I dont know if this is productive for this forum but here goes my first one:

What are the odds that Smitty didnt really break his arm? Instead he was told to chill out for a bit.

And while we are on the subject of odds. What are the odds that I will be able to buy Steve Smith underoos in the near future?. . . I would wear them with just a cape. . . . everywhere.

maybe goggles too.

Zero.Zero:

1. Smitty does not play games like that

2. Smitty's agent would not allow him to take the PR hit just to lay about as it could impact future contracts.

3. Richardson/Fox would not do this. I could see them hiding a potential player on IR for the year or nursing a hammy for preasonson but not faking a broken bone that required surgery.

Sadly, I think its #2 that makes the conspiracy most unlikely to me.

you do know they put another plate in right?

I never thought about how shady it is to IR stash people. We do it at least once a year. Pike probably goes out for the year with a papercut.

No, I've had my own broken bone problems the past few months.

Was the break that bad? All I remember was a bunch of "OMG WE'RE SCREWED" reactions.

From what I have been told you can't just put a guy on IR. First of all the medical report has to be sent to the league office and it has to be documented. Sure there is some flexibility so that a guy who breaks his leg can be placed on IR 3 weeks into the season even though he could be back by week 11 for example. If you have a guy who can't contribute due to an injury and you need to replace him, you can put him on IR for example. Still you can't just put a completely healthy guy on IR for no reason. If you get caught doing that I believe you suffer fines and punishment by the league office.

      Them playing behind a couple more seasoned guys until they get familiar with coverage and pace of play is a good thing though. We really can use them to spell the other guys, and in situational ball especially with Ransom on possible run/blitzing downs.

      I think completion percentage is a bit of a overinflated stat for a qb too. People place to much stock into it. So many factors to consider with it : receivers, how many attempts are made deep, the defense etc all play a roll in it. When it’s considerably low 50% or less the QB accuracy can come into question. But I don’t think it’s necessarily one of the better percentages to put so much importance into for that position. General effectiveness is far more indicative of the QB you have. First downs, 3rd and 4th down conversions, points scored and clutch plays IMO is how you grade a QB. Always bothered the poo out of me how people downed Cam for his completion percentage and that’s what they used to disregard him as an all time great. Dude damn near averaged 3tds to 1 turnover a game and was an obvious difference maker for us.
