.....just to add ,infections can come from a multitude of places but most come from the Hospital itself.

This is correct with regards to post-surgical infections.

Smith's is a little different animal because it was a compound fracture where the bone was exposed. His was almost certainly acquired while he was on the field, or otherwise prior to the surgery.

That's true, unfortunately..

Another problem area could also be technique. I remember watching RG3 and thinking he was the opposite of someone trying to protect themselves when contact was coming, almost like he was contorting himself to increase his risk of injury from a collision. Watching him play it was no shock that he had the injury history that he did.

Most of the injuries this year that have been shown on television this year have been due to ankles, knees, legs, and shoulders bending under immense pressure and weight in ways they are not made to bend.

I get the knee jerk reactions about the S&C staff and trainers and all that, but seriously, just go down the list with each player, body parts bend certain ways and when heavy players moving fast cause them to bend in bad ways injuries are going to happen no matter how flexible or strong players are.

Yeah, like I said in my original post I don't know the health care plans of teams, individuals...so like most, they go to their own doctors who then diagnose, treat, operate and handle recovery.

So the team isn't involved in any of that? So when we hear stuff from directly from Quinton Dunbar saying, "they don't know what it is" in regards to his nerve, hamstring, groin, knee...the multiple guesses of what injury was going on with him...im trying to identify the point of reference...is that his personal doctor or the teams doctors? or both?
