Wrong, the MRI showed all they needed to see. No TJ.

Lol you even read what I wrote mayo? MRI's don't always tell the whole story, nothing is more sure than when you actually get in there. That's not debatable

Yeah, I read it, I just think the doctors feel that they don't need to go in to determine any further damage.

Which doctor? If the MRI was a sure image and all that anyone needs to see, then what is the second and third opinions from different doctors for if they all see the same thing? I don't think that isn't a fair question to ask, is it? We'll see; I'm not saying that he needs TJ, what I'm saying is that I honestly don't think anyone knows until the operation.

Ok, fair enough.

This has always been the understanding. MRI's only reveal so much. Once the doctor opens it up, he may determine simple reconstruction isn't enough. At that point it's a doctor's judgement call, so as part of the 2nd and 3rd opinions, I'm sure one question was at what point that doctor would determine TJ necessary.

I mean I didn't think it was rocket science either lol
Can someone dumb this down for me? What takes so long for a 2nd opinion? Are they letting it heal for bit? Wouldn't you want to get started on this as soon as possible?

Not necessarily. I don't know the particulars of this injury but for ACL's and such, they give it a couple weeks to let the swelling go down, sometimes longer.

Makes sense. Thanks

You can say something like don't read more into a statement or body language then is actually there, or say something like the player/coach didn't mean a statement in xyz sort of way...... but the truth is you have to say that pretty darn often about Trey Lance.

It would not shock me if his teammates think he is not the best option at QB right now.

Most of these guys walk on eggshells when they talk to the media, It is not like we are talking about T.O here....most these guys are not off running their mouth.

I know I absolutely got the vibe that the team was elated when Jimmy J went back on the field in game 2. So when we have different tidbits come out, like Shanny talking about how difficult it ended up being getting a young QB with limited games under his belt up to speed, or someone saying like "hey when Brock is in we have to fully run our routs because no telling when he will throw the ball" it does sort of paint a picture we are not looking at Trey Lance just having a lack of opportunity, but possibly him just not being equal to other QBs on the roster at this point in his career.

I didn't watch that whole video but the guy did touch on a key point. Guys want to keep their jobs. Guys on offense want to be thrown to, they don't want 3 and outs, the want the best QB to help them keep their job and get paid. Guys on defense want the defense to stay off the field, they also don't want a ton of 3 and outs to the point they end up tired and making mistakes they get blamed for....

It would not shock me if right now they think the best option is Brock.

Lol I've never seen a team on any level hold a vote for who the QB should be when they have a coach.

Most definitely the coach makes the decisions. But I have seen many a free agent over the years sign with a team because of the QB. Money talks, but at a certain point, the ring is the goal.

I think that's backwards. The ring is the goal, but at a certain point, money talks.

Teams with the most cap space tend to sign the most FAs. These guys have a short career and getting as much cash as possible is the goal.

If a dude is getting paid regardless, then sure there's a ton of other variables. Overall money talks> anything else, regardless what they say after the fact.

He just needs to throw left handed.

I saw a video of Kittle asking him after the injury, if he was ambidextrous and could throw left handed. Sadly, Purdy said no. :( But leave it to Kittle to be the optimist and think of that!!!!

I think it depends on the stage of the career which is most important; money or ring. I would bet Marino would give up a lot of money for just one ring.
I didn't have the Purdy becomes Montana.. right down to the Montana NFCCG injury in my 2022 bingo. Was not at all ready for it.

Montana seen here



now this thread is just depressing

But in that game the injury was late and we still had the win until Roger Craig said nah.

Against the Eagles the team had zero chance.
