Being that he was a WR, he benefited from stickum more than Lester Hayes and should have had the rule named after him, if you ask me. Instead, they named the award for best college receiver after him. Which I find incredibly stupid.

I didn't realize Hines Ward had a rule in place.
I do remember him laying out Ed Reed once ... thought he had killed him on the field. Ward was an absolute monster at blocking. |

It explains, along with other un-posted pieces, that the procedure allows rehab of the injury during the healing process and will allow Brees to be 100% healed AND practiced to be game ready in less than six weeks post surgery.
MY point is that Brees will be fully healed ... 100% ... when he is cleared, so why not let him start against a crappy team since he is fully ready? |

I found the article, and I read what it said. It's an inventive procedure. I see that it helps the recovery process. All good things. However, it gave only one example. Players do not all heal at the same rate. The article did not state that the player they mentioned returned at 100%. It just said he came back earlier. Doctors do allow you to play with pain, if they believe the structural integrity is strong enough that there is no heightened risk of further injury. Your link does not answer that question one way or the other. Now, maybe Brees does come back by week 8 and at 100% health. I'm not saying he will or won't. I have no idea. All I said was that if he is not 100% by week 8, then why not let him sit through the bye? You're asking me why the Saints should sit him against the Cardinals if he's fully healed, but that's not my premise, to begin with. I said if he's fully healed, then there's no debate. You can't simply assume that he'll be fully healed. Doctors give estimated recovery times, and articles can give an example of one whole player, but how fast will Drew heal? We can only wait to see. If it were such a sure thing, the Saints wouldn't be saying they are targeting a week 10 return. I mean... Think about that, Guido. You think you know when he's going to be ready, but the Saints don't? |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

My question is, does he really have to "live" in the training room for his thumb? Thank God it wasn't his leg.

He looked like a caged tiger on the sidelines last week. |
