So after reading that.. how can you blame Lerner?
Maybe you'd trouble yourself to read it again.
The bit where he's told by one medic to leave a broken foot to heal by itself. Only for another member of the medical staff to say that was a terrible idea when he came back after the summer.
The left arm not knowing what the right arm is doing springs to mind.
Injuries happen in contact sport. It's a fact of life, and when it occurs all you can do is ensure the players get the best treatment possible. That didn't happen with this lad. Vlaar also made noises about the rehabilitation at the club not being up to snuff and how it contributed to his time out being longer than it should have been.
If you look at the sheer volume of long term injuries we've had over the past five years, it's not unreasonable to ask what -if anything- we could have been done differently to either speed up recovery or not leave a player susceptible to injury in the first place.
Or maybe we have just been really really unfortunate.
