McCaffrey and Horn Injury Updates

Recommended Posts

We are a better team with CMC and Horn.

That said, we scored more points without CMC than with him.  We scored 17 without CMC.  We scored 7 with him.  

They scored more points when we had Horn, 6, than when Horn was out 3.

Now situational football drove that, but the next guy up, stepped up.  Chubba, Royce and Sam stepped up.  Brady called better and the D held their ground.

True, but I'm just pointing out, everyone and every bone heals differently.  And with it being more than one bone broken, that makes the injury as a whole more complex.  Now you're not just checking for healing in one bone, you're treating and following up multiple.  I just think that's more concerning than if it was one bone.

Not only that but a Jones fracture ( 5th metatarsal fracture) takes longer to heal because it has a poorer blood supply than the rest of the foot.  of course I am certain Horn will be given every treatment option to speed the process and one thing that will speed the process is the insertion of a screw to stabilize the bone.  So I would guess he is going in for surgery if he has a Jones fracture.  And the soonest he would be available to play again would be 8 weeks.

Wow, you read my mind.  I dont know much about these injuries, but as I was typing that, I even thought in regards to my "bones heal differently," that blood flow/supply to certain bones may be different depending where they are...  but, I had no idea that was actually the case if thats what he is dealing with.  Wow.

Again, I just really hope what we've heard is the absolute worst case scenario and hasn't been confirmed.  Hopefully the news is better than we expect.

I broke that bone in my right foot once, even after I had the cast off I had discomfort for several more weeks and could not put full pressure on it

even if he's cleared to come back this season I wouldn't want him to since he's not going to be in playing shape after 6 to 8 weeks of hobbling around

I broke my 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th metatarsal a couple years back.  So I have my own experience with how different bones heal differently.  I also hope he doesnt have a lisfranc injury as well cause that could make it worse by requiring more extensive surgery.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
