Yay! Hehehehe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I'm hoping for. He'll honestly probably be fine. It might just mean he misses the ND game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone his age, and in the shape of an athlete, it's about the same as getting a cold, or maybe the flu. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's likely, but not always the case. And there's always the threat of myocarditis, which is more of a fear than COVID itself. Athletes are far more prone to that. It's part of the reason for the stance that the Big Ten took. Myocarditis can occur even if no symptoms occur from the COVID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no team that’s dropping him from their boards, there’s no fear mongering, but teams will likely want to get a thorough medical check on him to rule out the possible implications of the virus that can show up well after the symptoms disappear and the virus runs its course.

That's true, but I'm sure the team doctors would give him a very thorough physical it they were going to draft him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Which is why my initial response to SK was that this wouldn't impact his current draft stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're right. I'm just looking for any possible advantages we can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 We are 1-5 and just went into Lambeau Field to play the 5-1 Packers and knocked them off. Why does it feel like we just lost another NFCCG or Super Bowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it feel like we just lost another NFCCG or Super Bowl? I like the Beavis gift, funny stuff. But fact is it is no longer tank for Trevor because that was never really a possibility with worse teams around the NFL. Now it is tank for Trey Lance or a good OL or DT potentially. Wonnum played well, so did Gladney, Cleveland, Dye got some play, so did Lynch and Hand. Rookies got run and Dalvin is obviously well worth the money he got. Take away Dalvin's 63 yards receiving on screen passes and Cousins did not even throw for 100 yards....and they still won. Freaking awesome I would say, and beat the Packers and potentially show a massive weakness in that offense after what Tampa did as well, freaking great day!

I wasn't in the mood to care about anything you said, but I have to admit that the last part did put a smile on my face. Thanks buddy!
