Did he even play enough to be able to claim CTE?

And yeah, the Incognito thing is a valid question. Sad to say somebody will probably go interview him and ask his opinion.

I'm honestly not sure Incognito is smart enough to understand that somebody he pushed around a little too much might someday come back and visit him while carrying a gun.

Yes. CTE is often the result of repeated head trauma. Not necessarily big trauma either, constant small hits to the head build it up. Aaron Hernandez was said to have the most severe case they had ever seen in a 27 year old, and he had been in jail for some time not taking hits to the head. It is very possible that Martin has some degree of CTE.

Terrible situation. Everyone has a breaking point. Kids are merciless in teasing and as adults we generally aren't much better as a species. If you've ever been bullied before you know that at some point the only thing you think about is some way to make it stop. It's a sad reality for far too many people. 

That, and the sad truth that the more things like this happen and get splashed all over the news, the more some misguided soul starts to see it as a viable option.

Obviously, you can't keep things like this out of the public eye. Still...

To be fair though, Hernandez was a POS long before he played pro or even college football.

It would surprise me if he didn't. He's always found a way to portray himself as the victim.

I don't want to be somebody that calls Martin a pansy or a coward or anything like that (we had a few of those on here) but it is valid that he didn't exactly take a lot of responsibility for his own performance.

I got the feeling that the inside of his head was a very scary place.

Poor little snowflake.  *sniff*

Ol' Richie Incognito really hurt his feelings, guys.  He said mean things and picked on him and stuff.

The victim mentality displayed by Martin and many, many others in our country is a genuine mental illness.  

There was ALWAYS something "off" about Martin and that whole situation, and this just proves it.

Being a victim is not a mental illness. Being tortured relentlessly for years can absolutely have an effect on your psyche. Are there people that say they're a victim when they're not? Sure. But to dismiss what we're doing to each other for sadistic pleasure is beyond foolish. The people that are destroying someone for fun are the ones with a real mental illness.

Does Jonathan Martin have a mental illness and needs serious psychological help?  Yes, of course.

Does it somehow exonerate Richie Incognito or make him less of a dirt-bag for bullying him and hurting his mental state even more?  No it doesn't.

I just hate when everyone tries to take extreme position and don't acknowledge that one doesn't negate the other.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
