re: Key might not be ready for fall camp

Lol, so de we prefer a coach that says nothing, or one that says shite but has no idea?

And btw, the staff is being secretive and shady. In the past, if a player was injured, we knew they were injured. Might not know the extent, but we knew guys like Faulk were missing the entire season due to injury. There wasn't cryptic messages, we just speculated on what the injury was.

That sounds about right.

There has been but its not a popular thing to bring up after TM7

There has been and some didnt think it was credible enough to even consider.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I would not be surprised in the least bit if Key doesn't play another down for LSU. Shite just doesn't add up lately.

Oh so you are speculating? well that makes you a piece of shite fan now doesn't it?

You people do realize that we have absolutely no right to the medical details of another person? Any details that we get are absolutely at the discretion of Arden Key.
Nor does Key have to disclose private/personal matters that aren't a part of the public record.

True we don't have a right to his info, but he's an elite player at an elite program and if he chooses to not disclose info, he invites speculation and conjecture. It's just the way it is with people in the public eye.

I guarantee you he'll have to disclose it all to NFL teams.

I have no idea what kind of shoulder surgery he had, but here's my own shoulder surgery experience FWIW.

I dislocated my shoulder after an accident. Went to see a world-famous shoulder expert, who did an MRI but didn't find any structural damage (I was too sore for the doctor to really make any concrete determinations during the physical exam). Several years later, my shoulder spontaneously dislocated from very little pressure/exertion. I was living in another city and state, and went to see the shoulder orthopedist for an MLB team. He operated and found that I'd torn ~60% of my labrum. I'm related to an orthopedic surgeon and asked him after the surgery how my labrum could be so torn up without it showing up on the MRI. He said that those sorts of things just don't show up clearly on the MRI sometimes, and that the most reliable evidence was the spontaneous dislocation and subsequent physical exam.

Another important detail is that a guy who's really muscular like Key could have a shoulder issue like my labrum tear, but it would be much harder to detect via MRI and physical exam because muscle stabilizes the shoulder, meaning that he could have had a significant tear and constant pain without ever dislocating it.

And the recovery takes a little while, so I could completely see Key not wanting to have the surgery sooner because it may have seemed to him like he didn't need it, since it's possible that he had persistent pain but no dislocations. It's also possible that the recovery would've bled into fall camp anyway, so he wanted to avoid the surgery, if possible.

No idea whether my experience is applicable to Key's situation, but thought I'd share since lots of posters are saying that they don't know how or why he wouldn't have had the surgery sooner.

TLDR; shoulder injuries are complicated, so it's not unbelievable that he waited till now to have the surgery.
