Sounds like the name of a chiropractor or acupuncturist selling tens units on QVC

tbh sounds bad if they lose this game and Dallas, they should be sellers and tank

Can I ask a weird question?

If you have an organizational plan to tank, how can you do that if you also supposedly have the head coach on the hot seat? Isn't it kind of unfair to decide to throw at an organizational level while also putting that on the coach and firing him? Just a thought. I feel like if I was an owner I'd need to pick one or the other, especially with the NFC East looking like its returned to its NFC Least form.

He'll probably be out 3-4 weeks

Did he read the news himself? Just to make sure he knew it was Superficial Vein Thrombosis and not DVT, since DVT is quite a bit more serious to say the least...

No - I just said blood clot. Did say they let him play with it, now shutting him down because it moved.

No chance they let him play with DVT.

I don’t think you actively tank where gameplan to lose but you definitely just trade guys that have value to help you in the future. Like Ojomo and woolen are gone at the end of the year so get value for them.

Craziest season in the last 30 years.

I'm surprised they let him fly to London, play, fly back and fully practice just yesterday.

On top of all the injuries, I wouldn't be surprised to see some medical staff lose jobs.

He may have had the blood clot develop on the flight. It's a known risk.

Yea I love his game. Decision making, goes through his progression, arm talent, his ability to create time IN THE POCKET

I still like Moore and Mensah but I don't think as much as Mestenmaker

Haven't watched mensah but haven't been impressed with the little bit of Moore that I saw but I only saw a game or 2 this year

Slow start to the year for him. He was knocked out of the USC game after a dirty hit

Hate thinking this way but if there was a QB that they liked in the draft you could rebuild around him quickly with a bad year and IF you hit on the picks in 28.

Let that qb sit for a year behind Jalen and then get your lineman or whatever else you need in the 1st and 2nd round of 28

• Chao faced multiple malpractice lawsuits, a $1.39 million-plus settlement, lost surgical privileges at local hospitals, and disciplinary action from the Medical Board of California, which later placed him on five-year probation.

He is knowledgeable but also kind of a hack…

They will be SUPER cautious with this. If he has to go on blood thinners, then his season is likely over. If the clot resolves itself in a few weeks, let's see what the team's record is. The concerning part seems to be that it moved - if it were to go to the lungs, that's a pulmonary embolism. If the decision is made, since it showed movement, that the clot must be cleared up before he can play again, then...I'm guessing blood thinners and he's done for the season.

Could drop then in the draft then

Just spoke to Flyers great Kimmo Timonen, who dealt with blood clots in his career.

He says he played with superficial blood clots. They are not that dangerous, aren’t life-threatening.

He says sometimes they go away on their own or with medicine.

Not dangerous like deep vein clots

John Clark’s take

1) I hope Jalen is ok. This is no joke

2) FIRE SALE AND TANK BABY!!!!! EVERYONE MUST GO!!!! SIGN EVERY GINGER YOU CAN FIND!!!!!

3) Really wish we had next years 3rd now. Really has a shot at being a high 3rd.

Since it's moving can they afford to wait and see before putting him on thinners?

Still plenty of season left. I'm hoping it doesn't. Hopefully Mestenmaker drops in the Eagles lap.

Not that kind of drop @LacesOut . Sick f

I can't speak to whatever lawsuits happened. A lot of doctors face lawsuits some justified and some not. And there's always hospital politics involved as well. He's currently a practicing doctor in California. All I care about is whether he is good at evaluating sports injuries and he's the best at that.

I'm not sure. But since the organization is going to take a TON of crap for letting him play in London (deserved or not), they are going to be overly cautious now. No chance he's back until the clot is resolved, IMO.

Yeah, it will suck to not have it, but if they sell off they could get a few. I'd rather them do that vs waiting 2 years after Riq and the others leave.

Well, maybe Tanner can resurrect his value and get us a comp pick after all.

Stretching for the silver lining here.
