Mac Jones Injury Video [UPDATE - X-Rays were negative]

[JayNM]

You know why those half dozen threads dont carry that type of baggage? because those threads are about football, unlike this one which quickly turned... you know, your posts, venecols posts, etc... the usual Tampa Bro squad

So Yes, let us indeed focus on a couple of posters who hopped right in and crapped all over an injured player...

I will start with you... What the **** was that all about, those ***** ass snarky comments about Macs injuries? oh and in case I forget Let me be specific - Oh wait I cant - because a metric **** ton of your posts in this thread have been deleted


gee I wonder why ... so pardon me, because I dont mean to be rude because i like you and mostly when you talk about football you say good things - but gtfo with that "so put upon just because we root for another team" attitude ... Its beyond tiresome watching you guys do the same **** in thread after thread

I like your style Pape

He's one tough cookie

He definitely has the lingo down. He didn't crack under questioning.

A whole two minutes…wow, you really do love responding to me…

Stealing my material, Pork?

In 7th grade this 200 pound obese black girl was picking on me about my highwater jeans. I told her to shut up. She slapped me. I punched her in the face.

The following 30 second beatdown she gave me was the most pain I've ever felt in my life. Not physical pain. The pain to my soul.

...

Anyways yeah speedy recovery Mac!

Hard to believe he has any shot at playing. I doubt we win this game either way, so if for some reason he wants to play, we’d be dumb to put him in unless the ankle is fantastic.

He doesn’t. But the cloak and dagger needs to happen I guess. “I’m just taking it day by day” is a BB thing even though this guy could watch the injury and tell you he wouldn’t be playing…

This looks like a level 3 sprain. That means the tendon has been torn. You can't walk on a level 3 sprain. Seeing that Mac could not walk on it, even when they brought him into the locker room, leads me to believe that.
There is a good chance that he may need surgery.
I'm not a doctor. I haven't examined Mac. However I have learned more about ankle sprains from orthopedic surgeons than I ever thought that I would.

He'll definitely get surgery, but not the traditional surgery we're used to.

The tightropes that fixed Tua and other Alabama ankles

Tua Tagovailoa's impressive recovery from a high ankle sprain has brought a wave of attention to Alabama doctors’ preferred surgery technique.

12 year old me was ashamed but 20 years later I know the deck was stacked against me she had twice my body weight and probably 10 times the fighting experience. I never had a chance.

The amount of attention some people are pushing on how Mac reacted to his injury is astounding. Who cares? It's not like he broke down and cried and refused to leave the field and called for an ambulance. He hopped off by himself immediately and got helped to the locker room. Whatever faces he made doing it, what in the world does it matter? And you're going to somehow draw conclusions about him as a player and a man based on his expression as he hopped off the field from his high ankle sprain? It just seems like you're speaking from a predisposition of disliking the player in the first place to me.

Were you still defiant afterwards?

I agree, ii just started reading this thread. WTF does it matter if he was yelling after the tackle.

Everyone has a different pain tolerance. Twenty years ago my was walking up some stairs and collapsed in front of me. I ran ran to her and asked if she was OK, she said yeah, i thought she tripped but she said no, she hadden't. I started to help he up she told me she couldn't stand, she couln't put wgt on her right leg. I eventually got her up the stairs and she sat on a bench on the porch. I asked if she was in pain, she told me 'no' it turned out she had a broken hip.

I'm as behind Mac Jones as anyone, but was not happy with his exit yesterday.

Team players have spent the past few weeks reiterating, "Mac is our leader."

It's just not a good look for a football team's leader. I understand screaming in pain initially, but by the time you get to the locker room, a leader should get it together.

It also was symbolic to me of the way Mac has been playing as well, which is with out of control emotion rather than as a composed leader. I still think Mac can be a top 10 QB in this league, but he has to grow up in the sense of controlling his play on the field, which his reaction after the injury symbolized to me.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!

Finally found the thing I was looking for from Mac’s draft profile “jokers wild”.

”For Hereford, Jones' ascent to a feared Joker was marked by a crushing hit he absorbed in a 2019 Citrus Bowl win over Michigan that foretold his dominance in 2020. Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, flagged for roughing the passer on the play, leveraged his body weight to drive Jones' head into the turf.
One of Jones' molars split into pieces. He was spitting blood and chunks of his tooth. A commemorative jersey patch was half torn by Hutchinson's hit, and Jones ripped it off and tossed it to the turf.
Trainers stepped toward him; Jones yelled for them to stay off the field, and he didn't miss a play.
"I thought he was dead," Hereford said. "But he'd waited three years to get hit like that, and everyone on the sideline could relate. That was the Joker. You can't kill him. He looks over like, 'Let's go, what's the next play?' It was legendary."”

This is the dude that cracked a tooth and spat blood, yet stayed in the game. I have ZERO questions about his toughness and neither should any of you. I highly suspect with how competitive he is it was a combination of being pissed about the interceptions, bad plays, losing AND being afraid he was done for the year. More emotional pain then physical pain, though I am sure there was plenty of that too. Still, dude hopped off under his own power cuz despite what the internet tough guys will tell you he is a BAMF.

Time for me to stop reading this **** here.
Some great posters but the BS is unbearable.

Let’s not forget that the pats didn’t win a SB for 10 years with both Tom and Bill.
It’s hard to win in this league.

 

[ensoul]

I received an alert on my phone saying he's going to miss multiple games.

I have to agree. There is much to like about Mac. I won’t gloss over the mistakes ; this season’s already included many that were hard to watch. But, while I’m not as high on him as I was mid season last year, I think you can win with Mac. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Of course Bill wants him back ASAP, dam the caution... Papa Bear & the hated Shula beckon...
