Because if it’s the latter I think I dont want to be a doctor That sounds naive to the extreme... You do know doctors actually a lot of times do have to cause wounds to treat other wounds? And that there's always a risk involved in just about any procedure? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Herbert looks good and Tyrod comes back and starts in 2 weeks... Part of me now wonders if Lynn was saying all this stuff this week about starting Tyrod because he knew Tyrod couldn't play, so he was just being respectful and giving Herbert a couple weeks to make it obvious that he is the starter.

wackywabbit Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Well, this totally explains why Lynn didn't say that Herbert earned the starting job. There would probably be (even more) legal liability if the team said that Tyrod lost a starting job because they stabbed him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going for it on 4th and 1 in OT, throwing the rookie under the bus. probably won’t Though because Herbert looks good Didn’t throw the rookie under the bus.

Seemed to blame him for offensive deficiencies, “he’s a backup for a reason” almost like the loss was on Herbert even though he was told he was starting minutes before kickoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BTW Lynn does care to the extreme about his W/L ratio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveTheVikings Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Shariff Floyd had his career end because a doctor (Dr. James Andrews of all people) botched the surgery on his knee which lead to permanent nerve and muscle damage. Was a minor arthroscopic procedure as well. I doubt this incident is really going to affect the long term career of this doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually win when we do well with turnovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he can sue for all of his incentive bonuses and easily win the case because he's about to lose his job because the team doctor hurt him.

If the doc doesn’t do the procedure...he misses 2-4 weeks while his ribs heal...and he loses his job. These procedures aren’t done on a whim. I’m sure that Tyrod knew the risk and benefits of the procedure. Cam Akers faces a similar scenario this week. Does he go with the block for the opportunity to grab the bull by the horns and win the RB job, or does he do it the old fashion way and potentially let Henderson get a head start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that Tyrod knew the risk and benefits of the procedure I think we've becomed conditioned to think of these injuries as trivial, with how quickly these players come back. Reality is, these injuries are fairly catastrophic for the most part - the body isn't designed to withstand this sort of damage, it needs significant time to recover to optimal condition. The rub here is that football players don't have months or years to recover - weeks, days is more like it. So, doctors and trainers have cheats and shortcuts that'll they'll take to get players game ready. As much as we think these things are fail proof, they're very unnatural in the grander scheme of things, and the risk for furthering injury is always present. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
