I'd like to know who's gonna take the majority of the snaps when McNabb takes a day off from practice.

If recovery time is really 8-12 weeks, I guess he has to tough it out.

I'll stand behind my favorite team as always, but I think we'll need some other teams to have big injuries to win XL.

you can make it worse...the hole in the ab wall can become larger...and thats when guts and ish can start popping thru

next thing you know, the eagles get a delay of game penalty during a 4th quarter drive resulting in a loss because Nabbs is too busy preventing his guts from spilling out all over the field.

he just needs to drink a King Koybra. He'll forget about the pain.

interesting. Where is the medical proof of that?

Just checking.

Who knows...This may force Reid to run the ball more (and assuage those that have this run fetish

) and McNabb to get rid of the ball sooner.

i heard/read this monday when glazers report first came out...i cant recall where...but i havent stopped thinking about it since

SunMo · September 28, 2005, 05:02:20 PM

all these medical experts.... we must have the smartest MB around

Diomedes · September 28, 2005, 05:03:13 PM

If anyone can do this, Donovan can do it.

See..I'm not a cynic.

He can't make it worse by playing with it, what is your point?

didnt they say the same thing about akers?

i had a sports hernia a bunch of years ago. and you can make it worse by playing on it. no matter what lines the trainers try and tell you, if you sustain an injury due to physical activity, you absolutely can make it worse continuing the physical activity.

have you ever gone to the dentist, and were found to have needed a crown, or a filling? did the dentist tell you "but if you want, you can wait a few months, here's a snickers bar for the ride home."
or

have you ever been injured, and the doctor tells you "we can fix it, but in the mean time, you can keep on doing whatever you did when you injured yourself?"

you actually beleive that crap about "he cant make it worse by playing with it?" if that were true, he wouldnt have GOTTEN THE INJURY. it's pretty simple.

I have never had a dentist offer me a candy bar. They usually tell me to stay away from sweets.

I don't go to doctors because they're for sissies; however, if I did I would probably tend to believe what a licensed practitioner said.

I don't understand what you're trying to communicate with the whole he wouldn't have GOTTEN THE INJURY statement. Are you saying the sternum injury transmuted into a sports hernia or he got the hernia because of the sternum gig? I'd figure a chest contusion or whatever and a hernia a close to mutually exclusive.

The Ravens won a Super Bowl with Trent motherfarging Dilfer. Even injured, McNabb is still a better QB than that.

i have no doubt he can fight thru this...hes a tough bastich...but neither he nor any other qb is going to win a superbowl with this injury

Diomedes · September 28, 2005, 05:06:41 PM

We'll see. I hope you're wrong.

honestly, how can you know that? i don't even know of any qb's on potential superbowl teams that have sustained this exact injury. if there is no history either way, there is no way to make any kind of prediction on the subject.
