This is still BCB's team, I'm confident he'll make a full recovery and be back better than ever.
I don't think he starts the season as qb1...but he could take it back if he's healthy and trey struggles
Yup this. I love both Trey and Brock so either way I'm good.

It's the elbow, there's no UCL in the shoulder.

He's in the denial phase. Let's give the man a couple of days to process what happened to him.

True , no reports of ulnar nerve damage, but with an UCL tear, you have to consider that the ulnar nerve was subjected to the same grossly unnatural force that tore the UCL. No idea if ulnar nerve was torn but GTD it was severely stressed. The fact he was able to throw a tiny bit means the ulnar nerve, even tho traumatized, is still working, and that is a positive sign. The UCL tear, tho, has to be fixed, but the internal artificial ligament procedure, would mean a lot less time off than TJ repair. Remember the snapping of the wrist/ elbow is inherent in pitching but not in throwing a football. The artificial ligament gives him protection at the elbow and isn't subjected to the similar forces a pitcher's elbow requires.
Only question is , no matter which surgery is done, how does Brock's elbow function post op? The old dictum, "no surgery makes things better than they were originally" is key here, but the good news is that for TJ surgery , in-game forces are not the same for pitchers vs Brock's situation. Brock has no need to rotate/snap his wrist/ elbow to throw a ball. That is the best thing i can see thru all this.
As for the ulnar nerve, it can always be moved…or transposed, if you will. I had that done over 25 yrs ago and they just move the nerve from where it was in ulnar notch to mid forearm. Makes no difference in function and protects it. So he should be okay nerve wise , even tho ulnar nerve got traumatized also.
Good to hear from a Doc, doc.

Cool story from the SJ Merc:
Yesterday Deebo Samuel stopped by to gift Purdy a jersey that was autographed with a custom message, that read in part: "I'm so proud of you, proud of how you handled business. Stay up. Keep getting better. Future is bright."
The players love this kid.

Well, perhaps, but he (or anyone else for that matter) would be a fool not to seek a 2nd opinion. Only time this gets to be an issue is when you got a guy who wants a 2nd, then a 3rd , then a 4th…etc…which complicates things more than getting closer to a solution….but a 2nd opinion? Absolutely necessary. When you add in the NFL money consideration, a 2nd opinion just has to be done.

I was referring to the "let it heal on it's own" comment. He's very religious so maybe he and his family think prayer will do the trick.

I don't think anyone is truly considering "no surgery" . We are well past that and now the question is what surgery is best. TJ surgery is out as Brock doesn't need that for football. It's pretty much an arttficial ligament vs allograft ligament, vs cadaver ligament. I kinda like the artificial one, but if this is done by the Kerlan-Jobe clinic in LA, those are the best in the business on ligaments, tears, meniscus, and so on. That's where I would want to go…again.
