Britt Knee (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter BUTTER
- Start date
all seriousness, NJ (by way of NYC) prob has better facilities since many top docs flock to NYC to make a zillion dollars per stitchIf he goes home, we may never see him in the NFL again. The rehab for an injury this severe is hard enough for players dedicated to their profession. A knucklehead like Britt doesn't appear to have the drive or mental make-up to endure what lies ahead. As an owner in all 5 leagues, it sucks, but that is the risk we take when we roster players like Britt.I hope for his sake he stays in Tenn and focuses on his rehab.

For the next several months, the battle will be mental, not physical. Welker's a tough dude mentally. If anybody can come back from this type of injury, it's Welker. Not so sure about Britt.welker tore both his acl and mcl. really, the mcl is trivial. i would guess its worse to rip the meniscus+acl, which is known as the terrible triad and is fairly common.It's too early to toss the towel in on him forever, but yeah, it isn't good news for his dynasty prospects. If in fact he has a double tear, that complicates things. I have heard of guys coming back from dual tears (McGahee?) but it complicates it. I recall that Daunte Culpepper had multiple tears in his knee and he never recovered.If he goes home, we may never see him in the NFL again.

quick look up shows i was indeed wrong, maybe i can plead misinformed, not that it will help.Terrible Triad = ACL, MCL, and meniscus, not just ACL and meniscus. The PCL is usually involved as well.welker tore both his acl and mcl. really, the mcl is trivial. i would guess its worse to rip the meniscus+acl, which is known as the terrible triad and is fairly common.It's too early to toss the towel in on him forever, but yeah, it isn't good news for his dynasty prospects.

My dynasty team thanks you for two good weeks together Kenny. We don't anticipate ever seeing you in the NFL ever again.

An official diagnosis still has not been given correct? CBS is the only website that I've found that indicates that he is having surgery because of the ACL/MCL but they said that right after the game while it was still just speculation. While it's highly likely that we will not see Britt again this season I'm holding out hope that the injury turns out to be less severe then previously thought.

So if it is both (ACL/MCL) and he rehabs religiously (not likely) is there any reason that he shouldn't be ready for next year (outside of being in jail)? How bad is this?

If those conditions are met AND he isn't suspended by the NFL for past/future transgressions, there's a high probability he'll be ready for opening week 2012. As you said, those are some big conditions. I don't study the guy, but hearsay has it he's got a ten cent noggin.

lol, you know what kind of rehab i meant
Odd that there's no news yet. The news on J. Charles came out rather quickly if I remember correctly.
The optimist in me has me thinking that they're in the process of crafting a message. Maybe it's not so straightforward and he's out, but not for the season, but in a range that's hard to quantify right now.

Yeah... I'm thinking second opinions or something. The type of stuff that keeps you from just out right dropping him while he hogs a roster spot all season!

The injury to JC was way more visual to him tearing an acl than Britt possibly having an ACL tear. JC slipped on the first down marker when he planted his foot. I can for one say, it didn't look anywhere as bad for Britt as it did for JC.

Tough break for Britt. He was having a monster year.
Moving on. Is there a Titan WR that can step into his spot and produce? Washington gets a big bump but someone else has to start on the opposite side.

You'd think this would create the perfect storm for Cook to get his #### together.

I'm not sure that Washington should get a big bump. He's not on the same planet as Britt in terms of talent. Putting him in the # 1 role may get him a few more targets but it may also put him against the opposing team's top cornerback. Unfortunately he's not a legitimate # 1 wr. I think you pretty much downgrade the entire Tenn offense. With that said, I'm a Britt owner who's trying to get Washington so I hope you're right.

Titans are working out Buster Davis and Donnie Avery tomorrow. Justin Gage has been mentioned as well. Local talk is that Washington will get a big bump. I would think Damian Williams would benefit a lot. However, I would think we all find more productive options elsewhere on the WW.Just dropped KB for Tampa defense for this week.

What are Britt dynasty owners doing with him? He has all world talent, so are you putting him on IR and riding out the storm, or will you try to deal to a rebuilding team for a player who can help you now?

I'm sneakily talking him up in my remorse for his injury, trying to use this opportunity to say "damn, I really needed him this year, guy's a top-10 dynasty WR, sucks I have to wait till next year now to plug-and-forget him into my lineup :( "Hoping some rebuilding team will jump with a nice offer that can help me win this year, and give me just as good of a play at WR in the future. We'll see.

I had him last year and thought that when Britt went out that he would benefit. This is what happened.Wk10 vs Miami 9 targets 3 for 26 1TDWk11 vs Wash 9 targets 5 for 117 0TDWk12 vs HOU 4 targets 1 for 10 0TDWk13 vs JAX 6 targets 3 for 40 0TDHe's just not a WR 1. Maybe it will be a different story with Hasselbeck, but I wouldn't count on it.

For those of you not using IR, are you getting any offers for him? Or what are you offering?

Nobody has traded or traded for Britt?

Does anyone know if Britt has officially been placed on IR by the Titans? Our league says that we can hold 1 player on our roster that is on IR or the PUP.
NFL.com says that Britt is out for the year but doesn't list him on IR. Don't know if this is outdated or not.

I think this actually hurts his value a lot. Having Britt on the other side taking out the #1 CB and possibly a safety was a big help to him. I expect a lot of 4/40 days and not much more.

I have a policy of not drafting players coming off reconstructive knee surgeries. I wouldn't touch him next year. 2013 maybe.
The Captain
Footballguy
I believe he's more talented than all 3. If I were rebuilding I'd consider dealing any of them for britt. If I'm trying to win now I don't deal for him unless I have considerable depth.

Not a bad policy. It is certainly a major concern. Welker is an exception. The caveat here is that it happened so early in the year.
