C.Biscuit97 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Amazing story. I still think he is a low level nfl start. His arm is too weak. But awesome that he made it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy is traditional. He's a lot like Peterman/McCarron, just better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, TB is more of a pocket passer and Tyrod has a much stronger arm. As limited as he is, I feel like he would be an upgrade to AJ and Peterman but won’t throw a draft pick to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A compound fracture is when there is an open wound, generally when bone pierces through the skin. It is referred to as "compound" because the open wound compounds the injury due to the soft tissue trauma and increased risk of infection. Bridgewater had a knee dislocation (not a kneecap dislocation), which is a full disarticulation of the tibia from the femur. It has massive trauma to the internal knee structure, which can include any number of bone contusions, ligament damage, tendon damage, and/or vascular damage. Not only was that video but a compound fracture, but Teddy's injury was not a fracture either. **Btw Royale, you were correct in saying that Teddy's injury was much worse than that video. Teddy would have been lucky to have just a fracture** I actually would like to see the video. Because I have absolutely no idea how he had all that damage from a non contact injury. I know it happens with ACLs all the time, but they say this type of thing is usually in car accidents, etc. It really makes no sense to me.

Augie Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Go Teddy! I mean, go OUT OF NY, and go have a great career! What a difficult recovery, both physically and mentally. Have to pray for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well end up being better than Cousins (who I like) and won't cost $84 million, or whatever ridiculous fully guaranteed money they gave him. I guess they were not confident that he could fully recover from the injury. Nice play by the Jests to pick him up for $10 M. Good insurance for Darnold/McCown (and they didn't have Darnold at the time of the signing) or they can flip him for a draft pick. I was hoping the Bills would pick him up, but Allen is looking good, so I am happy with how it is playing out for us. Because before the injury, he was a 3000 yard 14 TD a year QB. I still don't understand the Bridgewater legend making here. He was TT minus the significant running threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard pivot, blew ligaments like in a normal ACL cutting injury, and the hard pivot with a planted foot and cleats led to the femur translating off the tib plateau. That's the only thing I can think of how it would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports after the injury from eyewitnesses stated that players who saw it or looked at it, turned away, and several nearly fainted, as several others vomited from the traumatic scene.

Crazy. I thought dislocating my kneecap was bad enough. This was when I found out that I didn't dislocate my knee. I always thought they were the same thing.
