I don't know.

I would vote for coming back from chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkins lymphoma over coming back from a torn ACL or suspension for child abuse.

The reason for being out is irrelevant. It's how well they've played after being out for an extended period.

I utterly and totally disagree.

The reason you are out determines the EXTENT of your comeback.

AP only had to come back from being a dumbass.  Palmer had to rehab after ACL surgery, sure, but mobility isn't part of his game anyway.

You ever went through chemo?  I haven't.  But I have close friends who have.  Its a stone-cold bitch of a deal.  And then, afterwards, you condition well enough to come back at a Pro Bowl level?  THAT'S a comeback.

I'm not saying what I think it should be but what I said it was is what it is. Mike Vick won comeback player of the year after being out for dogfighting, what caused somebody to be out clearly does not matter.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By frankw · Posted

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
