Now, if he IS 100% by week 8, then there is no debate. Trying to predict exactly how healthy someone is going to be at an exact moment is not an exact science... To be exact.

I'm not sure if you have read about this procedure, but when medically cleared he will be at 100%. THAT is the point. And that point is met within a six week period on average with this procedure. Brees has proven to heal faster and more completely than the average human given his well documented history. When he returns he WILL be at 100%. There will be no rushing. If he is where he is expected to be in week eight he will be at 100% and will be able to play with no risk beyond that of any other player.

100% and PRO football ready are not the same.

In this case they do. He is able to get back to FOOTBALL ready because of this particular procedure that incorporates the internal brace. He can be going FULL practice WHILE the final healing stage is becoming 100% complete.

I'll tell you what, Guido. You find the link that explains the exact procedure he had, and the information that says he will only be cleared when he is 100%, then copy and paste it here, and then I'll believe you. I have no problem with accepting that information if you can provide it.

But since you sort of have a history of claiming to know everything about everything, I take everything you say with a healthy sized grain of salt.

In the meantime, I'm aware of a lot of players who are allowed to play before they are 100%, because doctors say they're good enough that they are not risking further injury by playing. And my point was that, IF that is the case with Drew when he is cleared, why not just let him fully heal rather than play against a crappy team. Assuming Teddy is still playing well by then.

But if he is 100%, then fine. Terrific.

We want him back to win a Super Bowl , right . Let steady teddy keep us alive for one. But we don’t want to see any deer in the headlights from teddy when it really starts playoff fever. We want the 100% medically cleared no excuses see You in Miami Brees leadership to bring it home.

Attachment 13269 Attachment 13270

What is that supposed to mean? I said I had never heard of a Raiders DB being known for stickum, and I meant it. I had never heard of Lester Hayes. Did I say "no, Lester Hayes never used stickum"? No, I did not. Do you even realize what a dumb post you just made?

Meanwhile, I HAD, in fact, heard of a Raiders WR who was well known for his use of stickum, and his name is Fred Biletnikoff.

So what, again, was your point?
