't handle the size and strength of the NFL players he keeps trucking.

He got his ring, he got paid. Time to move on while he can still function normally.

Yep, bring him back as a DB coach here at Iowa (wink-wink)

Awesome. There goes one of my starting RB's in my fantasy league. Time to start looking.

I did the math, I figured that Ray Lewis can deliver 20% more force than Bob Sanders while accelrating at the same rate. Since it is within reason to assume that Bob Sanders is capable of delivering as much force as Ray Lewis, Sanders has to slam into his opposition much, much faster than Lewis would.
I think that is why he can never stay healthy. There is only so much the human body is capable of. If he were 230lbs instead of 200 soaking wet, I don't think he has this problem.
