Jarvis Jones at 15??

We would be crazy not to snatch this guy up. Will he play 10 yrs in the NFL, probably not. His back condition will get worse as he gets older. But for right now, he'd be a steal at 15!

There is an article that clearly says you can get surgery to widen the space between the vertebrae and the nerves. Most people don't have the money for that, but Jarvis will pretty soon. Surgery has been highly successful according to that article, but obviously it's no guarantee.

It's more complicated than just arthritis. Arthritis, of course, is chronic inflammation, and you can treat it, but you can't really stop it as far as I know. Some form of arthritis leads to the narrowing of space with Stenosis, and when those nerves are being squeezed it causes far more problems than just pain. But if he can get that procedure done, it should hopefully lengthen his career.

I'm no doctor, I'm just going on what information I can gather. But I'm weighing the upside verses the risk, and I still think we have to take him if he falls. I really doubt he falls that far, though.

Wrong Georgia Linebacker - Ogletree is the man...

Seer1 · 02-23-2013, 12:34 PM

So what are the odds of both Ogletree and Jones being around at 15?

The problem with Ogletree is as talented as he is the guy is a moron. What was it a week or two that he was arrested for a DUI after all the off the field issues he's had in the past. Not too bright.

The Saints locker room will have a positive effect on this young man; he is probably the best playmaker on defense in the draft - we really need to find a way to get this guy in the black and gold...

Jarvis was SEC DCs nightmare. He is exa fly what our defends needs. I think we will sprint to the podium if he is there at 15

No, Chris Samuel, just found an article about him:

Oh yea, originally with the Bengals out of Alabama I think.

I discovered McNeill also had it...

Despite a stellar college career at Auburn, many teams were worried about McNeill's injury history; namely having spinal stenosis or a narrowing of the spine

He still ended up playing 6 years though.

Geez..its NOT A NARROWING of the spine. Its is the narrowing of the space in the vertebra where the nerves pass through. You can get nerve pains in different parts of the body depending on where it is. With the amount of money he will be making, he can afford a daily chiropractor to stay adjusted. Making a big ta do over over something he can manage.

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the open spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on your spinal cord and the nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the neck and lower back.
While some people have no signs or symptoms, spinal stenosis can cause pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and problems with bladder or bowel function.

Its still sounds like a pretty serious issue to me.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
