Von Miller ACL- Out for Season

[Gugny]

By the end of today, I expect the TBD Medical Team, TBD General Manager Team and TBD Football Analyst Team to report on the following:

 

1.  Why was this tear not seen earlier?

2.  How long will Von Miller be out?

3.  What does this mean for the Bills' chances to land OBJ?

4.  How will this affect next year's draft/free agency/trades?

5.  What does this do to our Super Bowl chances?

6.  When was the last time Bruce Nolan banged EJ Manuel's mom?

 

Don't let me down.

No chance. Their D is def worse. No Jerry / Von , no Hyde 

 

tre hobbled and won’t make an impact 

shaq is a  fringe roster maker/JAG

Defense is most definitely not worse than last year.  Added Phillips, Settle, Jones, white is back, elam added, improvements from edmunds

[BillyBilliams]

Oh, it's not Josh Allen?  Still doesn't change my Super Bowl expectations.

stop fooling yourself. that was 9 years ago and von in football years is OLD for this type of injury

 

We are also more advanced in medicine and rehab.  Not everyone is Tre White in return time.

why do you keep saying that Trey White is hobbled?

This hurts most because a 33 year old player was our only “twitchy” edge rusher. We have no one else on that DL who rushes with pure speed and bend. Like Dawkins said, “Jerry Hughes was a great player to go against, but Von Miller is like Jerry x4.” They’ll have to blitz more off the edge because Rousseau is the only one left who gets back there.

 

 

Speaking of Jerry....

 

Are there still rumors of his release?

I mean, I guess there’s not much they can do in terms of clearing room, and it’s pretty much Groot and Epenesa time?

More hope for Lawson than Espenesa.

Are you forgetting Da'Quan Jones, Tim Settle, a 2nd year Greg Rousseau?  

How is Tre hobbled and won't make an impact?

Can you believe Justin Zimmer was signed off the Bills Practice Squad on 11/23 by those dirty rotten Fins!

I just want to know how we went from he’ll be back in a month playing with a brace to season ending ACL surgery. How did they get that so wrong?

 

You cant always see this stuff in imaging.  Same reason they wait for swelling to go down before doing the imaging.  They didnt see it.  Then he had exploratory surgery to repair the meniscus that they did see in imaging.  While doing that surgery they seen the torn ACL.

His first acl was on 12/22/2013.

 

He played every game in 2014 and ended with 14 sacks.

 

he is not necessarily ‘done’.

As mentioned earlier, that was many moons, and many thousands of plays ago.

What incentive does Von have to settle out of a $120M contract?

Well, really has $40 million left if I remember correctly. Last 3 years was to spread the cap hit out.

what a kick in the dick.

This team is still better than last year’s when 13 seconds prevented a likely Super Bowl appearance and win. 
not deterred. We have Joan Allen. 

Good ol’ Joan Allen!

[BufBills83]

Team is better than last year and we're the 1 seed.  This doesn't change the outlook for the season.

Contract? will be null and voided if this is a career ender and a settlement will be made to let go of von. Paying Von that much to sit out the rest of this year and most of next year? nope. i dont see it happening

Why do you keep calling it a career ender?  You have no clue, man.  Also, why the hell would Von accept an injury settlement?  Guy negotiated three years of guaranteed $$$, for a situation just like this.  He'll rehab and return in mid-to-late 2023.  The only real question we should be asking ourselves is how much will he have left in the tank when he's back on the field?

[Mopreme]

Wow. What a waste of money? Never should have signed him. Likely out next year too. 9/12 month recovery.

He's a troll, to him we were doomed before this news came out, this is just convenient for him.
