I think Smitty just broke his arm again

[KillerKat]

We'll just bring back Kenny if Smith is out next week.

awesome. clausen era begins without a WR to throw to.

he'll make the best of it, though.

Why is everyone saying this could be career coming to a close? Is the arm thing just something he cant come back from?

Peppers is gonna have a great "homecoming" with this WR corps, OL play, and QB situation awesome... lol

If it is the same arm, that would be three times in the span of a year. That's not good at all. He definitely needs to let it completely heal this time before he tries playing again.....even flag football.

Smith is OK, no break, per DG...

Smith said x-rays were negative. Scared, but OK.

Xrays negative according to gantt.

If you want to read posts on this board, you've got to get used to all the chicken littles who over-react.

Sam Mills Fan: His career is not over. A broken arm heals. He had a good game today, its not like he blew out an acl after not having any success for weeks on end. Way to be a pessimist though.

If JR doesn't get off his penny pinching ass and trade for V. Jackson, I'm gonna f**king snap.

Smitty getting hurt just makes it even more unlikely that we will make a move for Jackson. Without Smith we have absolutely no chance to be competitive this year...it would be pointless to bring in Jackson.

Well, nothing to see here... Now we can get back to trashing our coaching staff, playcalling, O-Linemen, secondary and our lack of WRs.

Let's see how Clausen looks with a week of practice with the 1's.

[Matt Foley]

Why would you subject him to that kind of hit with no chance of winning the game?

Quit being logical. That's what would make sense for a team with actual depth at the WR position, or at least a team that didn't trade their 2nd rounder a year after trading their 1st.
