Priest Holmes reportedly re-injured his neck and will retire - The Orange Mane

HEAV · 11-20-2007, 06:54 PM

FoxSports.com reports that Priest Holmes reportedly re-injured his neck in Sunday's loss and his career may be in jeopardy.

Holmes reportedly has already seen a neck specialist, and will see more to determine when and if he can play again. A neck injury also forced Holmes to miss the entire 2006 season. With Larry Johnson out, Kolby Smith would be in line to get all the carries for Kansas City

Thats too bad... Holmes always seemed like a class guy.

If this is true it's probably time to hang it up permanently.

Rohirrim · 11-20-2007, 06:58 PM

I agree. Priest has always been a class act. Time to move on with his life.

Paladin · 11-20-2007, 07:01 PM

He had class except when he did his "ballet" dance into the end zone. He was not drafted.....

Bronx33 · 11-20-2007, 07:02 PM

Time to call marcus allen

HEAV · 11-20-2007, 07:13 PM

Agree with him being a class act.

Shame it has to end like this.

Sodak · 11-20-2007, 07:18 PM

It's time for him to quit. The Chiefs have nothing to offer him except a losing record and permanent injury.

Retire Priest, while you still can.

Too bad his talents went to waste in KC where he wasn't going to win anything.

He could have played under shanarat and done the same... what difference does it make

Los Broncos · 11-20-2007, 07:52 PM

Thats to bad, Holmes was a good runner but looks like it may be time to call it quits.

Same may go for Lynch, John didn't look so good Monday night.

What exactly is Lynches injury? I don't think Holmes should have came back in the first place... Too Risky!

This coming from a guy whose team would have to win out just to make .500.

zdoor · 11-20-2007, 08:01 PM

That's too bad. He's a good guy for a Chef. If there is the chance it's the same injury he should call it quits.

Pinched nerve, very painful.

Blueflame · 11-20-2007, 08:07 PM

Lynch's injury was a stinger... kinda the same injury Al Wilson had.

Jason in LA · 11-20-2007, 08:07 PM

I bet Whitlock is going to accuse Holmes of quitting again.

Hmmm...Priest Holmes to DEN instead of KC...I wonder how that would have turned out...? What year did Holmes sign with the Chiefs?

Don't talk about finishing above .500 cause your team is in jeopardy of going under also!

Bronco Bob · 11-20-2007, 08:15 PM

Poor guy. Hope he gets better, but maybe he should consider retiring.

Atwater His Ass · 11-20-2007, 08:38 PM

That's too bad. Although I don't really understand why he came back in the first place.

Moon§hiner · 11-20-2007, 08:53 PM

I hope he rides off into the sunset and has a good life....We have had our share of attention whores here in Denver after touchdowns and less meaningful plays. I look at it like he came back because he didn't want to go out so early. Now I think it's time. Lynch and Rod should take this as a lesson, if not an omen. This is a game for young men, not somebody that can't accept they can't compete anymore.

You WILL finish under .500.

broncosteven · 11-20-2007, 10:15 PM

I hope he knows how to listen to his body and call it quits before he does permanent damage.

I hope John Lynch can do the same.
