Mr. WEO

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 He has routinely been replaced by rookies---this happened before the Chargers and after.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 !

Tyrod should have had someone read him the procedure consent....

An adult has entered the room....

any topic is 2 or 3 thread-worthy here...minimum!

Mid September and already with the weather worries lol

The triangle is used to mark cycles? Would circles do that better? Man just how high was he when he tweeted this stuff?!

I'm pretty sure they will also accept public funds

People keep exaggerating TT's injury (pneumothorax)--he easily could have resumed fully activity and been right back as practice as the starter the next dya. The reason Herbert is the starter since that day is because it took a freak incident for the Chargers to realize that you put your top 10 draft pick QB out there and let him play. The Bills had a similar (and sooner--Week 1 at halftime) "realization"--not because their starter was injured, but because their starter was Nate Peterman. Probably won't get worse, but won't get better either.

they should just switch to the other game after the Bills on ESPN. For those without ESPN plus

Completion %? That's what you have? lol He's 21-10 at home 19-12 on the road. He's 3-0 in January. All of his playoff wins are on the road. All his playoff wins are at home...in the Ralph....in January. Truly severe weather affects any game so rarely and Josh Allen, of all QBs in the NFL, is the most perfected created QB for such weather that your argument makes no sense at all.

what were all of the extreme weather games I missed? Allen's worst game was playoffs vs Houston. Weather was not an issue....

I’m talking about coaching wins. Offensive mastermind Kyle Shanahan can’t get the wins with his 49ers without Jimmy G as QB.
