I'll give him 2008. But did he play 2009 did he?
He seems lazy on the field, all reports indicate he's lazy at training, and it shows in his games. He doesn't run onto the ball. Very rarely did we see him and his blistering kick chases. And the stand in one spot left step doesn't work.
He's just had an injury that he will never feel confident about, and he will never be stepping off that foot again.
He's as good as dead for mine.

Agree entirely.
He's not your traditional type of centre. He won't run onto balls at full steam and burst through a gap, or use his pace to motor past defenders.
He uses brilliant footwork and strength to fashion opportunities, and it's a marvel to watch him in full flight. Everyone says he's slow, but I reckon that's wrong. Sure, he doesn't have scintillating pace like Michael Jennings, but he's quick enough for a centre.
Can't wait till he comes back.
Also, can broncospwn please not reply to this thread. [icon_lol1.

One good year gives him NO grace. He is paid by the Broncos to be a consistent player, playing one good season does not account for abandoning the club and getting continiously injured. Shadow of a once.. DECENT player.

You don't know that at all. Everyone reacts differently to injuries.

Injuries cannot be helped in most cases, and I'm sure it's the same with Hodges, but he seems not to really invest in keeping himself uber-healthy like other players.

^^^ This.
There have been many many players with incredible talent, who have done freakish things on the field, stuff a lot of players can only dream about. For whatever reason, some out of their control, they never do it consistently, or don't have long careers.
They are not great players.
Justin Hodges is in that category IMNSHO.
