Jesus man, their was nothing definite but just an MRI and a radio guy in panic, and now he is back at practice and coach even calls him a game time decision after some thought he would be out for weeks, and you consider dropping him?
I would say its yesterdays news.
Thought he said 4-6 weeks, maybe longer. If it turns out that way, I'll tip my hat to him.
We need to see how this plays out. Anybody thinking the GTD is more a ruse to keep the Chargers' coaching staff on their heels? I have my doubts Ellington will play, personally.
Definitely possible. There have been plenty of times before. I remember McFadden after his best year started hot and was a GTD/Questionable for weeks before being shutdown. If they don't have to say yet, they won't. The coaches may go to the Bill Belichick school if injury reporting.
maybe but why have him at a practice and not wearing a boot or on crutches ...sounds risky just for a ruse
remember when mcfadden was day to day with a minor foot issue for 8 weeks?BustedKnuckles said:
no. i remember it being a pretty bid deal from the get go. he was in a boot and not practicing at all.
He said he COULD be out 4-6 weeks. With seeing 3 specialists and surgery being on the table as a potential treatment, this was a very real possibility. Sounds like they are not opting to go that route at this time, but they COULD have.
Agreed, he was just speculating, but he seemed to just throw that number out there to get some attention. And the whole sports world jumped on it, so mission accomplished.
I think the key here is no surgery "at this time". This doesn't sound like "hey, rest for two days then play a game". Sounds more like "rest a week or two and we'll revisit the possibility of surgery". Just the way I read it. I'm only guessing but I don't like the sound of it. Not buying the GTD for Monday.Jerry Curl said:
good post I fig I will do that in half the leagues.. I own him in like 4-5 leagues... I am inserting Stacy, Chris Johnson for him in 2 and another Decker for him but I will leave him in 2 others because Pierce, sankey are my options and I still hope he plays and tears it up. From the start I thought this felt like the overblown type where they say he may miss multiple weeks and gets us all frustrated then ends up playing and rushing for 150 and 2 tds and screws a few people.....montanagold said:
Another way of looking at it is the key is "no surgery." Also, it's unclear if the three specialists added "at this time," or if that's from the journalist. Again, if it doesn't reference the MRI results or at least identify what the ailment is, probably not worth wasting your sanity on it.
so basically he stated that he practiced enough to play and if he feels ok on MON he will go its a true GTD imo and I have a feeling he will start and play well.
great point, when we didn't even know the mri results this guy was throwing numbers out there like he had a specific timetable for Andre. 4-6 weeks is quite lengthy and real difficult to predict when you have very little info. I believe if he practed limited he will be out there if possible on Monday. Just my
if he isnt in a boot...doesnt need surgery and practiced on a limited basis id say hes just hurt and not injured...the MRI shows this IMO...he may shoot his foot up and play thru the pain if he knows he cant cause any real damage
Not really speculating, just saying that depending upon the MRI results, they could've recommend surgery, Had the specialists gone that route he would have been out at least until the bye week....
Why would you say that, has all the overwhelming info about his debilitating injury convince you of that? I'm still amazed that no info about the injury and just a comment from a radio guy has people worried more than good news about his foot like not needing surgery and at practice.
i disagree, not a hard decision for me. The timid don't win fantasy championships. There is absolutely zero reason they would have him practice today if he wasn't going to play Monday night, so I am keeping him in there. My other option is Bernard Pierce.
this guy was spouting off about 4-6 weeks and multiple extended time periods and now he may Play. HAH that guy is a quack.
