re: We don't talk enough about how absolutely bizarre this Myles Brennan injury situation is

I think the "questionable" designation was more of O, initially, being a bit optimistic than anything else. It clearly wasn't a broken bone or torn ligament injury that was pretty easy to diagnose.

I spoke with someone who is very tied in with the team doctors when it seemed like Brennan was "questionable" every week and was told very early on the injury was season ended and that the decision to hold him out the rest of the year had already been made (though not announced). This was before the USC game. That is was a torn oblique, but kind of a rare instance of one. I think the medical staff treaded cautiously to try to avoid surgery.

As to whether or not Brennan is ready to go now, I don't know. Oblique injuries aren't very common in football. They are very common in baseball though. Suffered many times when batter swing and miss due to the torque the muscles have to endure in that motion. A strained oblique can be 2-4 weeks. If there was a tear I suspect the time frame for recovery is much longer.

IMO, I think Brennan and LSU wanted to avoid surgery so they just chose to let the injury heal on its own. Opining that it was a fairly severe injury, the recovery time via that method of treatment was probably extended. If he's out at the start of spring ball then I'd be concerned this may be a permanent issue that isn't going away. But until then I wouldn't get overly worked up

I have, try being a Yankees fan lol. Happened with Jacoby Ellsbury, James Paxton, Tanaka etc.

It really is some weird shite. I feel bad for Brennan

I think it was much worse than was originally thought. That’s ok. I think Max Johnson is going to be great.

Probably was misdiagnosed initially and when it didn’t get better than ran him through more tests. You also have to wait on the test results after the tests. Then you have to discuss the results with the athlete and determine what the athlete wants to do. It isn’t always so cut and dry. Surgery or no surgery. Then sometimes they may want to try rehab first to heal on it’s own before going under the knife. I think you forget about spring ball for him and honestly I wouldn’t want him practicing to the fall anyway

How has this thread gone 4 pages without anybody checking you on all the exaggerated dates. Myles was injured October 10, it’s now February 1st, that’s 16 weeks from the date.

Why does 20 people downvote this


Seriously, some of you stupid fricks would downvote Santa Claus giving away free chicken wings, cold beer and whores with big titts.



Good question op.

We just offered another 2021 QB .... Cole Lourd

I thought it was odd as well but I remember rumors of possible surgery after the season which could greatly change the time of recovery.

Myles is probably done I see we offered a 2021 quarter back from California
