Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this is unfolding precisely the way I expected it to.
You can take what Marrone says, what the reporters are saying, what EJ's saying, what the ESPN guys think, what the other players say, even what "doctors" here on this message board think: we have no idea what's going on.
Follow your gut on this one.
For the first time in as long as I can remember, we have a coaching crew that's acutely on-point when it comes to gamesmanship. It's evident by the way the team plays, how the coaches talk to the media and by instances where they say one thing, do something else.
There was no way this was an "injury" that would have sidelined him for any period of time, whatsoever.
If I'm wrong, I'll regretfully eat crow. Not because I have to be right all the time, but because our "franchise" QB has suffered an injury. But I don't foresee this being the case.
