For those Matt Gutierrez fans...

Matt Gutierrez is probably entering his last days here. He just doesn’t look comfortable in the pocket and threw more interceptions and balls into traffic today. He’s worked his tail off, there’s no question about that. But he’s miles away from being an NFL quarterback right now, and it’s fair to ask whether he’ll ever be one.

Pretty damning statement.

If he has a boot on then he has to have had some kind of setback in his recovery because otherwise he would be pretty close to being ready to go (if not already).

Wow I found this list which shows soccer players who broke bones in their feet and how long it took for them to recover. Look at the disparities between how long the expected and actual returns are.

Michael Owen (2006): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 6-8 weeks returned 17 weeks later
Wayne Rooney (2004): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 8 weeks returned 14 weeks later
David Beckham (2002): Second metatarsal - predicted 6 weeks returned 7 weeks later
Gary Neville (2002): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 6-8 weeks returned 21 weeks later
Ashley Cole (2005): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 6-8 weeks returned 12 weeks later
Scott Parker (2004): Second metatarsal - predicted 8 weeks returned 34 weeks later
Danny Murphy (2002): Second metatarsal - predicted 6 weeks returned 21 weeks later
Steven Gerrard (2004): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 6-8 weeks returned 10 weeks later

Thomas broke his at the end of May so it's been about 14-15 weeks.

Curt Schilling wore a protective boot on his foot when he showed up for his 2004 ALCS start. How did that turn out?

Re: For Those Matt Gutierrez Fans . . .

Before we write off Gutierrez we might wish to ponder whom he was working against and which reserves were teamed with him. It's also reasonable to note how Tom Brady was reported doing in his first Training Camp - see Malloy, Lawyer and Brady, Tom in the 2001 America's Game program by NFL Network. Albert's probably right that Gut is making poor decisions, but he wasn't signed as a top five draft pick either. The kid I watched against Tampa Bay wasn't that bad.

That's like comparing a water buffalo to an aardvark. No more Desperate Housewives references, please.

Who’s hot:

Matt Gutierrez – With Brady nowhere in sight, the third-stringer moved up a notch and got many more opportunities than is normally the case. Generally he did a nice job with them making some nice throws in traffic, the most impressive of which went to tight end Brian Jones in the back of end zone with several blue shirts in the vicinity.

Hmmm... I'm confused.

could he have played football and for how long?

This doesn't seem like the typical Breer article. Though he's human, he usually has his facts straight.

– Newcoming TE Brian Davis actually opened some eyes with a catch in the back of the end zone today, leaping over Ellis Hobbs and keeping his feet in along the end line for a touchdown.

Who is Brian Davis?? I know the Pats signed TE Brian JONES. But I've not heard of Brian Davis.

Unless he beats out Cassell he's destined for the PS. We will need at least one QB on the PS just to keep Brady's arm fresh and from what I read (and seen) he hasn't been doing so badly enough to require being cut.
