Suffered a non-contact leg/knee injury during practice. Was supposedly so bad they cancelled practice and EMS had to rush to the scene. Career-ender?

sounds like it was really bad, rip

also :lol at DD's comment... i cant think of many other situations where a starting QB goes down and it has zero impact in fantasy

rumor mill is suggesting it could be a career ender... the fact that an ambulance was needed is scaring people. theories are its a bad dislocation, which theoretically can tear all the ligaments in the region and cut off blood flow, which is why an ambulance was needed. if there is a blood flow issue it has to be resolved before amputation becomes necessary

none of this is concrete, its speculation, but throwing it out there

could also be a leg fracture like we saw with that ncaa dude a couple years back

Man that sucks for Teddy - I didn't think he was great, but seemed like a good QB with a good head on his shoulders. They have no back up at all there. This is trouble for them despite Teddy not being a guy who "wins" them games. He did enough.

The Vikes win because of a stud RB/defense, their 31 ranking passing offense, nay.

TB had a very average 2015 season. The Vikes can win without him.

Damn. Terrible luck for the Black Chad Pennington. Hope he makes a full recovery ASAP.

Well, that's water under the bridge I guess. Sucks because I hate the Quackers with all my heart and I really hoped the Vikings would give them some competition this year.

ACL tear. Out for the season but definitely could've been much worse.

dislocated knee as well, which means a lot of other things got fucked up. probably other torn ligaments too, mri will confirm

Knee dislocation isn't a big deal, tbh..

He'll be fine.

When I read "significant injury" immediately I thought Kevin Ware or Paul George. :lol

Man...I don't remember that. He was a damn good runner. From the description of his injury:


McCallum suffered a complete hyperextension of his left knee, almost to a right angle. He suffered a ruptured artery in his left knee, and tore three ligaments, tore the calf and hamstring from the bone, and suffered nerve damage in the knee. He initially thought he'd only face a lengthy rehab, but McCallum's surgeon told him that there was no chance of him ever being medically cleared to play again. The surgeon said that he normally didn't see leg injuries this severe except in car accidents. Had the surgery not gone as planned, there was a chance his left leg would have been amputated

Bridgewater's injury isn't nearly as bad as McCallum's. No ruptured artery or nerve damage. It's bad, but not that bad.

^to put that in perspective, this is what that typically looks like (this isn't teddy's personal x-ray, obviously, but one of the same injury)

another bqb of the "golden age" bites the dust after pryor became a receiver or something, griffin became a joke, crapernick became a muslim terrorist.. i guess cum and wilson are the only ones that still remain stable starters, and they are both known more for choking a superbowl than anything else..

my boy stafford :lol... the only guy i sticked my nose to bet on was derek carr and you should know that.. other than that i am no expert and i can just judge what i see in a prospect. i can easily say that stafford throws the ball better than any bqb, that doesn't mean he's going to win the superbowl or even win a game for that matter. i don't even like him all that much tbh so i'm not really sure why would you think he is my boy. that doesn't dispute the fact that the golden age of bqb has been revealed to be a giant fart and qb is still a position where white guys dominate the scene today and for the time being.
