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?

Duh?

Where are the Saints saying thy are targeting a week 10 return ... post what else was reported?

Where is that link that is prior to links saying he could return earlier?

By the way, I admire that you actually investigated my earlier posts. There are much lazier members.
