2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

I read he is ahead of schedule as well, but if he got injured week 2 2020 with a "more extensive injury than just an ACL", you figure a year would be a realistic recovery time, so thinking he might not be ready day 1/august could be a possibility.

I hope he is, I just read that statement from doctor and was bummed. He should be healthy for the start of season unless there is something we dont know.

Do you remember how he got hurt? I forgot, wasnt it someone fell on his leg or something? Was it a gruesome looking injury or more of a Garoppolo type situation?

I mean its tough to temper expectations when Adrian Peterson came back from a torn ACL and had one of his best seasons ever - and that was what? 5+ 9 years ago? Sports medicine and recovery these days is getting pretty crazy

heh edit - looked it up that was 9 years ago

Its so fucked up because his rookie campaign was phenomenal. One of the reasons the 49ers made it to the Super Bowl was his level of play. He pressure numbers were out of hand. Then when Ford was healthy and they played together, the pressure rate was something retarded like 75%.

he was on his way to becoming an Aaron Donald type player IMO. But now....who knows.

2021 comeback player of the year

And gets him and the Bucs in trouble from the league for sandbagging on the injury report.

She even have any idea what's happened with the Stanley Cup?

She sounds like the worst kind of human. Probably never gets invited to any parties. Would never guess why..

TJ tweeted this out when JJ announced his release


It would require some pay cuts. But goddamn, not even being a homer....the Steelers front 7 would be a handful for anyone, especially if they went to a 4-3 which they have kind of hinted at since its what Tomlin coached in Tampa. Add Minkah to the backend of that. Could be a special defense that comes around every so often that could win it on its own.

Yea the Stanley cup is awesome.

Them already being a handful is what covered for your fat fuck's ineptitude most of this year, I don't think JJ would put yall on any kind of plateau considering how many games he's missed to injury over the last 5 years.

Stop shitting on my dreams ok

*If* JJ could stay healthy he could be a gamechanger for this defense. They were good enough this year where they could use him on a limited snap count in passing situations in rotation. Tomlin is actually pretty good at keeping the older guys rested and healthy for all his other faults. It depends how much $$ he wants, he said he wants to go somewhere to win so maybe he will be willing to take less if hes on a team with both his brothers.

My ideal offseason would be: Acquire JJ with the money Ben hinted he could give back with a pay cut as he should. Trade JuJu and maybe a 3rd for a 2nd or late first.
OT, OG, RB in the draft in some order of those positions, which could come in and contribute week 1. I doubt Etienne would be there at 24 (prolly not out of the top 5 or 10) but a back like Najee Harris from Alabama might.

This team could win a SB with a healthy defense that it had in 2020 (esp adding an impact player like JJ) if it had *any* semblance of a running game and not needing Ben to pass 40-50 times a game and work off playaction. Thats the formula that won a SB in 2005. Before they lost key players around week 12 that defense was 1st in yards, scoring, and turnovers -- then teams figured out the Steelers cant run the ball or catch the ball past 5 yards and the defense was constantly on the field.
