MERGED: Dustin Keller Injury Thread

[Finphreak]

I am concerned about the fact that we didn't get payback last night. Some are going to interpret that to mean that the Dolphins are soft.

Lol. You're joking, right?

Really sucks about Keller. He was gonna be a big weapon for us.

I bet you that thought has crossed Philbin's mind. I wouldn't be surprised to see it in certain scenarios

There are reasons why freak athletes end up on the defensive side of the ball. Most of the time it involves not being able to catch the ball reliably. If they could catch reliably they would be playing WR or TE.

bad things happen to people who celebrate cruel things like that. in the end, these players are human beings, not robots. and lots were celebrating brady's injury here, now we lost a significant player and now you all know that there's a human part of this. never celebrate injury on anyone, sure you can say things like the division just got easier the opponent got easier, but if you need an injury to win then you're not very confident that our team is good enough to beat them at their best.

And what happens to people who believe in silly things like karma? Must be something pretty bad.

 

[TheWalrus]

So yeah.... these posts.

Lets leave the diagnosis to the pros. Sometimes injuries can look worse than they are. Here's hoping for minimal damage and a speedy recovery. Gotta respect a guy who came here to stick it to the jets.

Wow we here at Finheaven are lucky to have someone in the locker room to give us minute to minute news. I mean that is the only way we know the Keller is officially out for the year, right?

Love all the doctors we have on FH..

out for the season? how do you know this? people talk serious crap on here

Not really they have no idea what the injury is he could be out for two days or 2 years.

Eight weeks tops.

A lot of doctors in this thread.

I understand the injury looked bad and he very well could be done for the year but it is pretty comical when you hear somebody say "I saw the injury, that's a torn ACL". It very well could be but can we wait until the MRI is done and we get official word? All of this speculation to the type of injury is premature.

It's like we are fearing the worse to lessen the blow or something.

It could be a dislocated knee cap, it could be a 2nd degree sprain, torn meniscus, severe knee contusion . . it's probably a better chance that its a torn MCL than an ACL . . . all I'm saying is we don't know what the injury is, and speculation is premature at this point.

Look, I'm not going into my memory bank to figure out if I've seen an injury and it not be a torn ligament . . . I can tell by Keller's reaction that he was upset about the whole thing and that leads people to fear the worse and you know he very well could be done for the year . . . but it's not gospel until we get an official word on the injury.

I'll stick to my first post, as soon as I saw it, I knew he was done for the year.

 

[Yessir]

Geez, there's no harm in speculating on what the specific injury is. This is a discussion forum, people are going to speculate.

Whether it's a dislocated kneecap or a Torn ACL/MCL or both, he's done for the year regardless. And that's ultimately what the discussion is about, and it's blow to our offense.

Hate that I was right.

Foul play or not I hope that Texans rook makes it through the season healthy enough because it's gonna be great to see him in the AFC championship game this year launching himself again at a Dolphins TE just to miss him this time and Egnew sprints untouched into the end zone for the go-ahead score. The Dolphins are going to the big dance and the Texans.......go home. Again. Karma is a bitch. Can't wait!

You are delusional. Without Keller we will be hard pressed to even make the playoffs.

I will remember not trying to be positive next time something devastating like this happens. This is a lesson I might even adapt to real life.

Keller is good, but he is not known for carrying teams to the playoffs... his loss won't drastically affect our season...

There are reasons why freak athletes end up on the defensive side of the ball. Most of the time it involves not being able to catch the ball reliably. If they could catch reliably they would be playing WR or TE.

If he's good at both, he has more value at DE than at TE, especially with the firepower Oregon had on offense. Also a bigger money position in the league. It's a silly hypothetical but given his measurables and speed, he'd be hard to cover, especially since he has experience playing offense.
