The Eagles are my most hated team, but I've always liked Westbrook and feel bummed for him that he is always injured :(

I say convert #7 into a RB. He's got the speed. Just have to teach him to tackle

Time to hang em up when your pumpkin gets squashed. One more good one and he'll be drooling into his oatmeal at Happy Hill Home.

Retire brother.. no need to prove anything.
You have the money, just go gracefully before you end up a veggie.

Its sad when RB's hit the wall. But Westbrook appears to be at his. I dont want him to end up being forced into retirement, but at this rate, it could happen.

As an Eagles fan and a Westbrook fan I hope he retires after this year. He's been less than stellar when in the game (having only 5 run calls a game isn't helping) and he's been injured more this year than any other I can remember. He's been an awesome player and from what I know a stand up guy. Hopefully he's able to play in the Super Bowl this year so he can go out with a ring.

Same here.

Career is over. Did you see his face on the bench? that was the face of a man staring into the abyss knowing that what he knew is now left behind and he must find a new future.

 
spacechicken170am 2009-11-16 12:31:24 PM  
I hate the Eagles but i don't hate individual players. I'm a Skins fan and had to watch Chris Samuels career end this year and I'll say the same thing about Westbrook that I said about Samuels. Take the money and run. You are barely 30 years old and have millions of dollars. You have 2 full chapters of your life yet to live. Don't ruin it trying to win the super bowl. In the end it's only a game.

Westbrook and Clinto Portis both need to hang it up after the season is over.

I traded LeSeaon McCoy for a sack of beans in the week leading up to Westbrook's 1st concussion. If I had only known...

Feel bad for the guy, but getting concussions this close together raises all kinds of health risks. If he tries to play again this year, maybe ever, he's a dumbass.

I saw the hit that caused his first concussion and the way he was hit, you knew it was f*cking him up good. The look on his face right after and in the following weeks was NOT a good one. Westbrook needs to retire ASAP because having one concussion is bad enough, but two occurring so closely? No.

 
witchofthedogs [TotalFark] 2009-11-16 12:59:33 PM  
fruitloop: understands.

As someone who has had four concussions, I totally understand that... *blinks*... what was I saying?


/the fourth one was a doozy

 
Five Tails of Fury 2009-11-16 01:00:39 PM  
He'd fit in well with the BC Lions. I think their punch card is just about full; one more quarterback concussion and they get a free CAT scan.

 
you have pee hands 2009-11-16 01:06:16 PM  
I, too, think Westbrook should call it at least a season and possibly a career with two concussions only a month apart.

Godspeed, AA football man.

 
bjbce1 2009-11-16 01:10:35 PM  
I really hope a doctor can talk some sense in to him this time. recovery time from concussions takes longer and longer every time you have one. if you try to come back before you are fully healed, then you run a much greater risk of becoming concussed again. The New Yorker had a pretty intense article about it a couple months ago. Link (new window)

If he goes down one more time they might start throwing batteries.

Good luck Westy.. please retire.

McCoy can't hold your jock and the Eagles will suffer, but don't be a dope.

I think he's a pretty smart guy and was talking serious about the issue before the 2nd ding.

Oh, there are the Eagles fans. I was wondering where they went after the Cowboys beat them in Philly last week.

No it is just that people REALLY need tio come up with some new material besides Santa Claus, Michael Irvin, and batteries.

I'll make you a deal. Let's come to an Eagles/Cowboys truce. I won't bring up batteries and santa claus if you don't bring up drug convictions from the early 90s and drop the "playoff victories in 10 years" argument.

 
Precious Roy's Horse Dividers 2009-11-16 02:45:57 PM  
Fair enough, both are pretty stupid arguments

Wow, that article is brutal. Thanks for sharing.

And yeah, I love Westbrook, but it's time to get out of the game.

Well those incidents really sum up the class of the Philly fan. Should we bring up the countless recent incidences of people getting beat up and spit on for supporting opposing teams at the Linc? Freakin Eagles fans.

The Linc is tame. 700 level of the Vet is where all of the fun happened.

Cowboys fans don't beat anyone up for showing up at their stadium, even Redskins and Eagles fans. Gotta say Philly has the worst fans in that regard, they even beat NYers by a long shot.
