Mr. WEO

TBD in lobotomy mode--total disinhibition to post a thread on whatever pops into one's head. No filter. lol

If Hyde (and the Tenn WR) doesn't touch that ball, Poyer does not intercept it. It would have been a decent pass defended by Edmunds.

He's taking snaps away from Isaiah Hodgins though!!!!!

The answer is no. Can’t jump. Can’t find the handle.

Take Amtrak to Newark and watch them play Jets in November. Plenty of $68 seats on ticketmaster, etc.

no

this thread has aged well....

Not unless he's under center...

Come on! I read right here that Mitch could win 11 games easy with the Bills if Josh went down! lol

"Man's been through a lot, and probably deservedly so. Many think he deserved greater punishment. He took what the system imposed on him and has moved on, and I'm happy for him if he's found some peace." I mean...wtf. This is the ultimate definition of star struck.

The Chargers aren't named in the suit as a Defendant. They won't be telling the doctor/his practice's insurer how much to pay Taylor... The Browns traded for TT and named his starter when rookie minicamp started--meaning Hue Jackson traded for TT to have him start over rookie Mayfield--he was explicit about this. And what did they pay their incoming, new starting QB? Only 1 year and 10 million--hardly veteran starting QB money. What happened next? He was injured in week 3 and replaced forever by the rookie QB. No word yet on his lawsuit against the Browns.... Then the Chargers signed him as a likely starter in week 1 ahead of Herbert. What did they pay their likely starting QB? 2 years 11 million. Injured and lost his job to an infinitely better rookie. On to Houston where he was brought in to be the likely starter after Watson told Culley he will never play for Houston again. What did they sign their new starting QB for? 2.5 million dollars. Guess what happened next......that's right, injured again ( he made it to Week 2) and again replaced by a rookie QB--this time by the worst of the 3. On to the Giants. More backup money . So it is obvious TT cannot make any serious claim that he lost "FA starter money"---he took far less to be stating on the Browns and the Texans. At every stop since the Bills, every HC has seen the guy get injured and not be able to supplant the rookie behind him when reactivated. He's not a starting caliber QB. He gets injured all the time and then beaten out by rookies. Therefore he cannot (and certainly has not) "proven lost wages". It will also be hard to argue loss of future earnings when he lost no earnings--back on the active roster after a few weeks off and making his full salary all along. Plus, he went on to get another 11 million over the following 2 years (and counting) by 2 more teams. "Threatened his career"? "Forced him to take the shot"? Is that even alleged in the suit or are you simply making that up as well? Pretty wild stuff lol. You seem, bizarrely, to believe that medical complication is always evidence of medical malpractice. I enjoy when posters say "I'm not a doctor or a lawyer"....yet go on to claim "I see this happen ALL the time". Of the small number of cases that go to trial, the overwhelming majority are wins for the defendant: "Physicians win 80% to 90% of the jury trials with weak evidence of medical negligence, approximately 70% of the borderline cases, and even 50% of the trials in cases with strong evidence of medical negligence. With only one exception, all of the studies of malpractice settlements also find a correlation between the odds of a settlement payment and the quality of care provided to the plaintiff. Between 80% and 90% of the claims rated as defensible are dropped or dismissed without payment". You also claim you would be "shocked" if this didn't settle. Yet this suit was scheduled to go to trial in November until both sides decided to wait out this season and now it is scheduled for April. So we can assume discover is over and no settlement was reached. What are you shocked about? The insurer must think this is a winnable case or they would have settled. How do you explain this--you said this is the easiest case to settle.

boom goes the thread

Rib fractures and pneumothorax are nothing alike in terms of recovery.

I don't know the financial relationship between this doctor and the team. TT is suing him and his practice group so I'm assuming he is not an employee of the team, but a contractor.

hes not suing for extra medical expenses in this case

If he was told "one complication of this procedure is pneumothorax or temporary collapse of the lung", that he deserves money for this known possible outcome?

do you feel that all or any known complications should be sued over? Of course it is. It was an elective procedure, not an emergency. Unless TT can prove he was forced to have a procedure he did not agree to and did not consent to, then what is his case? How is it that you are able to "promise" us that you know the circumstances of him having this procedure?

He wasn't repairing an injury. As far I can tell it was a nerve block. Tyrod could have simply refused and played without it. When you perforated lungs before, did you tell your patients it was an unnecessary complication and simply settled all your lawsuits?

everything about his career after Buffalo ends this debate. He has routinely been replaced by rookies---this happened before the Chargers and after. are they being sued?

Explain how this is "textbook".... he did. last year

he should have just applied a balm...

clapping along in unison

He is claiming it--in fact it is the basis of his lawsuit (explicitly they are describing this as the "loss" he suffered): "As he returned to free agency," the lawsuit contends, "he entered as a back-up quarterback as opposed to a starting quarterback. The economic difference between a starting quarterback's salary and a back-up quarterback salary is at least $5,000,000 and is more than likely much greater. The exact amount of such past and future loss is unknown to [Taylor] at this time, and he will ask leave of this Court for permission to amend this Complaint to set forth the total amount when ascertained." Since he lost no wages in 2020 (he was paid 5 million whether he started the whole season or not),he is suing for the money he would have made as a "starter entering Free Agency".. This is also a dumb claim because as a free agent, the Giants had the option to make him their starter. They didn't. Prior to that, he lost his stating job in Houston--twice in one year--to a mediocre QB. He cannot prove in court that he would have been signed as a starter anywhere, as the evidence proves he could not. So his claim is baseless. Insurers will be inclined to settle if there is obvious egregiously bad care or deviation form standard practice and/or catastrophic outcome--a clearly indefensible case. The lawyers are attacking the consent--as I said, it there was none then this gets settled on that alone (but for nowhere close to what he is seeking, because those damages don't exist). If there was a consent then I bet this gets defended for the reasons above.

just sayin...not necessarily true. Plaintiff would have to prove he didn't sign the consent, he wasn't competent to sing, he was coerced to sign or he didn't understand the plain language of the consent. If there was no consent and he just walked over and did a thoracic block, then there is a case. Insurers don't like to settle cases like this. Pneumothorax is a well known complication of this procedure. TT would make an extremely unsympathetic witness in the jury box ($65 million and counting earned). Plus, as I described above, he can't make an persuasive argument that his career as a free agent starter ever existed, let alone was harmed.

He's on his 5th team in 6 seasons. The Giants just handed him over 8 million (minimum). There must have been at least 4 other doctors that have ended his career "as a starting QB". lol Defense expert will testify to the obvious: subsequent chest xrays showed resolution of pneumothorax and he could have played at that point. Charger official will testify to the obvious: even knowing that TT was ready to play, he was replaced by an an infinitely better QB. Anyone with internet access will testify to the obvious: TT lost his starting to a job to a rookie after injury Week 3 Cleveland and again, due to injury, to rookie in Houston week 2. He has never entered free agency as a starting QB. good luck !
