Only a FS Jimmie Ward-Houston Texans

I've rooted for him since we drafted him. Not his fault he is injury prone. But we need someone to step up that we can trust to be there during game time.

Injuries are the biggest reason the NFL should allow steroids since they allow you to recover faster. You could say the do allow them since their testing is rather weak and most players know how to cycle on and off to avoid being caught. Anyone who thinks humans can get to the size and speed of NFL players without PED's is just fooling himself. The difference between players physiques in the 80's and now is amazing. I doubt that happened naturally.

That's not a good idea imo. Making the human body bigger and stronger won't make it more durable. You're adding more torque and weight on tendons and ligaments that already bend and break with the current mold. Not to mention adding the long term side effects of steroids to CTE down the road. Flexibility and pliability are the best way to avoid injury not adding muscle mass.

Not necessarily. Flexibility without adding strength actually does the opposite. The article below goes on to basically say, you need a balance obviously.

An increase in flexibility without a corresponding increase in strength can result in joint instability.

So do I. He's been ripped by many here lol

Agreed. It hasn't mattered so much until now. Now it's time to rock 'n' roll!

Dude is gonna ball out in a contract year, then leave us for a phat payday, then quickly get injured again, lol.

I'm pulling for him. Hope the team gives him a break and leaves him at FS. It's been a strain on his development switching positions so often. He's been very professional about all that switching and not letting it fracture his relationship with the coaching staffs.

Well the did let him play every down as:
SCB - sucked, injured
RCB - sucked, injured

Maybe a full year at FS, third times a charm, will result in pro bowler, not injured.

Steroids don't make you stronger by themselves. They allow you to work out longer and recover faster. If prescribed by a doctor and used properly they will speed your recovery to some extent. Guys are already using them regularly in the NFL so they won't get bigger than they already are. It's just time to stop being hypocritical and admit that they are being used. Legalize the damn things and take them out of the shadows. Let them get high quality products administered by medical personnel so it will be safer for them in the long run. The league knows they are being used but they choose not to stop it because they know that fans love these big athletic guys.

He's going to be the best Jimmy on the team...
