I don't necessarily think that's a pansy thing.

I do think it's a stupid thing. You get that caught on something and you could get hurt.

It’s called de-gloving when a ring does that to a finger. It’s a brutal injury that can happen to anyone wearing a wedding ring.

Has there been previous injuries in the nfl from this?

No clue. Don’t know if it’s ever happened in nfl. It’s a grotesque, painful injury though. It happened to Jimmy Fallon. The ring gets caught on something and slides off taking the top layer of your finger skin with it. I wear a rubber wedding band.

Agreed, blatant head shot there shouldn't be any wiggle room on that.

Quandry Diggs did the same thing against New England and was ejected.  Only difference was the angle of the hit.  Diggs was head on, Flowers came in from a slightly less dangerous angle.  But still leading with the helmet to helmet when the defender could have backed off.

There was a guy who lost a finger a few years ago (he took off his glove and one of his fingers went with it) but I don't know if that had anything to do with a ring.

I've seen a few stories of guys playing basketball and getting their ring caught on the rim, but I don't know that anything like that ever happened at the pro level.

I'm not really a ring/jewelry guy anyway, but if I were playing in the NFL, I definitely wouldn't wear anything like that during a game.

(Michael Crabtree has a story or two about why)

    • Dave would have the excuse/logic that he hasn’t been able to bring a QB that fits his O.  That was the prior HCs QB and it got that HC fired with quickness.   Can’t expect Dave to win this year without a QB if he went 5-12.  Morgan tied Bryce to him by not dealing him.   Be horrible this year and Dave isn’t getting more time most likely 
    • That's a serious word salad. Anywho. Both Justin Fields and Daniel Jones have always had something Bryce Young does not possess. The necessary physical tools.
    • What it feels like is a horrible source reality. What a person sees is a horrible source for reality. Stats can be easily misunderstood because because they are interpretive and contextual. Very large data sets with dozens more more connected variables are difficult to deal with and understand correctly. Throw in confirmation bias, abstraction, emotions and the way human brains are wired make it really easy to roll with eye tests and intuition. The negativity for Bryce was really high and most were ready to trade that asset for peanuts until the second half of last year when he began to play much, much better.  Hope sprang eternal.  The Saints game last year.  Going toe to toe and almost beating the two teams who went to the Superbowl last year.  Beating the Falcons when the Falcons had everything to play for.  Haters started adjusting their tune. Fan and media starting saying it looks like Carolina has found their franchise QB.   The real answer was and is, maybe. If he plays great on Sunday the anti-Bryce crowd will find other excuses or say it's only one game. If he plays horrible, it'll be more of the "I told you so. I knew it before he was drafted." (which is beyond stupid since there there is not an actual way to know if a player will be successful in the NFL or not.) I'll leave with a simple example.  Of the initial list of incompletions due to WR error, Jarod Goff has 0.  He was 31 for 39 at an almost 80% completion percentage.  His WR's much has balled out. Except when you add the facts that only 11 of those passes were to WRs.  14 were to RB's and 6 to the TE.  Gibbs has 10 of those receptions and he's elite so that explains why we shouldn't put much stock into this stat.  But then we see that Gibbs also set an NFL record with the least number of yards (31) for any player with at least 10 receptions in a game. Fun stuff! Oh yeah.  From week 1 how many people had Justin Fields and Daniel Jones playing at elite levels?
