I’d argue it’s more of a College development problem than anything

Yup, NIL and transfer portal has dumbed down the college game. No point of developing them. The game is now assemble athletes and hope for the best.

Didn't watch the game, but the box score made it look like the Spurs treated it like a preseason game lol

He had a knee dislocation which is a medical emergency, so that would be operated on immediately to make sure he didnt lose his leg.

Lose the leg from a knee dislocation? They suspect vascular damage or something?

Sounds like Burkholder (AR's old bud) said it was because of an avulsion fracture with the LCL I guess...

The reason he wanted to operate on him quickly — where we usually wait on the ACLs — is because [of] the LCL,” explained Burkholder. "We wanted to reattach the avulsion injury there.”

According to Dr. Cooper and the Chiefs’ team physician, however, everything involved with this injury was fully correctable; Burkholder noted they had found no artery, nerve, joint-surface or meniscal damage

Yeah. Popliteal artery can be compressed or even torn.

Nice find.. never heard anything more than ACL injury.

Geez. My daughter had a chipped piece of articular cartilage that progressively tore until it was protruding into the joint and causing subluxation in flexion but that's different from a complete dislocation. Doctor said mpfl tears are common with complete dislocation but said there was a chance a repair could still be needed in her case. Thankfully mpfl was fine and all they had to repair was rekeying the chipped cartilage back in place. They never mentioned anything about possible arterial damage, scary stuff.

ONE MORE WIN. They can do it. Don't worry about anything but Saturday. It's time to end the streak and bring it back to Philadelphia.

I’m not usually into conspiracy theories but in what world does a player get ACL reconstructive surgery less than 24 hours after it happened and starts rehab 2 days later? Especially considering he tore his LCL also.

Rehab consists of a wide range of things, he could be doing red light therapy to speed up healing and that would be rehab.

Homeboy is wrong. The NFL has a talent evaluation problem when it comes to QB's. They get over drafted every year.

I'd argue it's a development problem, because teams expect rookies to come in and play well immediately to save an awful franchise. A number of "busts" also go to poorly run organizations like the Jets and are doomed to fail. We've seen Darnold and Geno Smith, who were considered busts, leave the Jets and go on to become solid QB's. Geno was solid in SEA, went to the Raiders, and now he stinks again lol. Of course there's always going to be teams that simply evaluate poorly (Pickett, Richardson) but I'd say QB's failing falls more on poor coaching/poorly run organizations.

People were down on him all offseason wanting to not pick up the option but I never gave up faith and knew he was going to have a really good year.

Sure it was

People often call a dislocated knee cap a dislocated knee. Thats not really correct. In medical terms a dislocated patella is just that- a dislocated patella. When we hear dislocated knee we are thinking something different. In medical terms, a dislocated knee refers to the tibio-femoral joint. That is actual entire knee joint itself. That means that at a minimum you've torn the ACL and PCL. And its very bad.

Definitely an environment thing. Baker is the perfect example

Oh ok, yeah for her it was the patella subluxating, so the dislocation the doc must've been referring to with MPFL tears was just knee cap dislocation.

100% agree with this. Not to say there isn't a talent evaluation problem as well but I believe most of the reason is because most QBs drafted in the top 10 are going to horribly run organizations. The next QB that goes to the raiders? Screwed. Browns? Screwed. Cardinals? Screwed. Titans are going to ruin Cam Ward, not that he would've been HOF but he could easily be a solid starter

Its one of the reasons I found Mitchell such an intriguing prospect. Ignored the NIL money and fame to stay loyal to his team. Says a lot about the person he is

Wash leads the all time

90-87-6

@mattwill

Eagles 24 Wash 17

Tighter than it needs to be but never in doubt and Wash gets a late TD.

bonus: Tank over 100yds

@mattwill

Not sure if you missed this one.

I did an adventure run even a few years ago, and the terrain was awful. Mud and water covering large rocks. A guy slipped and fell, and when I looked down at him, his kneecap moved up to his thigh area...it looked so painful I almost got sick.
