So all teams are having the excessive amount of injuries the 49ers have had in the past 8 or so years?
It varies from team to team but no team is exempt from major injuries. The 49ers had a relatively injury free year when they last went to the SB. It's kind of like that every year. The teams that are the healthiest come playoff time usually have a much better chance. The key thing with injures is the timing and who gets hurt. If the injuries occur early enough in the season and the player has a chance to heal then it's not as bad as one that happens right before the playoffs. Obviously if your QB or key receiver or a top defensive player goes down then the impact is much greater. Unfortunately that's happened to the Niners this year.
There's nothing that you can point to as a cause for the injuries. Blaming the trainers is silly. It's not like the 49er trainers use some completely different methods than other teams. It's just bad luck. I think it may just be the result of years of supplement use and over training. The body can only take so much.
