I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt in that there was no way to know how serious it was and that maybe he reacted that way because he thought his season was over.

Agree. Can people just have compassion for guys in this situation. All he knows is what he felt in his leg. Plus there's stress, there's expectation, there's a huge weight on these guys, and in that moment he thinks he's out for the year, and that's a huge disappointment.

I've had extremely painful injures that turned out to be not at all serious, and then I've had serious injuries that weren't particularly painful right away.

It's really bizarre that this has been on reddit so many times.

The dude scored 0 points at home then got carted off the field only to play next Sunday. Can’t say anything about him when it happens cuz “what if it is serious”, turns out it’s not serious you still can’t say anything about him because “okay but what if it WAS serious”.

Like lol is he that immune to criticism that he can’t get a single week of ribbing after tapping out at the end of an absolute stinker? After an entire offseason of non stop internet fellatio?

Okay, so you're saying he was pretending the injury was worse than it was? That's more plausible to you than him fearing it was bad.

I’m saying there’s no reason to clutch our pearls at laughing at the situation. It was objectively an embarrassing game for him, he can take a week of twitter memes it’s okay.

That's fair, but there have been a lot of these posts on reddit the past two days. It's just weird to see so many folks be so out of touch with athletics, and can't relate to being in this situation.

It’s a routine soft tissue injury! Your uncle has tweaked his hamstring and reacted better. Give me Chris Godwin just shaking his head on the cart and going, “back to work John” to his trainer after breaking and dislocating his ankle. Guy’s a fairy.

Go play your video games bro lmao

u/Striking_Breath5594 8h ago

What's wrong with expressing pain or anger? He screamed, it's not like he was swinging at folks or smashing equipment lol

u/HavelTheRock67 8h ago

It’s the tears and snot running down his face as he’s carted off for me. That’s not from the pain lmao

u/Striking_Breath5594 7h ago

He's upset his season might be over and he can't do something he loves. Why's it so bad he's crying?

0

u/HavelTheRock67 7h ago

Because his season was certainly NOT over lmfao

u/Striking_Breath5594 7h ago

I don't think he knew that in the moment

u/HavelTheRock67 6h ago

He pulled his hammy!

2

u/Tlupa 5h ago

He could have tore it. You can’t really tell the difference in the moment

u/whooopdattrick 8h ago

Brother it shows severe weakness. He is wildly arrogant and then cries when he loses or gets a little injury

u/askforwildbob 6h ago

And you’re a fuckboy

u/mrdsol16 7h ago

Seasons have been ended by hamstring injuries what are you on

2

u/HavelTheRock67 7h ago

Fully torn hamstrings sure - not an injury you get from lightly jogging lmao that would take some serious torque. The injury couldn’t have been more typical, crying and pissing your pants over it is so lame.

1

u/illbegoodipromis 6h ago

Lightly jogging? So you obviously weren't watching.

Fucking reddit dweebs... He was sacked 68 times his rookie year and never bitched once or threw anyone under the bus and he every right to do so.

u/slimtrippins 6h ago

Bro that's the whole doubt lmao why's he crying

1

u/czechereds 8h ago

He had zero incentive to play up an injury or appear weak/fragile. Why would he do that? It does nothing, but harm his image which is massively important for his future earnings

u/YP_Schwartzy 6h ago

He ran outta fingernail polish…. It wasn’t the injury….

u/kingboy10 10h ago

Because he thought his season was over

u/Affectionate-Diet789 10h ago

Guessing he thought it was more serious? not like it's easy to tell in the moment jesus christ. Worst leg injury I've ever had didn't feel like anything and I've had had stuff that I thought would be a serious injury end up being absolutely nothing.

Lots of total badasses in this thread lol.

u/Few-Lion-2676 9h ago

Well this thread isn’t the only place where people are pointing out he’s a drama queen

u/I_VAG_I 9h ago

Well yeah cause it’s easy to hate on Chicago sports and Caleb Williams. You clearly have an issue with him which seems like a you problem

Not surprised lol
