billsfanmiami(oh) Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I really hope (and would obviously expect) that the Bills and TKO will not make the same mistakes that the Jets did with Pennington. From most accounts, it seems like they downplayed the severity of the injury last year and Chad continued to play troughout the playoffs (and probably cause more damage). Also, it seems like maybe they let Chad's competitive spirit get the best of him and get back in there too early. If I remember correctly, he didn't even start throwing until sometime in camp, then was playing against NFL competition a few weeks later. I know TKO is a warrior and will agressively rehab this injury and want to get back out on the field as soon as he can next year. I just hope that they are smart and have patience about the situation. As much as it stinks, I'd rather have TKO back halfway through next season than rush him back for training camp and have a repeat injury. I mean Pennington's career is quite possibly over and it seems like mis-management of his initial injury may be to blame. It'd be a shame to have the same thing happen to TKO who like Pennington, is an all around stand up guy. He exemplifies everything I want to see in a player on my favorite team: heart, intensity, accountability, and genuine love for the game and fans. Here's to a full recovery for TKO!

GG Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 A better indication of what can happen is Sam Cowart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 A better indication of what can happen is Sam Cowart. 456249[/snapback] Â A More upbeat perspective of what can happen is Julian Peterson who is off to statistically the best start of a season in his career after tearing his achilles last season.

Zamboni Man Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Considering the patience they had with Willis, I won't be too worried about how they handle Takeo's recovery. That being said...get well TKO, we need to get your supreme @$$ kicking machine self back out on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Look what happened to Ronald Curry out in Oak. He ruptured his achilles last year and then did the same thing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven in MD Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 TKO will never be the same again. If they are cautious with TKO as they were with WM, then I do not expect to see TKO next season. I think TKO will be in camp next year, just a step slower than this year.
