Not liking the pick is one thing. I don't, at all. Would've rather made the jump into the late 20s once Conerly slid that far if they'd decided on LT or bust.

But man, it sure seems like some of you have already decided his career is ****ed and aren't even willing to consider the alternative.
It's not me deciding it.

It's me looking at the historical data and going, "Oh, that sucks." And the deeper and harder you look, the more it sucks. And you start to see the most likely outcomes.

If you're laying odds on the likely outcome, it's a coin flip that he ever actually plays again after this injury.

The odds that he gets back to what he was are 1/5, and that's being generous.

I'll be nervous about it until we see a reason to stop being nervous about it. I will hope that reason materializes.

It would be super cool to have heard more about how they cleared him medically. Tests they did that convinced them full function would be regained. Anyone heard anything in that realm?
