Quote:I think people are just frustrated that he underwent surgery after a few weeks of doing the conservative route unsuccessfully.

 

Even if it was 50-50 that it could heal on its own, why take that risk.  Get it operated on and "fixed" so you're ready for the season opener.

 

 

Have you ever had surgery or know anyone that has?  Surgery is always the riskier option.  If there's a chance to rehab an injury with physical therapy alone, that's the route you take.  Where's Joan Rivers when you need her?  Oh right...

 

 

Quote:What I really think happened is that he had a set-back in his rehab and injured it more - which had to get surgically fixed.  Maybe he fell on his hand again, maybe he didn't follow the protocol - or maybe he was misdiagnosed.

 

Or maybe I'm just coming up with conspiracy theories.

 

Today is 4 weeks to the day that he had surgery...  on his hand...  which is his livelihood.   It's much more likely that he just isn't ready to catch a 50 mph+ football in his 4 weeks removed surgically repaired hand.
