I don't see what's so wrong about saying it. Dude was this close to losing the leg altogether. Obviously you can recover from it, but the chances of getting it back to the shape it was in before the wreck are slim to none. I think Eiffel he really wants to stay the football route, his best bet would be to bulk up and try and play linebacker. He was much better at LSU when he was blitzing from the edge as opposes to dropping back in coverage anyway. But, I think baseball is his best bet. He's a lefty that can throw a low 90s fastball and has a good breaking ball, that's very valuable to teams.

Look, I hope he proves me wrong and will be the first to admit I was wrong if he does, but I just don't see this being the fairy tale ending that everyone is hoping for.

Nothing, except that its a little far-fetched. When was the last time he played baseball? 2009? Dude hasn't picked up a baseball in 3-4 years and you think he can just pick up and ball and start hurling in the low 90's with good accuracy? He pitched a total of what, like 4 innings in 2009? Its just far fetched to say oh yeah he should be in MLB, he pitched 4 innings 4 years ago but looked really sharp.

I won't go the derogatory route Broski, but have comment to your post.
This is one of those instances where it's better to put aside the quest to be right and just root for the man in whichever endeavor he choses.
I see no room for naysayers on this subject.
All hail Chad Jones for his determination even if he happens to fall short.
