I know there will be the regular assholes who laugh and call him a bust and a wasted pick, but that was a freak injury and it really sucks for both him and the Saints.
There comes a point in time where one has to accept that some bodies are just fragile no matter what their build, or potential may be.
Turner has one of those bodies unfortunately for the Saints and him.

I agree. But it happens to players on all teams, we’re just much more attuned to it when it happens to our guys. I just don’t like when people criticize the organization for not having a crystal ball. And I like it even less when we criticize the player like it’s some sort of character flaw. We’ve got the biggest, fastest players on planet earth colliding with each other on every play. Sometimes shite just happens.
And the bad luck we’ve had with Davenport and Turner could be seen as the balance to the incredible good luck we’ve had with the freakish anomaly that is Cam, who hasn’t missed a game due to injury in 12 seasons and somehow looks to not have even had any significant drop off from his prime.

The reason why we have so many of these guys on the lines is b/c that's exactly the bodies we go for. Tall, huge, super athletic guys typically have bodies that can't support all that physical potential 100% of the time. It is what it is.
There's a reason why Turner, Davenport, Armstead, etc. were always hurt.
It's not a terrible strategy unless you start reaching for guys, which is the problem with Turner and Davenport. 3 first rounders spent and 1/3-1/2 games missed and no 2nd contract.
