I have a sneaking feeling that Graham's high paid doctors know a bit more about his need, or lack of, for surgery than you. Surgery is always a last resort when it comes to joints areas. Yes, sometimes it is the only resort, but all surgeries come with a risk.

You're point that none of us have personally examined his shoulder to recommend surgery is valid, however...

Do you read, and do you comprehend what you read?!?

R-E-S-T was prescribed; so, he had no business playing in the ProBowl...

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...

R-E-S-T was prescribed AFTER playing in the Pro Bowl to test it out. The whole week before everything was about using the Pro Bowl as a test. Do you honestly think that was all on Graham? That smacks of what a doctor would say.

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".
