So let me get this straight ... We're going to go on a run and make the Super Bowl without our best player, the key to our defense, and then he's going to be able to play and shut down the opposing teams #1 WR just four months after ACL surgery? K. :breakdance:
Actually, Rex was the DL coach for the best defensive line in football in 2000 and those guys were a big part of the reason the Ravens won the Super Bowl. And yeah, Rex taking the injury of his best player and tying it to a possible Super Bowl trip is kind of silly but very Rex. If an asteroid was hurtling towards earth and was going to impact in mid-December Rex would be talking about how the Jets were well positioned to be thrown into exactly the same orbit as the Super Bowl by the blast.
TO had a high ankle sprain or something like that, it certainly wasn't an ACL injury...he was out like two months. Jamaal Charles and AP did not come back in the same season, it took AP six months to start taking contact and 'that' was considered insanely fast, Revis would have to do it in four. Cutting Revis would also be detrimental to the 2013 Jets, at the very least. They're not holding off on the injury to cut him, that's a stupid theory. Where are you (at his 'cheap' salary) going to find a corner even 70-75% of Revis? Not to mention you could trade him in the offseason or early next year and get value back for him if you were so inclined. There's a billion reasons why the Jets are not cutting him, that has nothing to do with this 'suspicious' IR delay. The Jets are just a delusional organization in general, there's nothing subterranean about that.
The funniest thing about this is that the Jets had Dennis fucking Landolt taking up a roster spot while injured the first three weeks of the season and no one gave a shit. Probably because they didn't notice. Now everyone is up in arms about the roster spot. I guess it's OK to keep a shitty player who isn't going to play but a great player who isn't going to play taking up that spot is a problem.
This makes no sense. Isn't the new Injury reserve rule now in effect, where we could take him off if he got better. Granted, it is highly unlikely he could return, but why not put him on.
Here's the problem that I see,,,even if by an act of god we got to the Super Bowl,it would take another act of god for Revis to be able to play after this surgery ! He can not even have the surgery for 2 or 3 more weeks and then the recovery time takes almost a yr give or take,,,,,,my biggest problem is we need ( in my eyes ) another CB rite now. I don't know if this guy Walls can play , I don't know if Chris Carr cann pass a physical ,,hell I don't know if anyone else besides lito insert sarcasm Shepard is out there but I think Tanny should turn over every stone ,,rather than hope and pray that McKnight can play a position he does not want to be in! If Our season ain't done yet,,should Cromartie go down we might as well start looking at next years draft :beer:
He said they weren't putting him on the IR until after the surgury, and the prognosis. He will wind up on the IR, IMO.
clearly you don't know the difference between straight and crooked if that is your interpretation. what you should have stated was "let me completely misrepresent what was said..."
That no one thought he would be able to make it back from in time for the superbowl ... Granted, Revis is probably a much bigger long shot than T.O. was. Unless the doctors see something incredibly different when they cut him open than they did in the MRI.
Rod Woodson tore his ACL in week 1 in 1995 and came back for the Super Bowl. it is a long shot for Revis, but it isn't as if Rex's decision is without precedent. if the Jets can make it to the Super Bowl, it is certainly worth keeping the option available of having Revis for the game rather than completely eliminating it.
You realize we could still have Denis Landolt on our roster if it weren't for Tanny and this ridiculous shit of keeping Revis active? That roster spot is important!
There's probably some crazy clause in Revis' contract that if the Jets reach the SB and Revis is on the active roster he agrees to play for the Jets for free for the next 10 yrs! Either that or Tanny is waiting to see the outcome of Revis' surgery.....if it's a 1 yr+ prognosis, Tanny will trade/release him.
they don't give a time prognosis after you have surgery. after a few months of rehab they can gauge where you are, but before that the prognosis is simply the standard for the procedure -- which can be anywhere from 6-12 months. unless he has an infection or the surgery just doesn't work and his graphs don't take, at worst Revis will be playing game 1 next season.
They've paid Revis for the year and see no reason to throw away the asset in the absence of other strong reasons to do so. It's not like the 53rd guy on the Jets roster is ever a difference maker anyway.
