If my comment seems cynical, it is because it is founded in his selfish decision to play in a game that many have argued has reached its course and should be discontinued... Actually, I'd like to look at the specifics of compensation for Graham for playing in the game... Back to my experience with sports orthopedics; should it play out that he'll need surgery, it will probably be more involved and may affect next season's success as he procrastinated to have the procedure done... Some of us are more informed, and have more experience than you idly dismiss; you should really reflect on the arrogant tone you project on members of this community that their opinions are invalid because they differ from yours... Again, football is not rocket science... |

After the game it was determined that R-E-S-T was all that was required. Not surgery. You implied earlier that not having surgery was a mistake. Once again, how do you know more than Graham and his doctors? Do you even have the slightest clue as to what procedure may need to be done? Please share your "experience with sports orthopedics". |

Re: Jimmy Graham says current plan is no shoulder surgery
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy !!! All that money the Saints paid you and you dunk at the pro bowl. Now I think his injury must be healed up, should be no more excuses for drops, quitting on plays, blocking defenders, and in particular going over the middle. If your well enough to dunk a football over a goal post, do the rest or is it all show!! Earn that high dollar contract you got last year because you aint' earned that big money contract with your abilities last season. Be more like Gronk if you can.

Re: Jimmy Graham says current plan is no shoulder surgery
He may still do a little clean up surgery when he gets back into action in the spring. I just hope it doesn't drag on into TC. It would be good to have everyone available throughout TC for a change. We certainly need everyone on the same page and begin building cohesiveness early on.
I trust in Payton to get this back on track, however TC needs to be less powder puff and more like boot camp. OTA's need to have full attendance. |

Re: Jimmy Graham says current plan is no shoulder surgery
doesn't it sound so familiar, its gets repeat hit in the same shoulder in spring and dr's say surgery to get it healed, jimmy you have to understand that when you go short arming your drops for half a season can cause domino effect on your team bro. everyone seems to drop off. show us and your team the money jimmy, it works all the time, same for jr. galette and cam, and drew, jari, grubbs, colston, every starter to back ups man. that's what made it happen in 09, everyone took care of their bodies and DID THEIR JOBS.

As I mentioned before, surgery is ALWAYS the very last resort. One can fully recover from a wide range of injuries through rest followed by physical therapy. |
