"The Joe Show" - Joe Staley Thread

Should be in the HOF in 5-7 years, IMO

Hate to see him go but we fans will survive it. We survived losing Montana, Lott, Rice and Gore so I'm sure we'll get over this. At least Staley retired a 49er so we didn't have to endure watching hm play for another team.

It hurts but you are absolutely right. Craig and Lott was bad seeing them in that uniform, then Rice went the same way. . We didn't have anyone better than Ronnie and we didn't have anyone better than Roger. And then we didn't have anyone better than Jerry. Montana was tough to lose but there was Young.

Thankfully we didn't have to see Bryant Young in a Raiders uniform and now likewise for Joe. And Staley has played out a long and productive career.

craig clearly had lost it.. i have no memory of him doing anything as a viking..... lott was hard cuz he proved he could still play and had we kept him. we may have kept haley and had we kept haley.. oh never mind

I was 10 rows up from the block he had against the Saints. Still the greatest block I've ever seen in person at any level of football.

Def gonna miss him.

Baldy put together a nice tribute video of Joe.

Heck no. Let him retire in peace.

Staley revealed on a podcast that he is suffering from multiple neck and back issues, including Spinal Stenosis. As a veteran of Spinal Stenosis surgery, I feel the man's pain. The pain caused by Stenosis is like nothing I can describe. It's a solid pain. It sends jolts of searing pain into your left and right legs, and sometimes your left and right testicles. It is all you think about 24-hours a day, seven days a week. It is never ending pain, pain and more pain.

Joe will eventually need surgery for the Stenosis. It doesn't get better. It is a chronic condition that worsens over time. The rings in his spine that hold the sciatic nerve in place are now squeezing it. A series of shots to the affected area can provide some relief, but it's limited. It is also temporary. Those needles go deep my friends. Right into the spinal column. That procedure is just extraordinary.

As I said, Joe will eventually need surgery to remove the bone-crunching pressure on his sciatic nerve. It does work. Mine worked. But, you pay a price for the pain relief. The spinal column is a labyrinth of tissues with millions of nerves. Surgeons slice right through them to get to the affected area. Some heal with time. Some don't. Everybody is different. But, bottom line is you do not have the movement you once had pre-surgery. I walk with a slight limp and I do not move quickly.

But, if that is the only price you pay for a surgery to relieve a pain that is simply exquisite, I will pay that price. Again and again. I will pay it.

IF some how or way the Jets and 49ers made it to the superbowl, would you guys mind losing to the Jets to give Gore his ring?

Hope your futureonly gets better Joe. It ain't the same without you.

Fire Tim Ryan and pair Staley with Greg Papa
