I don’t buy it.
Why not? If they think he’s a bust, might as well get what you can.

I agree. I could definitely see the 9ers go for it, what I have a tough time believing is that someone else would pony up that type of offer for it to actually happen.Why not? If they think he’s a bust, might as well get what you can.
They must feel confident that Brock will fully recover from his injury. I really hope so.
Or they really are trading for Rodgers.They must feel confident that Brock will fully recover from his injury. I really hope so.
I had a complete tear of the rotator cuff not all that long ago, which was kind of a cluster*** (not going to get into it all here). It was not the same, but similar issues, including swelling and a long delay in the operation in my case. It took me longer afterward in physical therapy in part because the associated muscle hadn't been used for so long.
I hope Brock is ready to go first thing next season. But I nearly posted before that you don't want to push things too much.
The surgeon and I discussed it previously, but in our last appointment prior to the operation, we talked about the recovery and physical therapy. I have a lot of experience running and lifting, and am familiar with how to do it -- gradually in a step like manner in both, gradually increasing amounts week to week, and month to month, and resting, and such. Also, it takes connective tissue longer to adjust. You go gradually, because your muscles gain strength faster than the connective tissue. You risk injury if you do what your muscles are capable of but the connective tissue isn't prepared for yet. You risk having to start over at square one.
So I went quite a while telling the surgeon about all that, which was all true.
His response was simply "you need to let it heal." It was everything I said and more. In my case, it also had to be reattached to the bone.
It all went well in the end. Brock is quite a bit younger than me, which helps.
Feel your pain, I just had rotator cuff repair for a complete tear on Oct 3rd, still healing up. Graduated from therapy after over 30 sessions a few weeks ago, back in the gym now with limitations. Absolutely right, step by step.
No fun. I know, though I have avoided R Sh surgery up to this point. My R shoulder is functional, just have to be very careful, have had to since early 20's, several injuries. Has hurt to throw a baseball, for example, and other things, for many years, so I haven't.Shoulders are the worst. I had a torn capsule in high school from pitching. Did rehab for 2 years before I finally had surgery on it, was in a sling for a month and 2 more months of rehab after that. That was 25ish years ago at this point. Now I get cortisone shots in my shoulder every few months so I can sleep at night.
Sorry to hear that. From what I have seen, get the surgery if you have adequate coverage. I am amazed at the results with people I know,No fun.

This year I am making (I think) the commitment to learning how to throw with my L hand. I am starting to ge encouraged, getting better at it, to the point where I think I can do it. I've been throwing the stick (fetch game) with our dog, and heaving it quite a ways now, farther than my right! Next, I want to get a used lefty baseball glove.
I just know if I overdo my R sh, I may need surgery, and want to avoid it.
You remembered we have a Dachshund! Edit: I forgot I have a flying Weiner in my Avatar now! Yes, they are great! Our lady is about 12 now, but can't walk well, good enough for short walks only, sometimes only 10 feet if she doesn't want to go, sometimes 100', if motivated. She had to have back surgery years ago and never got full use back, of her legs, since. It was worse, prior to the surgery. We were happy to have her for 7-8 more years, or whatever it's going to be. Still counting.Sorry to hear that. From what I have seen, get the surgery if you have adequate coverage. I am amazed at the results with people I know,
BTW Love the Dachshund! I've had 13 dogs in my life and those guys are the best.
Ok, I read something about this yesterday and now it's blowing up as a "real" story.

Reports: Brock Purdy could miss 2023 season
Former Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy could miss the entire 2023 NFL season, according to comments he made during an interview with Yahoo Sports.www.kcci.com
Just wait until Randy gets ahold of this.
But when a reporter actually reviews all the info and puts everything into context this is what you get.
I think it’s reasonable to say he’s starting by October 1. Use September to get the arm fully healedMaybe this should be forwarded to KCCI and to Randy. Brock was answering a different question. The original article is almost criminal in how they presented what he said.
