Oh, and Crow has offered a little physiology as to the makeup of the joint, the mechanics of the ligament and the biology of the healing process of a rupture and specifically how that may impact not just an athlete, but an offensive lineman.
I haven't -- I don't know anything about that (and haven't claimed to). He does. And has presented some bonafides. But he hasn't said that he's examined the medicals with Simmons. He's been completely forthright that this is merely a demonstrative example of the hurdles faced in Simmons recovery. And he's dovetailed that knowledge with the studies to explain WHY they may have come out the way they have. Or WHY this 'double graft' may not be relevant.
Y'all can just...ignore it. Fine - free country.
I've stayed away from the medical and gone to numbers and player evaluation. I've focused on the outcomes of the studies and why I don't think Simmons is the sort of blue chip prospect that would convince me to walk away from those. Why I don't think the reward is worth the risk. I've stayed in my lane. Do I have a scouting department? No -- but I've been right about these things more often than I've been wrong; I'm at worst batting .500 when I'm in direct opposition to a decision Veach has made. I've damn sure been right more often than most of the knuckle-draggers shaking my tree at the moment.
Y'all are welcome to give all that no weight. Or to give it weight and disagree anyway.
But you oughta at least be fair about what people are saying, their basis for saying it and why they've said it.
