Tribusky is going to be a good football player. He can throw a rope. Has good pocket awareness and running ability too.

Watson has been impressive, but I doubt that Texans team ever does anything of note in the AFC. Your talking about first round playoff exits for the next few years, maybe even missing the playoffs if Luck can get healthy. The Patriots, Steelers, Broncos,and Chiefs would rape Houston in a road playoff game,for the foreseeable future.

Worse 49er team in 40 years. Its actually starting to become tragic. I want the high draft pick obviously, but this team is historically inept. Im actually surprised I thought Shanahan would win like 4 games at least. They will be lucky to lead in any game for the rest of the year never mind win one.

There’s talk that Lucks career is over.

I think it might be. I heard this morning he gets pain when trying to throw. Way to go coaches ruining another QB trying to play them hurt.

Yeah this wouldn't surprise me. He was seriously injured what... 2 seasons ago? And somehow played most of that season.

When i saw Millers injury, the way his leg just give out like that upon planting it. I feared he might have had the same injury I had back in summer 2016. It seems that is the case. I just feel terrible reading this as i would never wish that upon my worse enemy.

Sounds like from the report he is having a Fasciotomy - Wikipedia . They told me it was 50/50 on saving my leg, although i wound up keeping it. it's super likely he will have nerve damage. It left me with a paralyzed foot that i could eventually walk on but it would be a miracle if he ever played football again regardless if he keeps the leg or not.

Damn, it's painful to see someone have to go through that. Just hope they can keep his leg and the docs let the drugs flow.

Is this similar to what happened to Robert Edwards in that dumb pro bowl beach football game?

Sorta, in the sense both caused bad vascular, and likely nerve damage that nearly cost each man a leg.I don't recall that injury enough to know if it's the same thing but the video looks similar.

Doctors and nurses told me this injury mostly happens to big musclebound men, I'm about 6ft, 2in and decently big for my size and they said I was one of the smallest they've seen it happen to size wise. They said they have been seeing it happen far more recently as apparently taking a bunch of creatine, and possibly other supplements make it more likely to happen.

Everytime I see a bad leg injury I get a bit sick now. The recent Gordon Hayward one made me almost throw up but Millers injury is far worse. If you look at the bottom pic in the Wikipedia entry I linked above. That's like a best case scenario or how the guys leg will look in a few weeks.

Seahawks trade Jeremy Lane a 2018 5th rounder and 2019 2nd rounder for Duane Brown. I am cautiously optimistic this works out for us.

Not a bad move. Wilson works magic back there, I can't imagine how well he'd play behind a decent line.

I mean obviously he is an immediate upgrade to that offensive line. I think the 2nd rounder is a bit steep, but it isn't like they had a lot of choice when that line is so awful.

Yeah... I am just hoping it doesn't turn into a Graham situation where it takes us 2 years to figure out he is there and we still only use him sometimes...

Wonder if that will work out for them. Hard to be a good QB on a bad team.
