hopefully soon, that kid IMO had something special
Probably after bye week and if that were the case I wish they just stash him on non return IR and let him heal up 100%.
Prime time genetics? :razz:
Haha i wish he shared genetics with the actual prime time!
I was actually referring to MacDonald's dad. I like the idea of having a thumper at safety.
Yeah i got what you meant lol...but anytime i hear prime time i think of Deion.
In all seriousness though, i'm not sure what it is about TJ but I just think he showed that something thats hard to describe that can make him a special player in this league. I think, for me, it was that he never really looked like a rookie, sure he made mistakes (who doesn't) but he brought that I'm here to play attitude, with no regard for his own or other peoples bodies.... obviously that was pre injury hope he can get back to 100% and progress to what i think he can be.
Doctors aren't incented to look out for players long term future, they are incented to get guys back on the field. Just because hes cleared to play doesn't mean he should actually play.How do you know he won't be 100% when he returns?
I never understand when people say something like this. I mean, for example...how do we know that the doctor thinks 3 weeks until a player is good, tells him 4 to err on the side of caution....then you want the team to wait longer? Makes no sense to me.
If a doctor says "You're healthy enough to play", you go with it.

I don't think I'm making my point clearly...what I'm getting at is how long do you push it off before it's "ok" to get back out there?B/c of teh greater chance for re-injury. The *insert body part* is no doubt weaker after an injury even after it's "healed" so the chances of reinjuring is pretty up there, ruining both the team and the player's chance for a good long career.

I mean, you can guess every week and keep putting it off...and I think that is about as silly as it can get. If a doctor says you are 100% I don't see how a head coach with no medical background can sit back and justifiably say it's better for him to sit out another week. If you are going to do that for precautionary reasons with no educational background on the matter why not just sit the guy on the bench all year and next too, just to be safe. Man, he better not play ever again, you know, just in case.
You let him go the full cycle of the off season due to the severity of the injury. If you have ever been seriously injured, you would understand this.
EDIT: I do not mean to sound like I am talking about injury as some sort of macho, right of passage thing. Believe me I do not think getting injured made me stronger in any meaningful way.
