I'm not a doctor, but I'm going to say this anyway (about IT Band Syndrome)...

I don't know that you can blame it on the trainers. Maybe Favors didn't tell them about it until it was too late. An athlete needs to know his own body. The trainer is there to facilitate healthy decisions but the athlete also has to know when to back off.

excellent post. This is why I put Favors himself at the top of my list. He's been in the league a long time now. He should have learned his body better. You don't get IT Band Syndrome at the end of the offseason if you've done that.
 
That's it? We can't find more people to arbitrarily blame? We can reach deeper. With the lack of knowledge about this situation I'm positive we can find more people to blame. What about P3, his family, Quin, his mail carrier, his dog, maybe the weather, fans, people who make ****ty threads he might read and stress him out and anyone else. Let's get angry at more people because we know little to nothing about what happened or even if this is actually what he has so let's use that knowledge to blame people.

please give me a plausible and blameless scenario for developing IT Band Syndrome over the offseason. Don't blame genetics. Go! tia.
 
I picked this injury up when I was training for a half marathon and it seemed like it took 6-8 weeks of PT before I was back in running shape. OP is right is that is an overuse injury and I had no idea what was going on until it was too late. The training staff may need to puts Favs on a pitch count.
 
Ever since we got our true center in Rudy, I've been advocating for Favors to lose some weight. And every year he comes as big as ever(I wouldn't say fat, but he's damn big)... you cannot convince me this weight is not impacting his body in a long season.

His strength is one of his biggest assets but in general he could drop weight and maintain a strength advantage. Because he plays both positions I don't know that I want him dropping too many pounds, but long term the weight obviously contributes to wear and tear.

I've been with you on that. I was really looking forward to his condition after he KNEW he'd be a PF in the vast majority of him minutes. This is all a big head-scratcher for me.
