Oh real dialogue, what a novel idea.

Let's also not forget someone has to throw him the ball. You keep underestimating, his QB. This is a whole new look since the last time he saw the field.

Bottom line is not keeping in touch with your team regarding a major injury is a stupid and selfish move.

It’s also a selfish move to bring a player back in half the time it takes to heal from an injury that threatens to end his career at his age. It’s unwarranted animosity.

I’ve stated multiple times that I hope CGM comes back healthy and kicks ass. I’ve said I wanted him on the team. Don’t confuse/dismiss legitimate observations and critique of past events and behavior as simple dislike shawnk. Please. Another user here does that all the time.

He looked good on the snap. Real good burst off the line. But, the cut at the top of the route, looked ugly.

You mean after the catch?

Yeah. I'm not seeing it either, Mike.

We know he practiced today, but this makes it formal.
