  1. If he doesn't "a college hero could be creeping up on the depth chart." Usually bleacherreport contains useless information, but I guess this could be considered ok. That being said, I think fitz will do fine, stay healthy this season and return to his first half of the season last year status: He will be slightly above average and occasionally take us out of large games with interceptions.
  2. Ha, I thought I read it wrong the first time
  3. I asked my dad who is a neurosurgeon (and got me into the bills) for this question and he said: The facts are sketchy: In one place it said he had a fracture and in the other it said he had a ruptured disk and two incisions in his back. The spinal column is composed of virtabrae, you can consider it a tripod with a vertebral body in the front and the facet joints in the back. They are stacked one above another, between them is the disk. A fracture can occur anywhere in the bone, in the front it is called a compression fracture (occurs from something like a hard landing in a helicopter). This would cause bone fragments to fragment into the nerves in the spinal canal, hence the compression causing nerve damage. This would cause loss of bladder and bowel movements, weakness in the legs and loss of sexual function... Apparently he was playing with it last year so it could not be the severe type, but a milder telescoping of the vetebral body without fragments. This could be treated conservatively or with a fusion (replacing entire bone and secure it with metal). This would take roughly six months for a average person to feel normal. This is usually accompanied by a posterior operation where they also put metal in the back. This is called a 360 degree fusion.If he has an associated disk rupture, then they would clean out the disk during the operation. The problem is that vertebrae fused to the one above and below it which can create limited movement. But not as much as you would think. The problem is the disk space above and below have to cause more of the motion and may be more prone to rupture. This is assuming he had this done. Once the fusion takes, he could play again but will always be susceptible to further injury. Depending on the degree of the compression and how well the surgery went, he could play again after the offseason. This is assuming he had this done. If he just had a ruptured disk, he could come back in 3 months. Not knowing all the facts, there is no way to be sure. But it is possible.
  4. I hope he's okay too, no reason to laugh at someone getting hurt (unless it is Brady)
  5. haha i laughed
  6. Wilson is a SS and no roosevelt making the team?
  7. Once I saw Eli as #1, i didnt bother reading anymore. This list is crazy bad, that being said Fitz is a 15-20 ranked QB. Let's be honest, we can win with him but he is mediocre
  8. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2012/04/eagles-sign-demetrius-bell-to-replace-injured-jason-peters/1#.T3xvHs1DHsI "(It appears Bell has changed the spelling of his name from Demetrius to Demetress)." I guess it beats changing your name to World Peace
  9. What do you think the chances that we are going to resign bell?
  10. In practice, if the Oline keeps playing against a strong D line and then goes to play against another D line of a lesser caliber would this make it easier for them to get better as a unit?
  11. it wasnt that hard to get, that was sack city
  12. Kelsay is going to look a lot better this year at his natural position with 3 other studs right next to him
  13. I thought so too, but even for doing this shows something
  14. Unfortunately, with the increase in chlorofluorocarbon global warming is a larger concern than before. Soon, playing in Buffalo will be in sweltering heat.
  15. This test cant be right, it was way too easy. Any high school student planning on taking the SAT should be able to get a 50.
  16. I'm 20 and I'm a huge fan of Promo too
  17. No, he's going to get fired before
  18. Dont forget the "we should have drafted _____ over *any bills player drafted in the last 10 years*" threads
  19. Haha the funny thing is my friend called it before the game even started. He is a colts fan so he dislikes the patriots almost as much as I do, and he knew Pollards record of hurting Brady then Welker and almost Gronk
  20. Oh yeah, a team can't be good if they don't win the superbowl. Great point!
  21. look at Alex Smith, everyone labeled him as a bust. He is still a mediocre QB and a system product. It just goes to show you don't need a franchise QB to win
