The Wiz Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) I heard Sal follow up this morning about Brees saying it was serious according to schefter I believe. Ben's was a non contact injury so could be bad as well. They made a comparison to a pitcher blowing out his arm. Edited September 16, 2019 by The Wiz

DJB Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Ben probably hurt his UCL I think . Although Allen hurt his because of contact typically baseball pitchers blow it out and need Tommy John surgery.

You hardly ever hear about Tommy John in football It may not be Tommy John. There's other ligaments in the elbow. But yes, Tommy John is rare. Baseball pitches put much more stress on their arms than QB's. The arm whips much more throwing a baseball.

mannc Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Wow. This could be the year that the early 2000s era QBs who have dominated for so long finally exit, stage right. Amazing how quickly a team’s fortunes can change. The Giants were smart to draft their new guy while Eli is still upright. The Saints and Stillers are in a for long, lost season.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I never want to see any player injured. Brees is a class act. I hope he gets to end his career on his terms. 3
GunnerBill Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 My Steelers supporting friend said that after an interception on his second pass Mason Rudolph really settled in and got the offense moving. I have that game downloaded to watch on my way home this evening but I can absolutely imagine why Big Ben does not want to undergo surgery. The Steelers really liked Rudolph a lot before the 2018 draft, have brought him along slowly but loves his training camp and pre-season. If he comes in and plays well then for the first time they might start asking the question. I think Brees is on safer ground. There is no potential "QB of the future" waiting in the wings in New Orleans. We know by now what Teddy Bridgewater is and Taysom Hill is not a Quarterback. That said Drew Brees is 40. Maybe this injury is the end regardless of whether there is a replacement lined up.
Not at the table Karlos Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Bridgewater better step it up. I spent a ton on kamara and 6 pts isn’t gonna cut it.
H2o Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Baltimore looks to be the head of the AFC North right now. Pittsburgh wasn't realistically a threat for a Wild Card spot imo. Sucks for Ben, but I don't see this helping us much. It still may be the end of an era in Pittsburgh though if Ben needs TJ surgery. Brees is on the downside of a story book career. If he is forced to miss significant time then the Saints are toast. Not sure why they played Bridgewater yesterday instead of Hill, but I'm not Sean Payton. The talk of Josh for MVP is a bit premature and isn't on the docket right now. Just win games baby, just win games.
Gray Beard Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Pittsburgh is not very good these days. If they somehow get into the playoffs, they won’t go far. Take this as an opportunity to search for your QB of the future. Move on from Ben. Can probably make similar statement about NO, but they have Bridgewater who could be good enough to build an offense around.
