FireChan Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Day one starter. Misquoted. It was "Veteran's Day one starter."
dave mcbride Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 What a ridiculous take for a short term shoulder injury. Shoulder injuries are serious. When shoulder injuries drove Tony Boselli from the game, I recall him saying something to the effect that shoulder problems were one of the silent killers of NFL players. They don't get the attention of knees, but they're serious and often degenerative. Obviously, I don't know about the extent of Lawson's injury, but this isn't good.
John from Riverside Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Well, I agree that it's a sad state of affairs when message board rumors deserve more credibility than pronouncements from OBD. I dont like the surgery any more then anyone else does..... I still say its more then just about him starting day 1 of this year. If the kid is great....then having a surgury he was eventually going to have have makes sense
Blokestradamus Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Best case is that something minor got seriously aggravated in the last week. Worst case is that the Bills medical staff is full of idiots. Not a good look for the team.
Dr.Sack Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Don't mean to beat a dead horse but what is a typical time table for recovery? I believe 6-8 months. So best case November or the last 6-8 games. http://www.earlthomas.com/2015/02/25/et-iii-has-successful-shoulder-surgery/

Not a good look for the team. It's at best an odd look. Tough for some in this thread to contain their giddiness.

That's with no complications and from someone not fully aware of his medical history. Hard to imagine him being good to go on just mental reps for Week 1.

Shoulder surgery has come a long way via arthroscopy. I have had both of my rotator cuffs repaired and I recovered full range of motion and 100% strength. If it's a labrum, it's not as serious.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) So much for starting out healthy... Who do we look to add for depth? Edited May 16, 2016 by dneveu
Jamie Nails Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 at least it's not the Kiko injury. I remember being so bummed out when he tore his ACL in the off season. Also, I apologize to the OP for my previous comments. I just didn't want to think this was the case.
Blokestradamus Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 So much for starting out healthy... Who do we look to add for depth? Dwight Freeney!!
truth on hold Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Unbelievable. Best case we're looking for him to make a contribution during 2nd half of season. Sign Greg Hardy ASAP
YoloinOhio Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) @profootballdoc Typically minimum 4 month recovery. Definite PUP, hoping for quick recovery to make Week 1, possible to miss games. Had issue last week. @buffalobills cutting losses to do surgery now. No long term, but early season games at risk. Possible signings when he's on PUP IMO ... Jarius Wynn, Dwight Freeney, Kroy Biermann Edited May 16, 2016 by YoloinOhio
John from Riverside Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I do really wish Whaley had not done the 3 day 1 starters comment But I dont know what actually happened here
Blokestradamus Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Sign Greg Hardy ASAP I'd rather put you at DE.
BillsVet Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Tough for some in this thread to contain their giddiness. Giddiness? No, it's called accountability. For a bad decision made by a professional sports team worth in excess of 1.4B. I'll bet TPegs isn't thrilled that he's got to spend money on damaged goods. Not something a successful businessman normally does.

And precisely whom are you holding accountable and how? By bitching on a message board?
