im super curious what his arm strength will be when camp starts, like if he is 80% back and if that means he can participate in a limited capacity. Or if he misses the first 2-4 weeks of camp.

that'll be interesting to follow.

Why does that "mean" he'll be 2/3 of the way through rehab? What if he's actually 3/4 or 4/5 of the way through rehab when training camp starts? I'm just putting out a hypothetical, there's no proof he'll be some exact measure of his rehab at the start of TC in preparation for on-field practice. It's a fool's errand to try and figure some exact margin he has left until he's all the way back. There'll be reports of certain checkpoints he's reaching of course, but they won't actually know until they know.

I'm just going off of the timeline the doctors provided - which was 3 month rehab. With training camp starting 7/25, he will have completed 2 out of 3 months of rehab - or 2/3 of it.

he could end up a head of schedule, shortening the timeline, but at least he hasn't had any setbacks.

anyways, idk what you're going on about. Lmao literally just using the doctors/surgeons/rehab timeline. Lmaoo

That's awesome and so far, Brock exudes all those traits. Hell yeah!

eff the non sense that size determines potential. Lol it helps but it's a small fraction of what makes a great QB.

Random likes to follow me around and troll me. I'm assuming that was a shot at Jimmy. Weak AF. Kind of like his argument that it was Jimmy's fault for Kittle dropping the pass against Green Bay in the playoffs. What a week that was in the Jimmy thread lol.

What's better than that? Well the fact he doesn't even cost $1M against them cap! Lol he's so cheap rn that he doesn't even count against the salary cap. Hahaha

Only the top 51 salaries count against the cap, so I think he will once all the rookies are signed up - if they aren't already.

That's still crazy to me.

I see 5 boxes checked for Brock. What are they? If he doesn't have a strong arm, doesn't have size and isn't really mobile then you can't say he checks all the boxes. Those 3 things may not be the most important but if you have those 3 things and do the other stuff well then you have true franchise QB that could end up in the HOF. You don't need those 3 things to be good especially when you're on a well stocked team but it's hard to be really great without those things.

I know Montana didn't have size or a rifle arm but he was mobile in his early career. Later the team was so good that he didn't need to rely on any athleticism.
