and the spin continues.. this thread, like I keep saying not a drop of football Mr Att, 100% pure spin
do you have anything football related? I say JG is at the end here, his body done quit on him.. you think he's still young and will be back next season?
in his prime, right? 
What evidence do you have that he his body quit?
exhibit A would be him undergoing an ACL in 2018, had to play 2019 with the brace
I think anytime an athlete undergoes the knife that's a big deal, we as fans sometimes view it as madden (not you here, but general fans) and oh he's back in this timetable, but it's more than that for these guys, acl's you generally don't come back 100%, at least right away.
He played well in 2019 with the bulky brace, 2020 was a lot of soft tissue stuff iirc.
2021 he stacked more injuries late in the year, significant enough they derailed that offseason, which was much discussed, same in 2022, injury sufficient enough that it derailed a lot of his offseason, couldn't even rep it up with his new team, and it was a bit of an offseason red flag for LV, to the extent I think they tweaked that contract, cuz of medical iirc.
you have to add all that up, it's all part of the odometer. Then this season concussed I saw on probably multiple occasions, one he missed a start, the other he went to the tent for concussion, and was back in the game. Back injury so severe, he's rushed to the hospital.
Observe how he plays the game, he holds the football and absorbs contact even if the play is not on. That's not what you want your QB doing under much of any circumstance. Note here, this is a JG criticism, and has been for a long time, get rid of the football. Also vs KC, take the boundary. KC players openly said, it was on JG he got injured, cuz he was trying to cut upfield and get more yards for the team. Not wise, but you understand why he's doing it, he's trying to make a play for us.. I always felt from day 1, once we sign him to the record deal, coach up throwing away, sliding, getting out of bounds, all of it. Not gonna blame anyone for anything, this is football and stuff happens, but be smart out there. Rice was great at getting down, avoiding getting blown up for the most part. It's how you play deep into a career, avoid contact.
JG took a lot of contact from how he played and we all know he doesn't respond well to contact. Even his last game with JG, if you saw it, he was literally flying on a 3rd down rush (went airborne), into the D for yardage, on a play that led to a punt.. it's maybe team first, in the immediate, but that's not what you want your QB doing, unless you are an athlete, like a Josh Allen and excel at it, that ain't JG.. or know your situation, if it's like Elway in the SB, okay go make that helicopter style run into the D, some random week 7 just cool it..
he's been with a lot of dif coaches, and never instilled or shown much self preservation, so maybe it's just who he is.. but he had a lot longer career on the table if he wanted it, if he slides, gets out of bounds, throws away strategically over his many seasons..
