Some Fear Jahvid Best's NFL Career is Over

[EmpireWF]

Because of concussions.

Lions running back Jahvid Best last played football on October 16, 2011. Some within the organization reportedly fear that will be the last time he ever plays.

Best has a history of concussions. And while some teams had him completely off the draft board in 2010, the Lions traded back into the bottom of round one to get him. It was a calculated risk, with a definite potential reward.

Best’s most recent concussion ended his season, only six days after he rushed for a career-high 163 yards in the team’s first Monday Night Football appearance since the dawn of the Millen era. And while Best has said he’ll “definitely” be back on the field in 2012, Anwar Richardson of MLive.com (via NFL.com) reports that “many within the organization” are concerned that he may not return, ever.

:kanyesmh:

That would be terrible if it's true..

 

[NAHSTE]

As it should be. He's sustained way too many severe ones to keep playing. Every concussion increases the odds you'll get another.

 

[Villain]

Remember how his arms shot out like he was a mummy?

That was horrible.

Man...I come on to VSN for the first time today and see this thread. Hope it isn't true, but for his health sake (he's already screwed 20 years down the road) maybe it's for the best (seriously...no pun intended). Really sucks too cause he's an exciting player and versatile in our offense.

I don't know who you're playing but I rarely throw to him or anyone for that matter in the flats (unless it's a designed screen). Not to mention if I did, flats are really easy to cover this year. Haters gonna hate though.

I've been saying it since he went out this season. You can't get dinged that many times and expect to keep going.

A shame. He looked like a player. The speed was legit.

Too bad.

Hope he takes some extended time off and we can see him back 100%, as he could have been a good one. But life > football.

 

[Buzzman]

Good thing we have Kevin Smith

 

[KnightNoles]

This is one player I was scared that would end up having a short career because of the concussion he sustained in the picture in a previous post. I can't recall if he had another one just a little while after that. I hope it isn't the case and he is able to play again, but in any case the right decision has to he made

 

[BigHouseUSA]

His family's been saying this since for a few months now. He seems to think he'll be back, but that might just be wishful thinking.

 

[Fappin Raptor]

sucks to say this but we still have smith and leshoure. I would love to see him back but your health should be most important.

 

[Bmore]

I will always remember when he threw up the lemon lime Gatorade.​

Whatever is best for him. If he does play the Lions have to use him sparingly and make him a situtational back.
