Do we have a trainer problem?

I've been a White Sox fan forever. One thing that White Sox fans can generally hang their hats on is the health of their players over the course of the season, which has been the responsibility of Herm Schneider for many years. Lots of managers have come and gone and he's still there. The White Sox are nearly always at the top of the leaderboard for least games lost to injury.

Now, football is a very different game. It's not so much niggling injuries from repetitive stress as it is random violent collisions that you have to be worried about. And with the size and strength of just about every position player on the field increasing on a year to year basis, it's seemingly impossible not to have a catastrophic injury or two every couple of games now. But having said that, we seem to have had more than our fair share in recent years. Is it just bad luck? Is it a failing of the training staff? Does the SU football training staff even have the same responsibilities as a baseball training staff? Anyone have any theories?

Indeed we do.
If they would simply infuse all of our best players with Adamantium, and regenerative abilities, we'd be all set.

There is something wrong here. We seem to have an above average number of injuries every year now. My mind wants to believe we are jinxed but I think there is something wrong with our conditioning and practicing. Last year and now this year ?

how does one train for getting blindsided to the head?

The non-productive QB recruiting goes back farther than 3 years. From the time Nassib was handed the reigns in 2010, we haven't recruited a competent QB that actually made it to campus until Dungey. During Marrone's 4 years, the only guy that looks like he may have been on that list is Zach Allen but he never made it here because of the Marrone and his staff leaving so abruptly. And we don't really know what he is capable of because he hasn't played much under center at TCU due to being behind Boykin and it now looks like he's been recruited over anyway there.

Our QB recruiting over the past 12 years is the single biggest reason why the program was in the state it was in over that 12 year period. It's no coincidence that our only period of mild success over that stretch was our 21-17 record with two bowl victories during Nassib's Soph-Senior seasons.

He was moved to WR if that tells ya anything.
