Our defense is damn tired.

Our defense was never tired.

They faced 57 snaps. Most players played around 45 at most.

yeah he's in the trevor knight/jackson arnold class of qb's.
all we needed this season was a good not great qb.....and we ended up with another bust.
he needs to move on next season or take a massive pay cut.
i'd prefer he move on. give next year's defense a qb to be proud of.

His passer rating is almost identical to Arnold’s last season. Mateer has thrown far more picks, but has thrown for a lot more yards and doesn’t fumble like Arnold. When you consider that Arnold didn’t have a quarterback coach and the ineptitude of our OC last season, in a lot of ways I’d say it’s a wash. Like I said yesterday, Mateer has a better defense and kicker.

When did I push the time line back? Go read my posts in this thread, I've always said it'll be after the season before he's healthy.

Google can be your friend. Or go ask a doctor. Pretty much any thumb surgery the MINIMUM time frame given for full recovery is 3-6 months.

I'll do the math for you, three months from the date of surgery is Christmas Eve. That's the earliest date I've heard or seen from anybody or anywhere.

Generic from the internet:

Weeks 8–12: Most patients achieve full motion, and athletes can begin a gradual return to sports activities. Full strength recovery can take up to 6 months.

He's was at 9 weeks and a couple of days on Saturday.

But sure, he's fully recovered and 100% healthy. <insert eye roll reaction to ignorance and bias>

Just admit you were wrong about BV and stop trying to keep making excuses and pick apart a pretty damn good team. Struggling offense or not.

Excuses excuses excuses excuses. you’re in the minority here bud. You’re the only one dying on the “it’s the thumb” hill.

And if we’re talking about BV, I’ve been a big supporter of BV from day one. Go back and look at MY post history.

It doesn’t matter though because they’re in the playoffs! Anything can happen now. Just enjoy the ride.

My wife and I went to the South Carolina game, and we both chuckled at the amount of time the players stand around during TV timeouts, and such. I never really noticed it watching from home. I know they play their absolute tails off, but I will never contribute bad play to tiredness. Assuming they're in football shape and such.
