Ben has "some doubt" he'll play again...

I'll believe it when I see it, but it's not good that he hasn't even thrown yet.

 

Actually, it takes +- 6 months to start throwing after the kind of injury and procedure Ben had.
He's no spring chicken, so he must take it step by step.

More credible news will come around april-may 2020.

Meanwhile, patience, young padawan.

 

Prob sees himself on the jumbo Tron during games and realizes what a fat slob he's actually become

 

ESPN click bait

 

There's really no news here... It's all just speculation and hearsay. And as was mentioned above, he's not supposed to be throwing, nor does he need to be.

 

Is Bleacher Report credible? I dont know enough about this outlet but it suckered me to click. I remember Ben was asked after the Pats game his thoughts and he said something that sounded dramatic like maybe he doesnt have it anymore?

 

All good points. And moreover, Ben is Ben. He's always made statements like this that turn out to be smokescreen.

(Good to know about the timetable for throwing btw, didn't realize that)

 

Wouldn't surprise me. Also wouldn't surprise me to see him play every game in 2020.

Judging from the sideline shots he better start riding the stationary bike an hour or so a day if he wants to be in any shape whatsoever come training camp.

 

Somebody please buy Ben a Peloton for Christmas.

 

Looking how Ben got hurt from a non contact related injury is something that boggles my mind about Brady...remember his Combine? Not exactly a Combine freak.

I get it that ..Brady doesnt take a sack and throws the ball away but he still took some shots this past weekend and popped right back up.

I mean...could that just be TB 12 vitamin water?

Or how about those shots he took int he SB against the Falcons.

His body doesnt look at all freakish but there has to be something he is doing under the radar.

Eddleman uses the TB12 system and the urine was dirty with something.

Mike Vick was a physically gifted QB as they get and when he was getting sacked as a Steeler he barely got back up and he was not in his 40s.

Brady had a span of years where he could not throw the out 20 yards...then on opening day against the Chiefs he is throwing the ball 50+ yards?

Just like Peyton had video game numbers after the neck injury for Denver and then couldnt throw 20 yards.

snake oil or the fountain of Football GOAT?

 

He's watched the OL this year. Maybe he's aiming to be the first hybrid Guard/QB in NFL history

 

“I talked briefly to Roethlisberger after the Bills game. He told me he is “ahead of schedule” with his rehab from elbow surgery in September,” -- Ron Cook

 

There should be some doubt. It's far from certain he ever plays again. A severe, non-contact injury to an aging QB who isn't known for his focus on staying in shape would sometimes result in a career ending situation. Whether that happens with Ben or not, who knows, but there's no certainty regarding his future. He's going to need to put some serious work in or he's going to be flat out terrible. Brady puts a ton of work in and has fallen off a cliff. Father time punishes everyone

 

What a garbage article in that it never offers an explanation of WHY Ben feels the way he does, WHY he is concerned. Websites should be embarrassed to even write an “article” like this.
None of my post is meant to argue that Ben will or will not play next year, but rather that this article is a waste and should not be read

 

Rivers in decline, Eli almost gone, Ben is more likely done than we would like to admit

 

In Saturday's game Edelman was laying on the ground as if he was knocked out by the defender until the flag flew and then he popped up like the Undertaker. It was funny and sickening at the same time.

 

I am pretty sure Edleman screwed up. He was pulled from the game to go in the blue tent. I overheard a Patsy fan at the bar saying he was in concussion proto. Hearsay mind you.

 

A terrible Ben will still be better than a good Rudolph or a great Hodges.

 

Maybe the NFL needs a penalty for flopping ala NBA

 

Bleacher Report is like TMZ. I don't even have to read the article.

 

Ben and Pouncey's swan song is to swap positions. Ben is bulking up and Pouncey is working on his fast ball.

 

We are doomed.

 

For more than the game and a half he gave us this year?
