We are a better team with CMC and Horn.

That said, we scored more points without CMC than with him.  We scored 17 without CMC.  We scored 7 with him.  

They scored more points when we had Horn, 6, than when Horn was out 3.

Now situational football drove that, but the next guy up, stepped up.  Chubba, Royce and Sam stepped up.  Brady called better and the D held their ground.

True, but I'm just pointing out, everyone and every bone heals differently.  And with it being more than one bone broken, that makes the injury as a whole more complex.  Now you're not just checking for healing in one bone, you're treating and following up multiple.  I just think that's more concerning than if it was one bone.

Not only that but a Jones fracture ( 5th metatarsal fracture) takes longer to heal because it has a poorer blood supply than the rest of the foot.  of course I am certain Horn will be given every treatment option to speed the process and one thing that will speed the process is the insertion of a screw to stabilize the bone.  So I would guess he is going in for surgery if he has a Jones fracture.  And the soonest he would be available to play again would be 8 weeks.

Wow, you read my mind.  I dont know much about these injuries, but as I was typing that, I even thought in regards to my "bones heal differently," that blood flow/supply to certain bones may be different depending where they are...  but, I had no idea that was actually the case if thats what he is dealing with.  Wow.

Again, I just really hope what we've heard is the absolute worst case scenario and hasn't been confirmed.  Hopefully the news is better than we expect.

I broke that bone in my right foot once, even after I had the cast off I had discomfort for several more weeks and could not put full pressure on it

even if he's cleared to come back this season I wouldn't want him to since he's not going to be in playing shape after 6 to 8 weeks of hobbling around

I broke my 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th metatarsal a couple years back.  So I have my own experience with how different bones heal differently.  I also hope he doesnt have a lisfranc injury as well cause that could make it worse by requiring more extensive surgery.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.

      Look at his snap counts, your telling me that his entire college and pro football career every coach he has had has misused him? No offense but I don’t think you understand the role of a slot corner. Mike Jackson is the literal definition of an outside zone corner, he would be totally inept as a slot corner. Ala why he has been an outside corner his entire career.
