@eaglesnut sone reason u keep thumbs down my posts?
Well considering u have no idea what your talking about. I never said a word about his college diet? If your gonna act like an asshat at least read correctly. And yes I do have medical knowledge. But I'll let u figure out at what point he changed his diet. Then we can talk. Get your story straight first thoug.He was always pretty injury prone. A lot of guys with an up right running style have that issue.
What was wrong with his diet in college since you seem to have such a handle on his reasons for injury? Or maybe you just blow hot air. I guess we'll find out from your response if you're some kind of a medical idiot-savant or just an idiot.
Foster was a great back but they don't typically have long shelf lives.

It's pretty well known he went vegan, then partially vegan.... But you knew that right? You knew that happened when he was in the nfl. You knew it syncs with injury history. You know that vegan diets can cause nutritional deficiencies. But we're talking about college, and upright running.
yeah, he missed a few games every year but one really, his JR year.
thats why i was surprised he lasted as long as he did.
teams stayed away from a fragile guy who wasnt "solid enough" to be the #1 back but for one year. hardesty stole a lot of his carries.
Once again, never said anything about college. Your putting things In..He was hurt in college also. That's where college gets brought into it. Get it?
I call my medical knowledge medical knowledge too.
Your right..... There's zero clinical research to support vegan diets and injuries.....You don't know what I know and your assumptions are hilarious from my perspective.
Even more hilarious is your lack of research and supporting evidence about Foster's diet and injuries. You made an unverified claim, or likely read it somewhere assumed it to be fact, and carried on. Now you are repeating something that is not based in the facts.

Way to edit that post bud. Changed your whole reply..... We're done here. I'm at workYou don't know what I know and your assumptions are hilarious from my perspective.

Go ahead give us a detailed timeline. Support it with evidence - articles, quotes from foster, his team nutritionists, stats, etc. His trends aren't so different than a lot of other backs with a lot of touches. But you'll have to do a lot of research and learn a lot before you have a clue what you're talking about.

Maybe, he's had his moment in the spotlight?
Yep...if you researched NFL productivity after 350+ carry seasons the yr before I would think only a few players have done as well the following season...he had two heavy load yrs b-t-b...then tapered off, but Achilles, RB with that many miles on him...he's done as a starting caliber player.
Been watching the NFL since the late 1970's/early 1980's and it's amazing just how short their careers are. The elite ones that can do it for a long period really are the exception. I'm wondering if an artificial surface has anything to do with it.
Early 70s for me when I could say I knew all the positions, players, etc....no surface is as forgiving as natural grass, but the new field turf today is light years better than the astroturf type field that Emmitt played most of his career on in DAL, but if you ask him one on one I bet he'd say he liked playing on grass better.
Shorter careers...I think NFL RB careers have always been relatively short since the early days when you look at the overview...Sayers cut short early, Mercury Morris blew out his knee, lot of guys we could name. The special RBs of the era (McCoy, Foster, Peterson, Gore, more recently Bell, Murray)...really the goal is just to get to a 2nd NFL contract because that's where the retirement type money is unless you're a top 15 pick.
