Bob Sanders makes a ton of great tackles…..when he’s healthy

Bob Sanders is a pro-bowl level safety…when he’s healthy

Bob Sanders is a player you can build your franchise around…when he’s healthy

And that my friends is the way Sanders will always be remembered.  A great player that was often hurt.

Of his 6 years in the league, he has only played more than 6 games twice.

Twice???

That doesn’t even constitute half a season.  47 games in 6 seasons.  And now, after only playing 2 games this season, ESPNs Adam Schefter is reporting that he is done for the year with a torn biceps tendon.

Listen, I realize guys want to get as much money they can, while they can.  A few bumps and bruises and a surgery here and there can patch most guys up.  But at what point do you say, “I just can’t go on”.

Tony Dungy seems to be everyone’s mentor these days so maybe he can offer some words of advice for Bob.  And hopefully for Sanders sake,  they include the words, “Hang ‘em up”.
