Active Roster
He will be recovered by the start of 2018, please take a breath.
lmaoooo...actually the saying is very valid. Sometimes smart people out-think themselves.That kind of thinking (esp. by HIM) is exactly why he is in the position he is today......he knew better than everyone (including all the doctors) when he chose to forego surgery last time....LOL
First of all; anyone who thinks that the team doctors primary focus is the long term health and welfare of the players is sadly mistaken. Team doctors always do what's best for the team first, if that happens to align with what is best for the player then that is a bonus, but the needs of the team ALWAYS come first. People are saying that "he went against doctors advise" as if all doctors have the same agendas or opinions, but that is not the case. Has anyone learned anything with all of this concussion stuff going on? The league/teams don't care about the players.
Secondly, why do people think that Tannehill just made the decision against surgery in some sort of flippant manner? As Kdawg mentioned earlier, Tanny's financial situation gives him access to better medical care and information than most of us, he's definitely smart enough to take advantage of that. In fact, Tanny would have been remiss if he didn't seek as much advise and information as was available to him, because ultimately his long term health and welfare that should be most important to him and his family.
I get it; I am SUPER disappointed that Tanny is out for the year, especially considering the promise he showed last year, but we all have to remember that these are real people with real lives to be concerned with outside of football, not just play things for our amusement.
You don't have a clue what his doctors told him in either situation.That kind of thinking (esp. by HIM) is exactly why he is in the position he is today......he knew better than everyone (including all the doctors) when he chose to forego surgery last time....LOL

The wait on any news has ended
(I never claimed to, you did)You're correct (and, of course, neither do you).......but he'd be the first NFL player/athlete with an ACL injury in history to have a medical expert say "Nah.....don't get the surgery to correct it....just try the stem cell thing and see if it solves the problem"
