Rumor: Wentz to be Ready for Opener

[Manster7588]

I should have said in before Eagle fans call him drunk. I'd still would have been late though.

 

[JohnShadows]

What does booing a drunk Santa after losing out on OJ Simpson have to do with us knowing we have a superstar QB?

You got something against being drunk?

 

[SteelersPride]

Eagles have Wentz, Foles, and Nate Sudfeld. All better than anyone on the Cowboys roster. Maybe we flip Nate to Dallas for Zeke Elliott?

sudfeld is pure hype

 

[rmilia1]

Hope so. Don't want any excuses when we kick their ass in Philly opening night

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

I hope he rushes back. The level of retardedness in the Eagles organization is off the charts and will soar even higher when Wentz gets injured again.

Good call. They've been missing left and right with all their move the last few seasons.

 

[dbldwn711]

How do you know they are rushing him back?

I’m being serious here: do you know ANYTHING about ACL tear surgeries and recovery times? Just so you know I know something about it bc I tore my ACL and had it replaced with a cadaver’s ACL.

If they were to NOT rush him back, he’d be ready in December or January. If he plays in September or October, he’ll get injured again. I say his career is likely never going to be the same

I know what everyone else knows who isn’t inside Wentz’s camp and they are all saying he will be ready week 1. I don’t know you’re background but did you have a billion dollar owner backing you with the best surgeons, trainers, rehab specialist in the world?

I know you’re hoping and praying that but I trust the Eagles are smart enough to listen to his surgeons.

Hahahaha

I knew you’d say something stupid like that. Let me help:

When you tear your ACL and it has to be replaced it takes at least a year to FULLY heal. Why? Because the ligament has to be accepted by the body. No amount of money, best doctors, billionaire owners, etc can “speed that up”. Why? Because it’s science.

Following the surgery you keep your leg completely straight for at least 2 weeks. During this time period it hurts like a motherfucker. Then you begin your PT treatments. You start with slowly and gently bending it a few times a week keeping it straight in a brace the rest of the time. After that your PT consists of strengthening the leg muscles AROUND the liagemrnt. Why? To provide it with stability. It’s a ligament not a muscle so you can’t “work it out” to strengthen it. After about 6 months your PT of strengthening the muscles around the liagement is finished. All doctors will then tell you “this is the most dangerous time in the rehab process. Why? Because you feel good/strong, there’s no pain and there no more rehab BUT the ligament is not fully healed. It has not yet been fully accepted by the body. Doctors will tell you to “take it easy”. Don’t push yourself because although you feel good the process isn’t finished.

Carson Palmer tore his ACL in a playoff game. He was back on the field only 9 months later. He said “I feel fine”. I remember my doctor telling me that it’s impossible for the ligament to have FULLY healed in that short amount of time. He took a big risk “rushing” back. It paid off for him (as far as we know). If Wentz starts opening night they are by definition “rushing him back”. It may work out... it may not. We’ll see. But no amount of money or “best doctors” changes that process.

He won’t accept science as an answer. He’ll stick with “rich doctors” and then act all shocked when Wentz gets hurt in September.

I had an Eagles fan justify because the Santa dude was drunk. Like he expects us to believe has Santa been sober they'd have been civil.

Yep, all spot on. It was probably around 15 or 16 years ago when I tore my ACL and cartilage and had the surgery. So there’s probably a few slight changes during that timeframe. Only difference with mine was that they cut my patellar tendon in half to use as the ACL ligament. Was put on a machine within just a few days after the procedure that I had to use once or twice a day that gently rotated the knee to help ensure long term range of motion before starting all the PT.

Had to wait a year before actually having the surgery and played baseball during that time. It sucked because the knee felt totally fine, but everytime I tried to make a hard cut it would buckle, then swell up like a balloon.

Literally the first day I got cleared for sports again, I went to a buddy’s house to play some hoops. Then rolled and broke my other ankle from a chip on the pavement while playing.

Yikes. Big risk putting Wentz back on the field before the ligament fully heals. Seems like an idiotic move given Wentz is the future of that team.

Why not simply let Foles take the first 2-4 games?

@PhoenixEagles1 - Foles playing is the real plan. They still need to sell the tickets.

They sell out when they go 3-13

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

If Wentz wants to be on the field week 1, he needs to play a few series in preseason games.

 

[rmilia1]

So legitimately a regular person suffering this injury isn't the same as a professional athlete suffering it . F or many reasons. Fitness level, age , access to better doctors, better physical therapists and trainers etc etc. It's not crazy to think he could be back in September. Not sure why so many here think it would be . Probably a little soon but not obscenely so

 

[jarntt]

Yep... so retarded they won a SB

Wow, I thought you were Politically correct. Surprised you would use a word like that
