Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Shady put up over 1200 yards rushing age 28 and over 1100 age 29. The great running backs perform well into their late twenties. Age 30 is when they really fall off. Quote

nuklz2594 Posted July 23 Posted July 23 I'll be 62. Retired US Army infantry. 30's you lose a step. 40's lose another step. Aches and pains set in from the 20's and 30's. 50's is when you hit the wall. 60's you are so used to aches and pains that you don't care or have a filter. You grin and bear it and laugh at young people whine. I wouldn't change a thing. 1 Quote

Most athletes probably somewhere between the mid and late 30's start to decline. For a QB yes. But your average player, upper 20's to lower 30's depending on position. I wish they could separate the DT's. Your big 1T I believe can last longer. Your penetrating DT's I think don't last as long. 1 Quote

Yup, so very true, I’m sixty seven, I just drag my azs to the gym three to five days a week, and notice how few guys and gals our age that aren’t…, Semper Fi, 👍 Quote
TheyCallMeAndy Posted July 23 Posted July 23 The fact that 20 NFL positions are basically 29-31, then you have RBs at 27 and QBs at 39 is wild. 32 definitely seems to be the magic number for a lot of positions. RBs definitely hit that wall hard, but safeties absolutely seem to as well. It's alway interesting to see technique making up for loss of elite athletic ability and what positions are the best examples (WR, CB). DT may be the position that "ages" the best, and it's surprising given the physical nature. Perhaps it's the rotation? Quote

And they both did it through diligence and hard work only. It definitely wasn't a situation where they were clearly on PEDs and everyone just turned a blind eye to it because they were megastars that made their respective leagues tons of money. No way. Why would someone even think that? 1 Quote
JP51 Posted July 23 Posted July 23 So the one interesting thing to me that Guards drop off quicker than Tackles... very minor, but I would have expected Guard to last longer due to not having to play in space as much... 1 Quote

Tackles rely more on athleticism and technique. They don't get as beat up physically by the big guys in the middle of the defense like guards. 16 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: When Beane hands them a 1 year contract 2 Quote

So, yes, I would have thought the bulk strength goes last and the athleticism first, but to your point, probably more susceptible to injury and that makes sense... 1 Quote

If you have excellent technique the drop in athleticism isn't as costly as skilled positions like RB or WR. There's just more wear and tear on a guard/center's body given the nature of the position. 1 Quote

Tired. #5/7 https://geediting.com/b-phrases-men-use-when-theyve-settled-for-emptiness-instead-of-joy-according-to-psychology/ "5) “I’m just tired.” When someone repeatedly says, “I’m just tired,” it might not always be physical fatigue they’re referring to. From personal experience, I’ve found that this phrase is often a subtle way of expressing emotional or mental exhaustion. Psychoanalyst Carl Jung once said, “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.” When we’re constantly saying we’re tired without a physical reason, it might be time to look inside. The frequent use of “I’m just tired” can suggest an acceptance of emotional exhaustion as a norm, a settling into a state of emptiness. Recognizing this pattern can awaken us to the need for change and to strive for joy in our lives." Edited July 23 by ExiledInIllinois Quote
