    Whether Hunter is tough or not remains to be seen. What's obvious is that we're not using him correctly. Even Munchak and Bilbo Loggians got better production out of him.

    This injury could end up being season-ending, especially if they decide to remove his spleen. And even if he's shaky come week 16/17, is it even worth playing him?

    Couple of things.

    Ruptured (or lacerated spleen) is a serious injury. You don't shake it off. It usually has a delayed on set of symptoms because the bleed can fill the capsule first then tamponade (squeeze shut) the circulation to the organ or others. It has a reasonably high mortality.

    Most likely he'll need surgery to have it removed if it is a true laceration/rupture. Folks live fine without spleens and have relatively few problems. It is like a giant tonsil in the gut. Not a vital organ.

    I didn't watch the game but heard about the hit. Impressed that Hunter came back. I'm sure he didn't want to fuel his well earned reputation of being a puddin' head but he gets a pass on this one from me. Folks die from ruptured spleens trying to be "tough".

    Shut him down for the rest of the year. And let's draft Amari Cooper.

    While I really like Cooper, drafting him first does absolutely nothing to help this ****hole of a team, plus I'm already quite certain Whiz doesn't know how to use him.

    Which makes little sense consider the holes this team has, particularly in the defense where help is needed at all three levels.

    The draft needs to be defense oriented
