you've accused me of using multiple handles and not being a medical professional but you are wrong on both accounts. Now you want to pretend that you know jack squat about athletic training because you do rehab. Funny, but good enough for me ;)
"the basic point you seem to be making..."
False. Let me set you straight:
The point I've made is simple - massive weight gains (>0.5lbs of "muscle" per month) and the training regimens that facilitate said gains (your aforementioned BFR) are just fine for large athletes or athletes genetically predisposed to be large (>220lbs), but extremely dangerous for skill position players. The risk/reward is exponentially worse as Wingo, Hall, Hilton, and Akushe will attest...

Lower-body/core muscles of skill position players absolutely must be developed using balanced natural movements over a course of time sufficient to allow connective tissues to fully adapt if they are to avoid injury due to the unbelievably high dynamic stress brought on by rapid acceleration (in multiple planes) and change of direction. For the same reasons, Linemen shouldn't be using BFR for upperbody work as this is where the more dangerous dynamic loads present.

"The ligament argument can be made with any exercise leading to hpyertrophy."
Absolutely false.
Development of connective tissue isn't out of balance with muscle development with training regimens using natural movements. If you had a clue as to anything you linked, you'd understand that the increase in growth factor using BFR isn't accompanied by the requisite CTGF - AS IT WOULD BE USING NATURAL MOVEMENTS.

If a staff insists on using BFR even in situations where it is contraindicated as you claim they have, they should at least have the wherewithal to be injecting HLA matched platelets immediately after workouts and not just after injuries LOL
