Steve smith breaks arm!!!!!!!

[eViL jEsTeR]

the silver lining could be the exta reps the young guys will have with the first team in training camp and i am sure steve will still be present and vocal at camp.

who is the panthers surgeon? 2 guys with similar injuries twice.....bad luck.

OK, earlier I asked why there was no local coverage of this. If Smitty was hosting a football camp for kids, wouldn't some reporters be there?

On the other hand, he didn't know it was broken (or cracked), because he didn't go to the hospital til Sunday night.

cris carter just said he got his phone out in case we wanted to call him lol

Am I the only one hoping that he starts the season with a metal brace on his arm that can help him lay the pain on defenders?

12 weeks till opener. Smith will be learning the drills under non-contact. Aint no thing.

Ok for one why the *** would you let one of your most valueable LBs who just came off a ACL tear about 7 months ago and go out and do cuts and backpedal and risk injury. Upon that why would they not put a knee brace on him to prevent the injury from happening a second time. That is dumb to me. Then steve smith goes out and plays a flag football game after not to long ago coming off a broke arm. I ain't saying he should not have a life outside of football. But whe you are this close to training camp. Why are you going to go out and risk getting reinjuried again for a flag football game. Nowing that something could happen. It doesn't make no since why he would go out and risk his season over something dumb as that. :dupe: Point blank both of these injuries could of been avoided. But they do poo to prevent it. How dumb is this.

Well damn, He has become a fragile china doll in his old age.

His football camp ended Saturday. Could he have waited over 24 hrs with a broken arm? Possibly, I broke my hand once and waited a few days to go to the doctor.

Inmy opinion,we'll be fine. Smithy should be out of the cast in 4-5 weeks and will be able to play in the 3rd preseason game, and will be full speed and more than ready to help us baptize the new Giants stadium the same way we closed the old one.

We're fine at WR on the other side too. I will believe in Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards,until they show on the field that I shouldn't.

I still have small hopes for Jarrett, although I admit I have more faith in Kenneth Moore than Jarrett at this point.

Damn thats two broke arms in less then a year. He is def gonna have rust the first few games of the season. Thats for sure.

[ChucktownK]

FINE HIM!!!!

Arrrggghhhhh

Upon that why would they not put a knee brace on him to prevent the injury from happening a second time. That is dumb to me.

Why does everyone on this forum think knee braces are so effective? Knee braces do almost nothing to prevent ligament tears. Against the force required to tear muscles and ligaments, a little bit of foam and velcro is almost useless. Braces are mainly to help stabilize, they can't "prevent the injury from happening a second time."

Smitty, you dumb ass.

At least our rookies will get more work done during TC with the ones.
