Well he said it.... "when Jameis broke his back", even repeated it. Injury sucks. But when we all learned of this, I think we all knew deep down it was over for Jameis.

It wasn't a spinal injury, however. Just some of the transverse processes were fractured. While calling it a "broken back" it is not as serious as that sounds.

Transverse process is a small bony projection off the right and left side of each vertebrae. The two transverse processes of each vertebrae function as the site of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine as well as the point of articulation of the ribs (in the thoracic spine).

While very painful they are not "career ending". No more so that a broken finger. There is no danger to the spinal cord itself from these injuries at all from everything I have read.

Not ball breaking, just curious: Do you Google your medical commentary or do you have a medical background Guido? When you talk about injuries, you talk in nuanced details that a lay person wouldn't normally know.

Just asking.

Correct.

We should see something this week after he's released IMHO. If Saints sign him, we draft a QB next year, other than a late 6th or 7th rounder. The class next year is arguably better . Which one would you draft from this list below?

I like Williams and Maye.

You can see grit and character in Maye just by looking at that picture of him.

I'd run with him

Holy **** Matt Ryan is ahead of Brees for 4th qtr comebacks? That’s mind boggling since he’s probably also top 10 in 4th qtr chokes.

He's also ahead of Drew Brees in the skid mark category as well.
