Give one reason that makes sense. We don't know when they got the 2nd opinion. Was it Wed. or Sat.? Don't know and really don't care because it's in the past. What I care about is his future. What does it take, if anything, so that the risk is eliminated and he can play again? scine09, and japan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is dumb. I’m really glad to see how many of you can’t use logic. So, fractures are different. Great point. Okay, well what does that have to do with the pregame tryout? I mean what exactly where they testing there? He isn’t getting hit. He’s throwing against air. Since youre talking shit go ahead and try to answer the question.

According to Dungy and Manning, Peyton received his initial neck injury in a game against the Washington Redskins on Oct. 22, 2006. ... But, in September of 2010 it was reported that Peyton had been injured sometime before week one. That is when the disc in his neck began to do nerve damage.

IsntLifeFunny Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hey, this fracture might not be that bad, but if he gets hit wrong it’ll ruin his career. Welp let’s test him out before the game against air to see if we feel differently about the doctor’s assessment. Seriously stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably knew that they had little chance to do any damage in the playoffs so it wasn't worth pushing him. This is what happened. It’s very simple. Marcus doesn’t have a fractured neck. They would have never worked him out if that was the case. They backed him down and he let it happen. His nerve injury was at risk, and it’s possible he was told on a second opinion it was career threatening if he was hit wrong. The team went with Gabbert and Mariota accepted, begrudgingly.

Doctor: your QB has a fracture in his vertebrae. Team: Damn. Doctor: He’s risking his career and does not need to play. Team: well, we are going to let him throw some passes before the game and see what we think. That at is literally the logic being used right now. Likely they got a diagnosis that an injury could end his career. It was not going to be a high percentage chance and there was not agreement internally on if they should take the risk for the win. Coaches and player thought the risk low enough. FO thought it too high. FO made the final call late Edited December 31, 2018 by Pragidealist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 If this was the Chiefs or Saints maybe they make a different decision. But there's little chance at a Super Bowl. So why risk it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the diagnosis he’s immediately shutdown. Edited December 31, 2018 by IsntLifeFunny Pragidealist 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since youre talking shit go ahead and try to answer the question. Did you take a stupid pill at the game? The pre game workout had nothing to do with his availability for the game. The decision had already been made. You have no idea what the workout consisted of. It could have been simple range of motion and/or feeling testing. japan, No1TitansFan, and Pragidealist 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
