Hope for a speedy recovery and for the shoulder to hold up next season. Hoping for an injury free season.

Hopefully he comes back stronger than ever with it.

Yeah Dr. James Andrews said at the bottom that his arm will be as strong as ever so thats good. I was also reading some other articles about it and they said that they shaved off a tiny part of his clavicle and the reason why they did that was to allow more room for nerves and tendons and muscles to travel through. Dont know why that was needed but guess there is a reason to do it haha.

Haha yeah. They wouldn't do something like that if there wasn't a reason for it. I really do hope he can go a full season. I would love to have that happen. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

It would be nice to see what he can do playing a full season, haven't seen much out of him yet.

Bust, and a horrible player. He will never stay healthy, and Steve Emtman stayed healthier long than him.

I'm giving it one more year before I say that. If he gets injured next year, I'm leaning towards bust.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

He won't be a bust, hasn't done anything thus far but I expect that to change.

 

[Lake Louise]

As I said. Need to give it another year before really determining anything.

That's why people should at least give the guy a chance to prove himself.

Yeah. I mean, he hasn't really had that chance, because of injury, but when he's been in, he's been able to do some things. Unfortunately, one of those things is get injured.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I think he'll have a good/healthy year next year. I wasn't sure what'd he'd do in the NFL coming out of Georgia, being the first overall pick. I've seen signs of greatness, he just needs to put it all together.

 

[Lake Louise]

That's what i'm hoping for. Although, I did hope for that last year, and that didn't happen. I had no clue, not even to guess, what he would do in the NFL. I'm not saying some people did, but I really knew nothing about him, except his name.

He wasn't a high profile QB for a first overall pick like Sam Bradford, Andrew Luck etc. You know you can build your franchise around those QB's. I seen Stafford play at Georgia but never seen that "wow" like I have with Andrew Luck.

 

[Lake Louise]

Yeah. That's why you just never know with college players. There's guys that are drooled over like Bradford, and there are guys that no one really knew about like Skelton(Yes, I brought up skelton. Don't ask why). It just depends on how guys perform.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Look at Joe Flacco out of Delaware, Tom Brady, Tony Romo etc. All good QB's. Never know. Some of these QB's can turn out to be great.

 

[Lake Louise]

Well, I knew Brady, but I get the point your making. I only knew about Flacco from watching the drills they did and him throwing for like 70 yards or something like that. That got him noticed. Stafford does have capabilities, he just needs to stay healthy. Not to sound repetitive, but that's the main issue.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Is what I'm saying is Brady was drafted real late and was a steal.

 

[Lake Louise]

Oh definitely. Doesn't matter if they are drafted 1st round, or 7th round. They could be a difference maker. Stafford was drafted higher than he probably should of been, but that's what the Lions needed, and without Millen in the front office trying to screw them over, they went for him.

Danny I hope that was sarcasm.
