Ben out for the year

He could decide to retire off this

 

Steelers just might have their first losing season since 2003.

 

Pretty sure on ESPN Radio they just said that its a 1.5 year recovery? This could very well be the end of Big Ben.

 

1.5 year recovery for what?

All I have read is that he had an MRI and needed surgery on his elbow. I haven't read anywhere detailing what is wrong

 

UCL in his elbow.

Out for the year, don't know about the 1.5 years

 

Tommy John, essentially.

If that's the case, you are correct, his career might be over.

I went through hell recovering from a torn labrum and rotator cuff in my throwing arm. I never could throw the same again.

Tommy John is an entirely different animal. And for a guy his age, not a high percentage of recovery

 

There is speculation it is his UCL.

Apparently he has had tenderness all week and it popped during the game.

Not a good scenario for him or Pittsburgh

 

On top of that this guy has been debating retirement for a year or 2. He doesn't seem like the guy who will have the determination or motivation for that type of rehab either.

 

Worse for Pittsburgh. Just gave him a huge extension. On the hook for $48.5 million if he can't play.

Thanks man!

I found it after you mentioned the UCL

 

I've been following Chao for years on Twitter. He is really, really good when it comes to looking at the video as diagnosing an injury. He nailed the Brees injury last night too IIRC.

 

Mason Rudolph time. I wonder if Mike Tomlin is still the coach next season. And if he isn't which team hires him.

 

The back end of the Jets schedule just lightened up even more:
Jaguars
Dolphins
Giants
Redskins
Raiders
Bengals
Dolphins
Ravens
Steelers
Bills

Really wish they can find a way to beat the Browns tonight.

As for Big Ben, sucks to see. Could be the end of the road for him. If so, he had a great career, but I feel with better coaching he could have had a couple more Super Bowl rings.

 

couldn't have happened to a bigger douchebag. hopefully he decides to retire

 

Texans come to mind. O'Brien has to be getting close to being on the hot seat if he isn't already.

 

Throw in the fact that the rest of this conference looks like dog shit outside of New England, Kansas City and Baltimore right now.

 

To think if Darnold didn't get mono and Mosley didn't get hurt, we'd have beaten the Bills with a shot to go 2-0 tonight. We'd still drop to 2-4 but then the only tough games left would be the Ravens and Bills.
